128. I saw it that way too
The student said he had three questions and asked three ( and made three short emotional speeches). Kerry was starting to answer and indicated to the cops that everything was OK. Then cops started escorting student out.

From there up to the tasering I blame the student. He was clearly pushing the cops away from him, screaming, and in one video I saw the student throw a couple of wild swings the cops' way.

It was possible for the cops to let the student go and hope that he'd calm down and take his seat. That's not something cops ever do. To get the student under control they had to wrestle him to the floor and cuff him.

I don't think the cops had to taser the student but if they hadn't he would have resisted all the way to the police station.

I don't see anything unusual past the unnecessary escort out. Cops always handle resistance the same way.
