I think he just earned himself a lifetime ban on AA (once he gets out of jail).

Well here's the story from NBC https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ai...senger-n868281 only they report it was a Chicago bound flight.
NBCnews is not blocked here (I am also happy FT doesn't have "incidental nudity"

Is "mis-tasered" a word? If so, then that word makes the headline correct. In the video you can see that the taser missed the target, at point-blank range. Wires are trailing and the two darts are dangling free. The cop continues to repeatedly use the taser in "drive stun" mode, which goes against the guidelines of most police departments. Reason: in full taser mode, the device can cause a suspect to stop resisting arrest, thus reducing struggle and injury for everyone. But in drive stun mode, all it does it cause pain and piss people off. It's exactly equivalent to three huge thugs holding you down while one of them continually zaps you with a cattle prod.
Anyway, go ahead and view the lurid video, but NOT as a means to mock a fellow human being and NOT for the purpose of observing effective law enforcement. Instead, view it as an instructional video with a perfect example of how NOT to use a taser. Never at any point was the suspect "tasered". They fired a taser AT him, but did NOT taser him.
Mental note: wear a flannel shirt if you're ever in a position where you think a bunch of thugs might gang up on your and repeatedly poke you with a cattle prod.

I was pretty surprised by the seemingly careless use of the taser in this incident. I get that it was a crazy situation, but at one point it seems like the cop almost inadvertently tased one of the pax seated in the crammed rows where they were trying to operate.
Also looked like they slammed him into a row, and a teenage kid was sitting right there.
Crazy.

Miami Police use a Taser to get Passenger off Aircraft
I guess this is just another day in Miami at this point, but the insane stuff that happens there never ceases to amaze me:
