UCLA cops taser a student

All I can say is that I could only watch that video until the second taser hit - I had to turn it off it made me so upset.

Hell, I couldn't even finish my lunch.

I don't think it was warranted, he was leaving (yes, maybe a few mins after being asked/told to leave by the first person, sometimes it takes a bit tp pack up your things when you have been studying), and was unable to once he was tased - so they kept tasing him.

Ugh.

Amusingly enough, about five sentences before making his petty jab, he misspelled the word "threat".

I <3 irony

5 TIMES... They must be joking!

And yeah, I think it's absolutely significant that this kid was Iranian.

That's all I've got.

Yeah, I'm probably going to postpone that holiday to then States by a couple of decades, let me know how this thing pans out.

Hilarious that the very cop who (at least in part) got UCLA to invest in tasers is now the same cop who is abusing them. The guy has a history of this shit. Lock him the fuck up.

Just don't take your holiday to LA. I mean, people hardly ever get tasered in Vermont, for example...

worth a thousand words right?

i'm still baffled as to why they didn't just pick him up and carry him out to a cop car.

Just two photos with no stories? They look like two completely different situations. One is two guys, out of uniform, the other is a complete riot squad.

Not meant to be a scientific study. Nor even a solid example. Just pointing out that when you hit a guy witha stun gun, he tends to be pretty stunned, and not necessarily able to step-to. Rather than tazer the guy repeatedly for not standing up, they ought to have dragged him out of the building. The top one is me gettig dragged out of the administrative building at Cornell University after participating in a sit in. The cops were really nice, even though we were non-compliant and made them drag us out. The second, a guy tazered outside a rally for the afl-cio. Really, just the first picture that came up when I googled "tazered." Forgive the lack of complete sentances, please.
