I think the distiction is this: Yes, he was *technically* resisting by failing to cooperate, but it's worlds apart from violently attacking officers or other students or damaging property. In that case, force would have been viable.
It seems like they could have just cuffed him and taken him away more tactfully. Hell, my other roommate was arrested just for standing around while police were arresting other people. He wasn't tased, beaten, or anything. They just cuffed him and tossed him in the car. Simple. Why was this drama queen given so much stage time?
And whether campus cops are real or not, I can tell you from experience that they are a little too big for their britches. They're bored and hence jump on an opportunity to get tactical.
