UCLA Taser Video

At around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Tabatabainejad, a fourth-year Middle Eastern and North African studies and philosophy student, was asked to leave the library for failing to present his BruinCard during a random check. The 23-year-old student was hit with a Taser five times when he did not leave quickly and cooperatively upon being asked to do so.' In a story which has raised concerns of racial profiling, police brutality and the health risks of taser use, the ubiquity of video cell phone technology has given us a first hand record of an incident which might otherwise have been a he-said, she-said affair.

He sounds fine to me when he talks so he's on something. Lay off the drugs Mustafa.

showing how corrupt everything really is...discusting

When does a thinking mind ever prevail? The officers could have asked him to sign into any one of the computers in the library. If he could sigh in, then he's a student...no need for the blatant piggery.

Hahaha, I love how pissed all those liberal douches were. Nice job officers!

Sorry 6bill6 it will happen to you, matter of fact complying will make them do it more. Cops are psycopaths these days, then will you truly see why people do not comply.;

[vidvidvidvidvid]

the problem is not he doesn't have an ID, the problem is he doesn't have one and he refuses to leave, he openly violate the safety policy and therefore posts a threat to other people.

u seem very willing to give up your freedom

Ok, so considering the number of school massacres there have been, when a man who refuses to identify himself and refuses to leave is causing a scene, what would you want the police to do? Me? I'd tell them to taze the dumb fucker. He has no right to be a dick and put me at risk. While he's causing a scene, and distracting the police, a real madman could be hurting people elsewhere. Typical student mob mentality "the system is out to get us for no reason" bullcrap.
