He screams "Get your hands off me!" at the top of his lungs. From this, we can assume the cops were having to physically escort him out since he would not comply with their verbal requests to do so, and we can infer with almost as much certainty that he was physically wresting himself away from them (because really, who screams "get your hands off me" while calmly continuing to allow the cops to keep their hands where they are?) You fling your body around a cop, you are by definition a physical threat. I don't expect cops to have to take a beating in an effort to avoid tasering an asshole who deserves it anyway.
