'Tase me, and you'll see what happens,' an American Airlines passenger said. Police did - 10 times.

‘Tase me, and you’ll see what happens,’ an American Airlines passenger said. Police did — 10 times.

What began as a simple boarding dispute at Miami International Airport escalated into a tour de force of plane drama on Sunday as a belligerent passenger was repeatedly stunned by police, forcibly carried out of his seat, then driven through the terminal with his head hanging out the back of a golf cart like a man in a stockade.

All that was before, police say, Jacob Garcia lunged for an officer’s gun and kicked out a squad car window.

Better start at the beginning.

Garcia, 28, with a handlebar mustache whose precise curls somehow survived the exertions to come, boarded the American Airlines flight around 9 p.m., bound for his hometown of Chicago.

No wonder people die from being tased.

And the fact that none of the passengers don't object to what's happening is also scary.
