Why didn't they just handcuff him and haul him out? There were like 3 cops around him. I mean, if he started swinging than yea, mace/taze him.
Seems like they escalated force a little too quickly.
Shoulda just picked his butt up and kicked him out on the curb. Probably would have made less of a commotion too.

Once you get physical with someone there's no telling what can happen. He might've swung back, which would've resulted in the cops getting physical, and breaking an arm or something. Tasering makes sure nothing physical ever takes place and no bones will break.

The cops were in the right. When a cop tells you to do something, DO IT.

The kid sounds like a complete douchebag in that account of the events.

The cops weren't rent-a-cops, they were police officers. The guy didn't comply so he got tasered. Then he wouldn't get on his feet after he was ordered to about 8 million times so he got tasered again (FYI, you you have full mobility about 3 seconds after being hit by a taser).
I don't see what the problem is except for there being too many douchebag college students.
But according to a study published in the Lancet Medical Journal in 2001, a charge of three to five seconds can result in immobilization for five to 15 minutes

im shocked that some of you people think that when a cop demands you to do something and you don't comply he can physically assault you. he can arrest you and that's all that should have been done. his actions in no way warranted tazering and certainly not FIVE tazers. un-fvcking-believable. i hope the school gets royally sued.

If a cop asks you to do something and you don't do it, then you pay the price. The guy was resisting.

my favorite part is when the police warned him like 5 times to get up or he would get tasered again, and he just says "fvck off" like some kind of tough guy. then they taser him and he starts screaming like the little girl he is

They guy should have just left and then we wouldn't be talking about this now. However, I believe that if a police officer is asked for his badge number and/or name and he/she doesn't give it then that person should be suspended without pay for at least a month. I have seen way to many cops get away with harassment and other things because they simply don't give that information and leave before you can get a good look at their badge.

i'm shocked at some of these responses. the "price" of his resistance is being handcuffed and jailed, not being tazered repeatedly.
how the fvck can you honestly believe that the police have some uninhibited right to tell you what to do and then to use VIOLENCE when you don't comply.

The kid was out of control. It was legitimate use of the tazer.

he was resisting arrest by acting limp on the ground? right.
and even if he was, he's entitled to get tazered 5 times? i'd love to see that happen in NYC by the nypd.

Where do people get these ideas!?!
HELLO!! It's called state law! If you don't listen to a cop when he tells you to do something he has full legal authority to "assault" you.
DUHHH!!

going limp IS considered resistance.
but as was mentioned earlier, I find it odd they couldn't cuff him and carry him out.
