There in is he the problem they face. This situation was a no win kind of deal. The guy was clearly agitated and wasn't going to leave. If they could have figured out who his parent or guardian was and contacted them then they would have to wait for the next showing until that person got there and hopefully calmed him down. So there is a decent chance, depending on ticket sales that the theater own would be pissed at them.
If they taze him there would be people up in arms about them tazing a mentally challenge guy. He was clearly a big dude if they had to string together three sets of cuffs to handcuff him so he clearly wasn't in the best health.
if anything, this case and others like the one in New York should teach cops that they shouldn't handcuff fat guys then lay them face down on the ground it makes it hard for them to breathe and it could cause them serious issues.
