28. Honestly, if I were there, I would have done the same thing
My gut tells me "fuck that cop, kick his ass for what he's doing to that student" but those campus cops were threatening to TASER spectators if for doing stuff like asking for their badge numbers an heckling them to stop tasering the student. Also, if the student went after the cops in a mob, the public reaction would probably be more favorable to the cops (why do you think the hippies and student demonstrators of the '60s saw such a backlash?) In this case, the cops look like the bullies that they are.
