Er, well if you don't have a student ID card and you snuck yourself into a student-only library, and the refused to leave when asked repeatedly and politely by the student volunteers to the point where they had to call the police, and continued to refuse to leave after they asked repeatedly and politely, and then make a scene inside the quiet computer lab for about a minute, you deserve to get tazered.

That's why God invented the tazer in the first place.

The fact that he's screaming "I said I was leaving" after being tazered doesn't mean anything. If he really was leaving, he would've been gone before the campus police arrive.

Campus police have the slowest response times ever.

Patriot Act my ass. I woulda punched that guy in the face for being a tool.

That's true we don't have the entire story about what happened. Well at least I don't know the entire story.

I heard from a cop that cops wouldn't do this regularly because it's their job on the line, but the student was actually being escorted out of the library and he went limp and refused to comply, hence the tasering.
