The guy was/is a dick. That said, the taser was an excessive use of force. I had originally thought his removal might have been as well, but then I learned that 1) he is well-known around campus as an attention whore and 2) what isn't seen before the video is that he runs past the rest of a line of questioners to get to the mic, and that's when the security guards come by him. Kerry agrees that he'll hear the guy's question, but the people he cut in front of need to go first (or something to that effect). When he gets his chance, that's what you see in the video.
Still, there's absolutely no need to use the taser when there are no less than 5 officers holding the person down. That weapon is used FAR too frequently lately.
