So yeah... I see that my understudy has taken the stage... You may have seen him...he's fighting cops and claiming to be Luke Skywalker.
"Leave me alone, fuckers. I'm Luke Skywalker."
You tell 'em, Brother. Good on you.

Reporter Willoughby Mariano filed this report: An Orange County physical education teacher was repeatedly shot with stun guns and hit with batons after he shouted he was a character from Star Wars and charged a police officer, police said Monday. "Leave me alone, [expletive]. I'm Luke Skywalker," David P. McCann, 30, of Orlando (shown at left) shouted at a police officer, according to a report.
It was 2 a.m. Saturday at Tanqueray's, a downtown Orlando club. McCann, a Colonial High teacher, was shouting at passers by at East Pine Street and South Orange Avenue. His shirt was unbuttoned.
An officer told him to leave. McCann charged at him, his arm raised high, according to the report. The officer shot a pepper spray-like substance, but it didn't work. They began to fight.
McKay whacked away the officer's Taser and knocked him to the ground. Officers punched him, Tased him, and whacked him with the baton. They kicked him in the groin. Nothing worked.
"Like an enraged mad man, McCann grabbed the [T]aser wires and ripped them free from the [T]aser," the report states.
Attempts at reaching McCann were unsuccessful.
It took several officers and numerous baton and Taser strikes to take McCann into custody. Three officers left with bruises and other non-life-threatening injuries.
"They said it was the worst case of resisting they'd ever seen," Jones said.
McCann had no complaints of injuries and was taken to Orange County Jail, according to a report. He was released on $1,000 bond.
McCann was hired August 2004 on an annual contract basis, said Lin Wright, a school spokesperson. School officials decided against renewing his contract several weeks ago, he said.
McCann was removed from the classroom, Wright said.
