Westwood High School Student Tasered

I read in the Austin American Statesman that A Westwood High School student was arrested Tuesday after being Tasered when he charged at the school's principal, Williamson County officials said. This article obviously easily caught my eye due to my curosity about a student being tasered. Now exactly what did this student do to get tasered and arrested in the first place? Well it all starts with an arguement.

A student named Sherman Merritt, 18, got into an argument with his teacher about 10:45 a.m., the teacher then told Merritt to go to the principal's office. The Student got into an argument with the principal and results to Merritt leaving campus. Deputy Deanna Lugo, the school's resource officer, and the principal went to look for Merritt. They found him near the intersection of Missel Thrush Drive and Millwright Parkway, where Merritt elbowed Lugo in the face. Merritt then charged at the principal and Lugo Tasered the student. Merritt was charged with assault on a police officer.

Several questions pop up like, is it right? Or was it necessary? Or even what was he thinking? Some may argue, but I think it was necessary to stop the student from doing anything worse because it could have led to an even worse charge than the already assault on a police officer charge. Some people have bad days, I guess he really woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
