First, the student is a total douchebag.

Second, despite the first comment, there is NO excuse for a group of FOUR TO SIX police officers to REPEATEDLY use a taser on ONE guy who has shown no signs of serious aggression or threats of aggression.

It's almost childish how some posters can't separate the first point (the kid being a douchebag) from the second point (the kid getting tased due to his douchebag behaviour). Just because someone is acting like a douchebag does not give you the right to inflict violence upon him. You may *want* to hurt him physically for his actions, but being able to resist these impulses is what makes you a mature adult, and not a child.
