Read the article. He was leaving like he was told to do when the cop who tasered him got there. He was leaving as instructed when he was grabbed by a UCPD cop. That's battery.
The student was doing what he was told. The UCPD cop committed a crime when he grabbed him.
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, and when a crowd began to gather, police used the stun gun on him, Greenstein said.
Could you direct me to the part where it says he was leaving like he was told to do???
