Seems justified to me but I suspect a lawsuit is coming.

Papers Please!!Tuesday after police did a routine check of student identifications at the University of California
What did he do that warrented him being carded and thrown out. If they are concerned about who is getting in there they should be asking for ID at the door. In you truely are trying to protect students carding people AFTER they have entered is a bit late don't you think?She said police tried to escort Mostafa Tabatabainejad, 23, out of the library after he refused to provide ID and would not leave.
This had nothing to do with the patriot act. It had to do with poor policy."Here's your Patriot Act, here's your ... abuse of power," according to the campus newspaper, the Daily Bruin.
I think there is some truth to that.
Somewhere along the line "protect and serve" got changed to "officer safety" and "compliance to police orders".
Regardless, it is a political problem and you ought to be directing your wrath at politicians who act like they have no control over LE actions, if you believe this is improper.
(I know he turned out to be a student, but let's assume the cops didn't know for sure he was one.)All the nut needed to do was show ID. Otherwise, he is tresspassing,
Why do you guys have to bash the police?
They made the best decision they could under the circumstances.
They just want to get home safe to their families.
Let's hear both sides of the story before we judge.

Bruincard - don't leave home without it.

Why do they have to taze people for not showing ID? Circular argument.

I see it used more for offense than defense. It's nothing more than an electric whip to many, I think.
If the guy didn't want to move, dragging him out would have been fine as an option. Backup would make it even easier. Might look bad to some people, but nowhere _near_ as bad as zapping him repeatedly. I guess the cops didn't feel like making the effort to do that and decided to play out their Rambo fantasies instead.
