[QUOTE]Originally posted by permanentjaun: [QB] Thanks for saying I was whining. I appreciate it. The question still stands. Why didn't he cooperate with the cops from the beginning? The cops didn't ask anyone else because they had their first priority; the student refusing to show he was legally allowed to be there. If he had an ID they would have gone on to the other students. Are you saying they're supposed to ask if a student has ID, they refuse, and they just say "ok, well you're only allowed in here if you have an ID. You don't have an ID but I'll still allow you to stay here." It wouldn't be fair to the students who have paid for their right to be in the library and attend that esteemed university. What happens when the student has a knife or a gun? No matter how many officers there are versus the one student the weapon is now a very important tool that has shifted the power into the students hands. If you don't like officers using tasers then perhaps you'd like them using billy clubs or guns. I'd rather take a shock and burn than broken bones, possible head injury, or death from a gun. Besides the burn the taser victims are back to normal within serveral hours at most. That can't be said for people taken down by clubs or guns. You're saying the cops had no reason to take the student down. They did. He refused to cooperate many times and did not produce his ID to prove he was allowed in the library. He can then be assumed to be trespassing. All he needed to do was cooperate and leave. I don't see that in the video. Like I said though, after the intial taser the cops should have been able to take him out without him being able to walk. They did use excessive force in that sense. They were correct in his initial taser though. Don't give anyone an out. The student did that when he refused to cooperate. The blame would most surely be on the cops if he had simply showed an ID or left when asked to leave because he had no ID. He gave the cops an out. [/QB][/QUOTE]
