Smart-mouthed kids gets zapped.

Cops may have overused the zapper, by one or two. Can't really tell.

Punk kid deserved most of it.

It's a pretty simple formula really. When the cops tell you to do something...you do it. It just simplifies everything for everybody. And helps you avoid getting tazed/beaten/shot. Which this screaming brat clearly deserved.

Some of the STUPIDEST cops I have ever seen. They are also of course CHICKENS.

Had they tried this in a poor neighborhood in LA they would have had a full scale riot on their hands and their butts kicked. So this is what we have come to, bullies cannot get away with bullying poor people as much so they join college police departments and bully respectable people who will not riot. And they came close to having a riot among college kids in the library.

And I could care less that the kid was probably a punk and mouthy. Neither are against the law.

I don't think failing to show ID should warrant a zapping unless he presents some sort of threat. Who knows if they had cause to believe he was a threat (probably not)?

That said, the kid acted really stupidly, especially making it political by referencing the Patriot Act. That just encourages people to think he's a prick and might have staged the whole thing (also convenient that someone was videotaping his computer screen at that moment).

WHAT?????

The f'n cops got a thrill out of that. That was just a KID in the library...that video made me sick! I hope the filthy cops get sued and suspended. This Country needs to put an end to this type of abuse. All I could think about was my Son away at College. Sick!
