Colleges around the nation are prone for rape and criminal activity, especially at night hours, just like someone on this thread mentioned. If ANYONE, especially someone who refuses to show an ID resists school policy, they deserve to be tazered just to honor those who have been raped or hurt due to a lack of rules like these.

It doesn't matter if you're a student at a university. If you break the rules (having an ID) and then resist leaving, you're asking for trouble, even if the cops did overreact (which is not even the important part of the story). In a world where rape and drug dealing is rampant on college campuses, you don't simply resist authority to "fight the man" as this teenybopper did. You say you don't have an ID and get your ass out of there before you get in trouble. This guy didn't. He didn't show an ID and refused to leave, hence the police coming. You guys honestly expect the police to let someone who may not even be a student to walk passed them after resisting the school rules on a computer? Yeah right. Him going apeshit after they restrained him didn't help either. He got himself into that mess by acting like a Cool Anarchist that he parades on his MySpace and now he can suffer the consequences.
if you think the cops overreacting is not the important part of the story, you're missing the whole point. I agree, there is nothing wrong with the police coming to the library in order to make the kid identify himself or leave. I don't think many people are going to argue with that. The use of weapons, a taser, a weapon that has killed people and will kill more people, on the kid when he was obviously not a threat to the police is what the whole discussion is about. If they didn't bring out the weapons this would probably not even be a story, just a one-line note in the Daily Bruin's police blotter.
