134. The student and other witnesses disagree with your statement of facts.
The student's lawyer says that the white males in the vicinity were NOT asked for their ID.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the first Tasing may have been justified. You acknowledge that the effects of a Tasing may last for 5 minutes. How do you justify his having been repeatedly Tased, even after the handcuffs were on? How do you justify 4 additional Tasings, each of which locked up his muscles in the affected area (legs and buttocks) and made it harder and harder to carry out their orders to stand up? How do you justify 4 additional Tasings despite his saying "I can't" (stand up), and "I'll leave" and "I'm NOT fighting you" and informing them that he had a medical condition?
