For some reason, the kid couldn't say, "I can't get up," but he sure could say, "fvck you." Hmmm, weird.
hahahaha. sweet response.
let me guess, you are fine with the government invading your privacy because "you have nothing to hide."

He was supposedly calling for others to help him in resisting and they started surrounding the cops. I'm sure the cops told them to sit the hell the hell down or back up and they probably didn't.
Also, as for why they grabbed his arm, well, he was asked to leave and didn't leave. He also wasn't authorized to be accessing the Internet at this public station. I think it's well within the cops right and might even be their responsibility to at least ask for some identification and see if the guy has outstanding warrants or is on some kind of watch list at which time they can see what he was doing on the computer.
Seriously, you guys all sound like pissy little teenagers angry at your mommies for not letting you go stand out in line for a PS3 tonight and taking it out on all authority.
With regard to rioting, I think that a single taser + handcuffs would have been a lot cleaner. Having hundreds of students watch you taze the shite out of another student does not help, as the emotional impact of agony is MUCH greater than the incoherent yells of a student being dragged off in cuffs. People see people cuffed all the time, that is no big deal. People do not see other people yelling like their being tortured every day ... and that makes people agitated and thus more likely to turn into a mob.
P and N is about Politics and News. Why should I take "personal shiat" there? This seems like most immature forum on the website so its pretty appropriate.
Anyways back to the original topic these cops are going to be in a lot of trouble, if the student in question actually brings charges against 'em.
Mostafa =/= Jewish
lol wtf does this have to do with patriot act? it seems like the daily bruin article is a bit biased.
QFT.
I agree the guy should have been arrested. I don't agree with the methods used to get compliance.
personal attacks. Don't belong anywhere around here.
edit: just cause you feel the need to insult someone you will never meet over the internet...
what does that have to do with anything? wait, don't tell me. HERE'S YOUR PATRIOT ACT! DOWN WITH THE FACIST GOVERNMENT!
lol kids.

Those cops should be fired and stripped of all benefits. The guy was not a threat to anyone, especially when they tasered him the first time. He didn't attack them or threaten them. There could have been all sorts of reasons why he couldn't get up. They should have called for medical care, not taser him again for not getting up. Plus to threaten to taser someone for simply asking for their badge number it is clear that these guys are on a power trip, and not in control of themselves.
If it wasn't for their unions, we wouldn't even have to waste time on them. But of course these cops are going to lie inspite of there being clear video evidence of abuse of power.

two things -
first, stop the fvcking name calling. this is an interesting thread and lets keep it from degenerating.
second, i'm not defending the actions of the student. i think he was an idiot to cause a scene over not having an ID. HOWEVER, from what appear to be the facts of this case, the officers were NOT reasonable in their response to the student's actions (or lack thereof). if it was later determined, which i HIGHLY doubt, that the student attempted to go for something on the officers' belts, then the use of a tazer would be justified. the article posted by scubasteve in an earlier post is great; ask yourself, would an objectively reasonable officer have done the same thing in this situation? if you say yes, i think it would be a disgrace to the many fine police officers in this country.

Reading Comprehension is a problem?
Why should I take this to P and N.
They seem to be discussing global issues not personal attacks.
Dude your government went down in the last election I voted in bro.
Apparently the "kids" are right.

lol...thank God it was black and asian officers...if they were white this would be all over MSM.
This incident seems to be very controversial.
I agree with the cops being able to use the tazer if someone doesnt comply, but were the extra tases necessary?
3+ Cops werent able to carry a tazed handcuffed college student out of the library?
After someone has been tazed and handcuffed, the situation should be under control. The cops saying "stand up or you'll be tazed" sounded like an abuse of power. Their main objective is to have the situation under control.
I would think a student not standing up would be the least of the 3 Cops problems.

That comment fosters racism. You don't know if they wouldn't have tasered him. It looked to me like there were at least two "minority" cops in that video. If the cops were racist they sure would have tasered a white kid.
