It isn't the job of campus security to administer punishment. That is for the courts. And yet, the actions that the guards took smells more like punishment to me.
I see no reason why this situation couldn't have been efficiently handled without a need to taser this person, not only once, but twice. Why were 3 guards not able to handcuff this person and remove him from the building? If he had been punching and kicking them, perhaps I could see the necessity but it was an act of peaceful resistance and shouldn't have been met with this type of force. Had they not had a taser, would they have shot him?
I think he was wrong to resist and should have had his ID card, but this just goes too far, IMO.
