The dangers of the non compliant:
The true non compliant is no real danger, the danger comes from the combative feigning as a non compliant. As the police move in to drag his limp body, he could lash out, with a fist, or a knife, injuring or killing a cop. as pigglet put it:

People like you are the reason they tasered him. Because cops are afraid of getting hurt for just asking some questions. Anyone try thinking this through from the cop’s point of view? You get a call, there’s some ass hat in the library that was asked for ID, refused and then refused to leave. You show up, and you see him walking towards the exit (or sitting at a desk). You need to talk with him, to find out if he’s just some student who forgot there ID, or some rapist / serial killer / douche bag who shouldn’t be there. You approach and place you hand on his shoulder to stop him and question him. Maybe you wanted to be quiet in a library so you don’t yell ‘we want to talk with you’. As soon as you touch him, he screams and goes limp. Why did he go limp, is he just an ass hat, or is he going for a weapon. You ask him to get up, he screams, instead of getting close and getting cockpunched or worse you give him a jolt, he screams even louder, a crowed begins to gather, and the situation is getting out of your hands, a riot could start placing you in serious jeopardy. Some other students are getting antsy, yelling at you the situation is going down hill you threaten them to make sure they don’t interfere; he needs to be removed to diffuse the situation. He still won’t get up and you don’t want to be cockpunched. Tasered again, and again until he complies or you can get enough guys on him to completely control him and drag him so he can’t cockpunch anyone.
He could have solved everything, by saying 'please don’t touch me, I am leaving right now, do you guys need to talk with me, or can I leave.
This is being made into a bigger issue then it is. There is police brutality, and it’s horrible, but this is not it. If you get combative with a cop, expect to get hurt. If you feel like you were wrongly treated by a cop, get there badge number, and file a report if the report did nothing, call your mayor, senator someone higher up. Eventually it will be taken care of, and if you were wronged, it will be straitened out.
