From your responses, it is clear that you are either unfamiliar with the protest culture, or so far into it that you see things completely from their point of view. The point of protest culture is to provoke the authorities as far as possible to get attention to your (spastic) viewpoint. The idea that he wasn't ready for the confrontation is absurd just by watching the tape, and is further turned to sillyness by the relevation that he was 1)planning on taping this and 2) a much different person off camera.
Plus Kerry did try to deescalate the situation by answering his question, the student can clearly be heard talking over his attempt to answer. There is not going to be any removing him quietly.
A dislocated shoulder can tear a bunch of ligaments leading to a lifetime of pain. Trust me on this one, I'd trade 10 seconds of pain for a torn rotator or labrum any day of the week and twice on sunday. Death is exceptionally unlikely to happen with 1-2 tasings of a healthy young adult. I'd say you are as likely to die under anesthetic during your shoulder operation.
