Them things is dangerous!

Um, look at the video again. Towards the end you can see his hands come up in front of the camera with the Taser....they're black (or African American, or whatever politically correct term is now in use). Poor girl my ass....she obviously thinks that she's "entitled" and no security guard is going to tell her otherwise. Bad behavior teaching her kids more bad behavior (you did notice the 4-5 little ones around her mouthing off, didn't you?). And before I get flamed for being "racist", this has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with rudeness, bad behavior, and the general attitude that she is "entitled" to do whatever she wants. If a security guard is hassling you, you don't mess with him...you complain to the management in a stern, but courteous way. Politeness has left the building, sadly to say.
+1 to the above, + my own observations:
1) The security guard didn't handle himself in a professional manner and he escalated the situation.
2) The crowd outside was not controlled.
3) The mall environment in that area didn't seem to be controlled.
4) She attacked him, so while it's her fault for her actions and his fault for his own actions (which are only verbal up until this point), as we all know, one cannot escalate a situation and then defend one's self and then claim "self-defense". His use of the Taser could have been avoided if he properly handled himself, her, and the situation.
5) After tasing her, another individual, (whatever his relation to her is, I don't know), came up to the security guard and got in his face. Now the security guard has a bigger threat which also could have been avoided by avoiding all of the above of the current situation through deescalation.
In short, this is a video about a bunch of idiots. There's no injustice here except for the fact that none of them are Darwin Award winners yet, and they fully deserve such an honor.
