So you have evidence of widespread wrongful arrests and shootings?
Read carefully.... I was talking about shootings and assaults on Officers, not those they arrest. They are en-acting their proceedures of physical reaction to a human instinct to defend. If you chase after someone, or use force to take them down prior to explaining the situation to them, expect confrontation and resistence.

Let's face it, the world is filled with people who "know their rights". Just because you give someone a reason does not in any way mean they'll accept that reason legitimate or not. Looking at this kid, if he was told their reason, and legitimate or not, do you think he would have gone "Well.. ok, officer. I see your point." No he was there with the intention of making a god damn scene.
Yeah and everybody has their limits.... he probably wanted to just cause a scene, but he wasn't planning on starting a riot, or to attack anyone..... he was gonna get on his little soap box and be the centre of attention for a bit..... explaining the situation to him would have most likely stopped it, as while they were trying to tackle him to the ground, he was asking wtf they were doing.

If he was already told why they were using such force on him, he wouldn't be asking now would he?

Physically assaulted? An assault is the threat of battery. There is no threat of battery from being walked out of an auditorium with an arm around yours.
Errr..... what's a Taser? A fluffy bunny? It's a weapon. If you pull out a taser and shoot someone on the street... expect to get charged with assault. It's not assault with a deadly weapon, but it's assault none the less.

Without notice? They were talking to him before they grabbed him. He got an attitude, refused to leave, and then they decided to escort him out.
Remind me not to goto any of your parties where you have "escorts."

It was only two officers at first which is very much standard, and then he started resisting the two and the others went in to help. And what in the fuck is "proper notice"?
Interupting him in a louder tone then his and explain what is about to happen if he didn't shut up and walk away. Pretty simple and would have avoided a physical confrontation.

Running the show? Kerry doesn't own the university. Get real.
Get real? We're the police forces there on the University's request or Kerry's?

And the "Show" was about him..... one would think he'd have some authority as to what went on.... also... you know.... being a Senitor and all.
