He wasn't an immigrant he was hear on a one-year student exchange... I don't think it is reasonable at all to demand all tourists learn english.
There was no break in. Literally the only thing he did "wrong" was not speaking english. Are you honestly supporting that the police can taze anyone they meet who doesn't speak english? This is a beyond absurd notion.
Other actions taken within the last couple years: tazing nonviolent protesters, tazing people who had already given up, tazing an autistic kid who was basically doing nothing at all. Its not like it was some mistake, the police take that as a default reaction to any situation they enter.
