In this day and age, it does not look good for 3 cops to be laying on a guy while continuing to taser him. It might have been necessary from the cops point of view, but it looks really bad from the PR side.

What you see in the video isn’t bad for either party

Where did he assault the policeman?

Why were the policeman called there to begin with?

For Jaxson, where is the video of the policeman kneeling on his neck?

These are the things that will determine his future as a Pelican

yeah i had some shite this morning but i was going to say this video is neutral, overall. it's bad for Jaxson (he's clearly resisting but not likely in a felony manner) and bad for the cops (they fricked up a bunch)

the crucial evidence is the 5 minutes or so before that video. the cops' behavior can be justified by those 5 minutes or they could be engaging in their own criminal behavior. clearly the alleged felony behavior of Jaxson occurred prior to that video (or else there is no case whatsoever against him).

You can certainly see a cop kneeling/squatting around that area toward the end of the video.

ETA - I see you said as much in a later comment.

Yeah, I did not learn anything new from that video. He seemed to be resisting and they seemed to be trying to apprehend him. Was it excessive force? Cannot judge as the video starts after he is on the ground. Did he fight with them before? Who knows? I am sure more will come out.
