I'm amazed how people can spew about how this guy had it comin, don't fight the law.  If thats how you feel then you are part of the status quo and need not fear. That said, the use of the Taser was over the top.  So give the student some credit for at least forcing the issue with an over-zealous human being who will no doubt get his attitude corrected. Wanna to be a cop?  Well expect to make snap decisions in difficult situations.  Make the wrong decision, sucks to be you.  Go fry McNuggets.
