dont you think that getting tazered by cops is a bit excessive as a penalty for forgetting your fucking id?

The guy wasn't tasered for not having his ID; He was tasered for not providing his ID when requested and then not leaving
private property when asked to.
As my original question was ignored, I'll ask it again. What would you have rathered the cops to do since most of you seem to be against the idea of using a taser? If the cops had used physical force to remove him from the premises then you would have complained that they used an excessive amount of force given the situation. The only other option would be to do nothing, but that'd be stupid. As stated earlier, using a taser is preferred to physical force.
Edit: It doesn't matter if you're a student or not. If you can't provide your school ID when you're requested, then you can be asked to leave the premises. What I can't understand is how people are sticking up for this guy. He had an ample amount of opportunity to leave even before the cops arrived, and he even refused to leave when the cops asked him nicely. And it's funny because he might even be rewarded for being a dumbass.
Yay for America!
