Qualified immunity continues to be a problem. Obviously it won't be addressed while we go through this civil war prologue we're currently in, but hopefully it will be addressed in our lifetime.

I'm a big proponent of cops having to spend time working in a prison or jail before letting them out on the streets. One of the big things you deal with in incarceration is medical issues. It's not the same as getting an EMS cert or anything like that, but it does give you enough so that you don't tase a guy coming off a grand mal.

. . . Yeah, no. His name was on the warrant. It was his nephew or cousin or whatever, but they were both named 'Jerry Reason'. He identified himself as such and the warrant had that name on it.
This one is just propaganda against cops. They were more aggressive than I'd have liked to see, but his name was on the paper.

But he showed his ID, which proved he wasn't the right person, and at least two of the deputies already knew him personally.

Even after confirming he wasn't the suspect, they still detained him, used force, and later discussed whether they could justify an arrest anyway.

You're confusing the timeline.
1: they stopped him. Said they had a warrant, asked for his name.
2: He gave his name, the same name on the warrant.
3: arguing.
4: Warrant check. Says the name he gave.
5: Detainment. The force may have been a bit much, but considering the temper he'd shown, it was I think within acceptable range. They didn't slam him or break anything. They put hands on and detained him.
6: Talked to him, here is where he's fully recognized by one of the other deputies. Name remains on the warrant.
7: They ask and find out he is not the guy from the warrant, it's another guy, a relative, with the same name.
8: discussion
