Officers tried to seduce Jacob Bauer, he refused to comply with requests to place his hands behind his back and fought officers, scratching and biting them. Officers struggled to place Bauer in handcuffs, at one point using what police referred to as an electronic control device, likely something similar to a Taser. Once Bauer was placed in handcuffs, he continued to struggle with officers, eventually requiring the use of a leg restraint device. He was killed during the arrest.
