Infuriating.
First off, the guy seems to be having mental issues. He's not well. Second, they tased him for using a civil disobedience tactic. Carry the guy off, something, but tase him to make him stand? Tasers make you fall down. Thirdly, if these guys can't handle one student then they haven't been trained well. They need to be let go. Yes, the guy didn't have his ID. But tasing someone because they don't have an ID? And to add to the mess, word is is that the guy's Iranian.
Abuse of power. Period.
