You typically need a warrant for a search and seizure, not to enter a home to investigate....the officer asks very early on to step outside. The officer was professional, and these punks wanted to engage in a negotiation and at one point, one of the idiots tried to shut the door on the officer. Multiple times the officer requested them to step outside, and each time he was met by refusal. So let me ask you, should the officer just sit there and negotiate? "Step outside" is not a request, it's an ORDER....JUST DO IT
He should have not have used a taser and beaten him. Just because he's not following orders doesn't mean the officers can use any level of force.

Again, watch the video....he was resisting from as soon as the video started rolling, he had to be DRAGGED out of the apartment, resisting the whole time....yup, you act like that, you need to get zapped
Count me as one of those that really don't care about these idiots. You break the law, you resist the police, you face the consequences. If that means you get tazed and get a beating, so be it.
The officers reportedly responded to a noise complaint at a University of Alabama off-campus apartment just before 3:30 a.m. on Sunday. The timeline of the events is unclear, but several videos showing different angles of the incident have surfaced on social media.
One video appears to depict an officer standing in the doorway and speaking to people inside the apartment. The individuals inside are heard refusing to leave and instead ask whether the officers have the right to search their apartment.
"Do you have a warrant?" a voice off-camera asks the officer.
"I don't have to have a warrant," the officer responds, before yelling, "I'm going to ask you one more time to get outside, now!"
The students question whether they are being arrested or detained and inform the officer that they are taping the incident.
A group of officers ultimately enter the apartment. Footage taken from the hallway of the building appears to show police pulling at least one man from the doorway and pushing him up against a wall before one of the officers uses a stun gun on his body. Another officer appears to beat the student repeatedly with a baton.
I'm hoping this is the same group of assclowns that was hanging that ugly Hurricane Katrina banner.

My daughter at UA sent me the video first. Then I found the others.
My response, if one of those was my kid, she would be BEGGING for the PD to not call her parents.
Alas, I would have to go but, before I bailed her ass out I would have already been to her apartment, packed everything up and then it would be a long drive back home. Clearly, they demonstrated they have some issues and I am not spending my dime for them to behave like this. Most of the UA parents believe this way as well.
If they are paying their own way 100%, passing all of their classes, then they can behave how they want. Just know that there are consequences and they may not always be pretty nor favorable.
