I was on another forum reading a discussion about this. A couple of posters were actually there. One is a student worker at the library. It went something like this:
1) After 11 PM or whatever time, it's required that you show ID. The campus rent-a-cops go around asking random students to show student ID. This happens every night.
2) This guy has been acting weird, according to one of the forumers I mentioned. Like he's on something. He's being a bit loud for a good while beforehand.
3) Rent-a-cop sees this weirdo and asks for ID. He refuses. Rent-a-cop asks again. Weirdo refuses again. This goes on for like, 20 minutes. Real cops are called.
4) Weirdo finally decides to leave right as cops arrive. Or maybe he decides to leave only when he sees them arrive. This part wasn't clear.
5) As the guy is walking out, a cop grabs him by the arm. This may be unnecessary for getting him out, true enough. The cops probably should have walked out with him and then given him a good talking-to, if for no other reason than to do this outside the quiet library. Actually, they were within their rights to haul him off to jail for creating a disturbance or trespassing; but it would have been smarter to do it outside.
6) Guy resists. "Get your hands OFF ME"
7) Police use tazer, which is what you do when someone physically resists.
8) Guy goes down in pain, throwing a tantrum. Cops may or may not have cuffed him at this point, it's unclear. If they didn't they should have. So far, the police have only shown a little bad judgement in not doing this outside.
9) This is where the controversy really begins. Cops keep telling him to get up, and tazer him for not getting up. I've heard some people say that being tazered may or may not leave you stunned, depending on the intensity and duration, so maybe he couldn't. Either way, you'd think they could have just cuffed him and hauled his scrawny ass outside, there were at least two cops.
