Heading: Phase Three: The officers repeatedly tase Olson.

Text: The officers tased Olson numerous times in rapid succession. The arrest audio recorded use of the tasers in drive-stun mode repeatedly over the course of approximately 50 seconds. Olson affied that Simon began tasing him on his back, then reached around to tase him between his legs. Simon testified that he first tried two two-second stuns on Olson's back, followed by three two-second deployments on Olson's collarbone, and then two two-second deployments on Olson's inner-thigh. [6] Joseph testified to deploying his taser in drive-stun mode approximately five or six times. Oaks was not armed with a taser and did not deploy one during the incident. Olson affied that, out of fear, he wrapped his legs around the support pole after the tasing began, and that his leg muscles reacted each time he was tased. His hands remained handcuffed behind him. The officers stated that Olson's actions appeared to be further attempts to kick them and to resist arrest.
