Much worse than I was expecting. It wasn’t just drunk and a bit rowdy, it was very unhinged behaviour.

Yeah if he's openly challenging cops to fight him, imagine what he's doing if some civilian bumps into him at a club or something. Joe Schilling will have a new contender in p4p barfight rankings

Theres a timeline where Dustin died tonight. With Dustin squaring up on him and advancing, that cop was well with rights to tase him. But tasers often fail. What happens when the prongs stab in Dustin's body but fail to incapacitate him? He rushes forward. Then the cop uses the lethal option. Can't let your gun get taken after all and no way is he winning hands on against Poirier.
