First of all I think that kid deserved at least two shots with the tazer for being a whiny little bitch. The cops should have just dragged his ass along the floor when he refused to get up instead of making a huge scene over the incident. They will now probably lose their jobs for their stupidity.
It's not against the law to be in a public building that's OPEN after 11:00. I'm ashamed of all of you that support the actions of those officers. Each one of you should be tasered 4 times and then asked to 'stand up' ad nauseuem.
You fvcking psychophants disgust me.

Two things here:
1)That kid was being a smart a$$. He should have left when he was confronted for ID. It's policy. Second, he should have just stood up when the officers asked him to. They warned him. He was being loud, violent, and he was asking for trouble.
2) The officers could have handled it differently. They should take into consideration that if they stun someone, that person might not be physically capable of getting back up on their feet. From what I saw on the video, it seemed as though they were on some kind of power trip instead of just doing their job.

It really is 'big brother'. If I had a rule at my internet cafe that only people with accounts could be in the center after 11:00 and I found you 'postmortemia' on a computer without an account I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I tasered you 4 times as I led you out the door? The analogy is nearly the same.

The problem here is that it's not a public building, it's university property. The reason he needed ID is to prove that he is a student. Regardless of how you feel about it, those are the rules and you must abide by them. The guy refused to give any form of ID and then refused to leave. What kind of message does that send? And then, even when police are present, he lays on the ground and doesn't move. If you refuse to both ID yourself and leave a premises you are identifying yourself as an unknown, and unknowns are dangerous. If he had simply left when the CSO (basically the security guard at the library) asked him to, none of this would've happened. Instead he turned into an ass and got tazered. You know what pissed me off watching that video? The mob of students shouting "we want your badge numbers!" and "oh just let him go!" In the eyes of the police that man was a very real a danger to the very people trying to protect him. In all honesty I am surprised no one pulled their guns on him...
Also, someone above mentioned that if this had happened at an airport, if someone ran through security, people would still be disgusted. Completely inaccurate. If you sprinted through airport security you would be shot rather instantaneously. People would still complain but it would easily be justified.

Dragging a guy along could easily result in more physical damage than tasing him.
About everyone bashing the guy that brought up a Demacratic Congress:
A "Demacratic Congress" has nothing to do with political parties;
democratic?adjective
1. pertaining to or of the nature of democracy or a democracy.
2. pertaining to or characterized by the principle of political or social equality for all: democratic treatment.
3. advocating or upholding democracy.
Also, the students asking for badge numbers should have waited for the police to finish what they were doing. Its rediculus to expect a police officer to just drop what he's doing, while arresting someone and give you his badge number.
the amount of force you think police officers should use in response to a student refusing to leave a university library, who honestly poses no threat to other students, is astounding.
you may argue with me about the threat this student posed to other students and in response, i'd like to know what that threat would be.
you think it would have been alright for the officers to have pulled out their guns in this situation?
there were three fvcking police officers and one idiotic student who became limp and refused to leave the library. do you honestly fvcking believe that police officers haven't dealt with far worse individuals without resorting to using tasers? use your fvcking police training and the two other officers there to drag the student out of the library. how much more responsive did he become when he was tasered?
how much clearer can this situation fvcking be? god damn.
lol...what a little bitch student. when the cops ask you to do something like stand up, or leave...it's not a suggestion. it's funny to hear him try and complain and say "i got tazed for no reason, I will not stand up"..lol, bunch of whiners.
So you're saying that if someone refuses to identify themselves, refuses to leave when asked by security, and freaks out and lays on the ground when police ask to leave, you can safely assume they are of no danger to anyway?
assume
The more I think about it, I believe it really is that simple. The guy may have been a douche, but he did not appear to do anything to cause a physical threat, but there's no context to fully judge that by. Strictly from what I saw, they should have cuffed him, hogtied him, and carried him out, and THEN charged him with resisting arrest.
It was excessive to taze him, but in the end, tazing just really, really hurts. It doesn't cause permanent damage. They didnt beat his ass and break bones.
It may seem like they resorted to tazing a bit quick, but we didnt really see what led up to it.
It's the ENTIRE point, if he wouldve given id this wouldnt have happened. If he wasnt a student he should've left, if he was a student he should have known to have his id on him and leave when he couldnt provide it.

They didn't know he wasn't a student either!
Like I said, he should have had ID.
after he was cuffed, what kind of threat do you think he posed? enough to mandate a taser? 5 tasers?
