Ok let's also assume he was intoxicated. Even then why the fuck would you tase him? Should've waited for the medical personnel. Then man was in his own goddamned house. WTF!

IIRC the thought the seizure induced thrashing was him resisting arrest. Of course that begs the question, why were they trying to arrest someone having a seizure (that they'd been sent to help BTW) in the first place?
