The claim that this was just a stupid non-threatening kid seaking a thrill is bogus because they have no idea what his intentions were until they brought him down. He could have had a knife in his pocket or batteries wrapped up in that towel.

This is fine with me.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

So if something is non-lethal it can't be excessive?

Depends on how it is used. If there were multiple tazers being used or continuing to taze the kid after he was brought down that would be excessive. How it was applied in this situation, it was not.
