My dad would sue the hell out of the school if some guy, who had no student ID because he was actually Ted Bundy, came into the library where I was studying one night and murdered me. Was this kid a serial killer? No. But those rules are there for a reason. He refused to abide by the rules, so he had to be forcibly removed. If I were a cop, I'd prefer to taze him than to have to exchange blows with him in a fistfight and risk him getting close enough to grab my gun.
Some people get so caught up in protecting one person's rights that they forget that the rest of us have rights, too. I have the right to go study in the library late at night, secure in the knowledge that only other students with valid IDs can be in there with me. The bottom line is that he didn't have the right to be there without his ID, and he necessitated the involvement of the police by refusing to leave. I'm a big fan of people getting what they deserve, and I can't say I object to this.
