Also, it seems like the cops allowed him to speak for awhile. Did you notice that? But once the "Skull & Bones" thing came up, they clearly started to intervene. If he was taken out because he interrupted the forum, then they would have told him right away.
He wasn't interrupting, per say. He had a right to ask questions. But once he began his breathless rant, the event coordinator sent security after him to take him outside. At first they weren't excessive at all. Did you watch the video? From the start this kid was resisting the escort out of the building. That got him arrested, which he also resisted. Then he was warned that he was going to be tasered if he didn't let them cuff him. Did he stop squirming? Nope. He wasn't ever cooperative with the police. What are they supposed to do? Baby him out the door? This isn't kindergarten or time out. This is real life. You can't wrestle your way away from a cop, or you'll get tasered.

edit: also, if you haven't seen a good video of his unreasonable rant, check this: YouTube - UF Student Tased by Univ of Florida Police
