How old are you? And what country do you think you live in?

I'm 42.

And I think the policeman's request was reasonable.

And I believe refusing a reasonable request from a policeman means you deserve to be made to comply.

The cops instructed him to get up and go with them. He refused. The cops could either bodily remove him by force, which would have been far more dangerous, considering there were stairs involved.

Zapping the kid was a reasonable, measured response.

And dammed funny.

"Don't touch me!"

ZZZZZZZZZZ.

"I said don't touch me!"

ZZZZZZZZZZ.

The kid seems to have trouble learning from his mistakes! Did you ever see the Simpsons episode about Bart learning slower than the hampster?

He was trespassing because he had no id as per the rules on campus
He was asked to leave
He was aggressive and confrontational in a place with rules about behavior or this would not have happened.
He had an agenda
It is a good department btw

In a previous story, Dennis The Peasant here (see Monty Python and the Holy Grail) was actually told to leave and there was time that elapsed before the police were brought in.

Well before he was tasered, he was ignoring simple instructions.
