SIR!!! YES SIR!!!!
Zotted in a library by rent a cops for refusing to provide ID??? Give me a break, there better be MUCH more to this story, or this guy deserves to own that campus. If his name was not Tabawhatevah, but "Kingsfield Cromwell IV" or some such, would you think any differently?
You're wrong on a single count...
Student says "Here's your patriot act"... Admission of guilt...
Agree. Police telling him "Get Up" over and over. Why not just pick him up or handcuff him then pick him up. Does not look like appropriate use of a Taser to me. Tasers are used to stop someone with a knife or other weapon, not to make someone "get up".
It's against federal law for anyone other than a sworn law enfrocement officer to operate a taser. The kid was defying police officers, not "rent a cops."
No, the kid was tasered for refusing to leave the library. I am sure there was some back and forth that went on before the kid was tasered.
Who cares about this anyway? I don't get what the big deal is. The kid defied the authorities and he got tasered. It may have been an over reaction by the campus police, but maybe not. We don't have enough information to make any judgement.
