Even assuming that this analogy is perfect, don't you think tasering him once might have sufficed? Subduing him was no longer the issue once he was limp on the ground, which is where the next several taser hits were administered. Given the extent of what happened, I'm boggled that anyone can defend the police here.

The cops showed up, grabbed his arm and proceeded to escort him out of the library when he fell to the ground in protest, hence why he was initially tasered. He was told to stand up, he refused (All the while screaming "Fuck you!") and was subsequently tasered again. He was told to stand up again, he refused and was tasered yet again. Would you have rathered the cops dragged him out of the library kicking and screaming? If he wouldn't have fallen to the groun initially, he wouldn't have been tasered initially. If he would have stood up instead of remaining on the ground hurling obscenities at the cops, he wouldn't have been tasered any subsequent times.
By my counts, the student broke three different rules.
1.) Failure to show ID,
2.) Tresspassing and
3.) Failure to comply with the cops.
That's why he was tasered and continued to be tasered.
And this is to the people jumping on the cops for their actions: "Everyone's a genius after-the-fact."
