8. Sort of sounds like they did it to protect him.

The story sort of made it sound like they did it to keep him from going back into the house and getting hurt. I mean, was there probably a better way to that, yes, but in all it sounds like it was a good faith effort.

9. Good faith effort by the cops? Puhlease.

They tased a man after he was trying to protect his home and save individuals inside.
