Toronto's Finest, Serving and Protecting

I realize this is going to be short, still in the process of moving, but I couldn't leave this one...watch the video.

Can anyone please explain to me what the police were thinking? So, let's see...you have a "domestic incident"--which any cop will tell you are the most volatile ones possible--combined with a clearly agitated, irrational guy.  In the course of your 4 hour "negotiation" with him, amongst other things, he stands on the edge of his balcony, obviously acting a wee bit unstable to say the least. So naturally, the logical thing to do is...taser him?

This is beyond unreal.
