Last night, Saturday May 21 2005, Arcata police officer Ed Cashman tazered a young man on the plaza in downtown Arcata.
Ten eye-witnesses who all observed the attack all reported the same sequence of events:
- the cop orders the man to "come here"
- the man starts to walk away, displaying NO violent or aggressive behavior
- the cop tazers the man
