Well, he was a big guy, and he had swung for a few of the cops, and he continued to struggle after repeated warnings that he was going to be tasered. It's a judgement call by the police, maybe with hindsight they could have handled it better but their first priority was to ensure the safety of the Senator and the other people in the room. If he broke free, there was no way of knowing what he would do.
