"In this case it is obvious that this guy was refusing to leave, at that point he became a tresspasser."

Even though the article says he was walking towards the door when UCP grabbed him, you were there and know in fact that the article is wrong and that the guy was refusing to leave?

From what I can tell reading the article, and watching the video, (unlike you I was not there) the police arrested him for not leaving fast enough to suit them. This raises the question.

Is it a law enforcement officers job to protect and serve the public, or is it the publics job to serve the whims of LEOs and when ordered to jump, ask how high, no matter how petty and unreasonable or illegal the LEO's demands might be? Are LEOs Gods who we dare not question?

"They could have beat him into submission, but then they'd get sued. They could have sprayed him with mace, but then that would have endangered everyone else who was standing around cheering this idiot on, or they could have tazed him a few times."

or they could have reigned in their temper and allowed him to exit under his own power and in his own time. This kid is an creep and he probably planned this whole vile little episode. The really sad thing is these pathetic LEOs fell right into his trap.

They and the university will be sued and the LEOs will be lucky if they aren't charged with assault.
