UCLA student gets tasered multiple times in the library

This all started when the student could not produce proper ID for the library. I’ll write more later. I’m in class. For now, I’ll just say that the video is quite shocking (no pun intended), and that this is quite some extreme force used by the police officers.

Something is very wrong here. And it looks like the MSM is picking up on this story.

Here’s a very short statement from UCLA Chancellor.

I’ll fix and formulate this entry later.

Yeah, well lets take it chronologically from the tiny bit of info i can get from the articles…

THe student, was singled out, whether it was racial profiling or not, is one issue.

He couldnt not produce ID, and said he would leave, and beings to walk out

UCPD grabs him while he is walking out, and this action angers him, this i can let slide for UCPD

His reaction was to get engraged to the point where he refused to comply to authority. He is at fault for this…

they taser him, and provokes him further…this was a bad call. brute force of dragging him out would’ve been fine, or even letting go and letting him walk out on his own. i’d fault them at this point for the first tasering

everything goes downhill from there and the UCPD goes way overboard. the easy points are each of the following taserings, inclduing the one after he was handcuffed, as well as the threat to the student who asked for their badge numbers.

bad moves UCPD…..

It’s crazy how the police abuse their power. How can he stand up after he’s been tazed like 3 times already? And the student said he was going to walk out. You should put something on your website where we can write into something like that. That is ABUSE. That needs to be taken seriously and the cops need to be fined quite harsh. Pigs…….
