I agree, and after the public video, we can bet that the administration is running into a nightmare.

Dont get me wrong.. I definately think the repeated tazing was excessive, ... but so was the students attitude.

I can imagine the situation, the law enforcer tell the guy to leave or whatever.
The guy refused and surely tried to explain their reasons.
The law enforcer put a finger on the guy and this was the point where everything went out of control.
Many people are trained to obey without questions, without to think, and consider reasonable that commands from enforcers must be complied.
To refuse is an option, a personal determination, it is valid when you believe that you are right, and it is still more valid, when your opponent want to subdue you by force.
EDIT: If understand well the video the abusers wanted the guy up, but he did not resist, he just did not collaborate. :hmm::hmm::hmm:
Let's understand the following about the situation: "
Police forces are the instrument of the State to keep the monopoly of violence".
Into this frame many enforcers abuse their position.
