There are way to many things wrong with this scenario. He didn't ask a simple question, he had pages of notes in his hand. He refused to give the microphone up when asked, even when it was turned off. The cops (7?) were already near him when he got to the microphone. They took him out through the middle of the crowd. They stopped inside the room to handcuff and zap him in front of the cameras and crowd. If he was really zapped it shouda left him very docile and quiet man as he recovered, not a screaming idiot. As the article pointed out he was a different person off camera.

I would have zapped him first to shut him up, sounded like a tree hugging seal lover to me.

The cops could have handled the situation with a little more finesse but the guy is an %$%$%$%$%$%$%$. The sad part is that every politician who speaks at some public fourm has to run the risk of some butthead who wants his 15 minutes or worse. Being a democracy there is not much we can do about it.
It would be interesting to know why they were so focused on him before and during his rant. Did he have a reputation on campus? Was he acting strange in the room prior to asking his question?

Shoulda zapped him just for being a dumb ass. He resisted when the cops confronted him. They had right to zap him.
