Jon Stewart summed it up nicely: "An unfortunate combination of police over-reaction and what appears to be student douchebag-ery."

After hearing some comments from my friends and input from my far better half, I think Stewart pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Maybe this should be tagged "Campus Cops Gone Wild".

It just amazes me that this can happen in our country. The crime for which this student was initially arrested/detained was exceeding his time allotment at the microphone. Why the cops were trying to arrest him was baffling by itself. But then they use a taser while he is subdued on the ground???
