If they're from the LAPD, the answer is TEN !!! And they need to fire three beanbag rounds and a taser to subdue him.
You can watch the gripping action here:

In another shining example of US "law & order", a homeless woman faces life in prison for merely picking up a nightstick while police were killing yet another homeless man:
A thin black woman ... stepped into the frame and picked up a nightstick one of the officers dropped during the fierce struggle with Keunang.
The homeless woman, Trishawn Cardessa Carey, 34, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon against a police officer and resisting arrest, and could face 25 years to life in prison under California's three-strikes sentencing law for repeat offenders.
After nearly five months in jail, Carey was granted a reduction in bail late Wednesday afternoon, to $50,000 from just over $1 million.
Carey's supporters, about a dozen of whom showed up in Los Angeles County Superior Court for the hearing, tie her case to the national movement against mass incarceration of black people, which got a boost this month in a speech by President Obama.
"These excessive charges are just updated Jim Crow," said Suzette Shaw, a member of Los Angeles Community Action Network's Downtown Women's Action Coalition.

Clearly there is more going on here than mere police brutality. Is the LA District Attorney's office on a crusade to rid the city of poor and homeless people ???
And if you think this is bad, wait until our economy collapses and causes the ranks of the homeless to swell. That's when the fangs will really come out.
