14. I'm not sure I understand your comparison

What does a GOP rally have to do with this?

I did not say the taser did not hurt. What I am saying is that by fighting physically with the campus police - which Myer did - he allowed the situation to escalate. Myer is a big guy. You can see that if you watch the video. The campus police took him down and he continue to flail. Call me kooky but I see no reason why a security officer should have to risk bodily harm because some lout ignores one of the most basic rules of Civil Disobedience - GO LIMP. Would you rather they beat him with clubs?
