The only thing that could make me think it was justified is if it becomes known that the guy tried to assault an officer. Judging from this video and the number of students who witnessed it, I'll give that a snowball's chance in Hell, but sure..

Yes it does, if he was asked to remove his hands from his pockets and place them out away from his body, and he did not and kept his hands hidden, i have absolutely no problem with him being tasered. if he was asked, and he complied, he should have not been tasered, we just don’t know everything that happened.

Well, obviously we have a completely different opinion of what constitutes appropriate force.

This has nothing to do with the 4th amendment.
He was not searched, or arrested, he was asked to leave, and then he yelled and went limp, yelling is combative, and may have made the officers think he was a danger to them.

God knows I never said the 4th amendment had anything to do with this! Don't put words in my mouth, it was a simple point of debate, shouldn't be that hard to understand. What I said is that the 4th amendment can make it more difficult for the police too but there are damn good reasons to have it, just like there are damn good reasons the police can't go around tasering anyone who doesn't cooperate as well. Even if he's yelling, how threatening...
