The student, Mostafa Tabatabainejad, was shocked Tuesday at about 11 p.m. as police did a routine check of student IDs at the University of California, Los Angeles Powell Library computer lab.
A UCLA police officer shocked a student with a stun gun at a campus library after he refused repeated requests to show student identification and wouldn't leave, police said.
She said police tried to escort Tabatabainejad, 23, out of the library after he refused to provide identification. Tabatabainejad instead encouraged others at the library to join his resistance.

He was leaving when he was assaulted. Up to the point the cop committed battery no crime had been committed.
So I agree with you that he broke the rule about haveing his student ID with him when using the library and he should face what ever the school's prescribed punishment is for that infraction.
The cops committed crimes. They should be prosecuted.
We are a nation of laws. No group should be above the law.
