I'm not wholly convinced that they fully tried to simply grab his arms, cuff him, and carry him out, as all the video shows is him encircled by officers. The fact that they 'failed' to cuff him (which I'm not convinced that they did) could also be attributed to the fact that one officer had his taser pointed 'at his chest,' instead of putting his effort into securing his arms.
I dunno, the kid definitely had it coming for resisting, but I still think they could have subdued him without the taser.
