The kid was definitely being a douchebag about the whole thing, and I don't have a ton of sympathy for him.
However, if the reports that the police tasered him 3,4,5 times are true, that's simply uncalled for. I was under the impression that tasers are supposed to be a non-lethal way to combat aggressive resistance, not teaching douchebag kids a "lesson."
The kid could have avoided the whole mess if he hadn't been such an angsty asshat, but there were far better ways for the police to deal with the situation. I'm interested in what follow-up investigations conclude.
