Maybe it's just me, but I thought this was waaayyy out of line. 5 officers, 1 student, and they needed a TASER?!? Because he was being a bit obnoxious to a former Presidential candidate?
Sorry, but I had a scene erupt in "my" courtroom last week involving 3 criminal defendants, 3 deputies to start off with (ended up with 10), and no one needed a taser, billy club, or anything else. What's up that these officers are getting so damn force happy? Just because you are permitted to use force doesn't mean you need to use force, and this seems a bit over-the-top to me.
