This is getting silly:
The guy was in a private library, he was asked to show ID and he didn't it does not matter if he was a student or not, he did not have the identification and should have left when asked. He refused and waited until the campus police came.

He was Tasered on the low setting, I set up the Taser for my campus police at the campus I work at, and I tested it for them. it does not hurt, there is no real pain involved, its a constriction of the muscles, and its very disturbing, but the effects ware off quickly, you can get up after a few seconds of being Tasered on full, his was a light setting, he should have been able to walk. However if he had some medical condition this all changes.
He was asked to leave and he didn’t, if he had left as soon as the campus police came there would be no incident, they came and he still did not leave, he did not leave when they drew the Taser, or when they aimed, he waited... he was asked to leave and he didn’t, he’s an idiot and was asking for it, Once, Not 5 times. It was the taser, the Billy club, or mace / pepper spray.
Bottom line: he was asked to leave for a legit reason. He refused; instead of risking getting hurt themselves the campus police used the Taser to inspire cooperation. The question is did they use it to much, I think they did, but only an investigation will tell if they really did or not. They were not wrong to use it, but they may have been wrong to use it as much as they did.
