Cops tazes UCLA student 5-6 times

for everyone who doesnt understand, telling an officer to fuck off is illegal and a form of assault. That guy was out of control and he got tazed because he wouldnt calm down, listen, shut the fuck up, and do what he should have done.

Besides the video only shows the kid getting tazed, it doesnt show him probably resisting the cops before he got tazed.
 
Pretty much everyone defending the officers doesn't know what actually happened. No, they didn't ask him for ID. The library guys asked him for ID. He didn't have it and wouldn't leave, so they went and got the security guys, at which point he TRIED to leave (read: cooperated) and they tased him repeatedly as he shouted about abuse of power and other students tried to get them to stop. He didn't fuck with the cops or disobey them, what command could they have given him other than "leave", which he was already doing? Oh right... stand up, after we've just send a bunch of incapacitating electricity through your body three or four times. Oh you can't? Well, I know how to solve that, we'll tase you again.

I guarantee those two are fired by now. I will be surprised if they aren't put on trial.
 
thats total bullshit you can say whatever the fuck you want to a cop. it may not help your situstion but its def not illegal
 
You have to be kidding me. He was out of control? Yea give me a fucking break. Okay he should have calmly explained to the police his situation, but when two cops are grilling you with qeusitons and grabbing your arm, you get a little tense. "probably resisting the cops". Bullshit. He was not. You just pulled that our of your ass. He did not deserve this. I would understand if the police cuffed him, but tazed him? You can't be serious. Tazers hurt so fucking bad its unbelievable. I probably wouldn't have been able to move, or even if i could i would have been too stunned to move. This is an OBVIOUS example of WAY to much force, and these officers should get shit for this. Normally I'm on the side of police, but this is just way way too much
 
trespassing, no id, so he can't prove he has permission to be there at that time(ie prove being a student of ucla)

same deal at my library, from 10-30pm-2am, you need to have student identification to be there
 
Okay, first, telling a cop to fuck off isn't assault. Threatening him is assault. Threatening anyone is assault. Like threatening to tase them if they keep asking for your badge number. Oh...

PS - These guys weren't "cops". They were campus security. Get it straight. Half of you haven't got a fucking clue what you're talking about.
 
thank you.

and fuck those police. that was not right. he was not asking for it, he was fucking leaving. if that happened to me, shit would fly. id make sure that cop never had a job outside of cleaning toilets ever again. sorry, but unnecessary use of force is never ok and that was a serious breach of that guys rights.
 
students in the library will sue as well if the police are found to have used excessive force because that would have been pretty traumatizing.
 
right. you told me what laws he was in violation of. thanks! now answer my other question. You think "tresspassing, no ID, so he can't prove he has permission to be there at that time" is a serious enough offense to requie a tasering?
 
The secruity guys that were there were UCPD, of which I believe are a section of California State Police.

Regardless, I'm excited to see the lawsuits that come from this.
 
so next time a cop asks for your name or anything, just dont say anything or give them a fake name, cause there really not aloud to ask you that
 
if you dont show ID they can escort you from the library, read the article, it sasy that the library is restricted to students after 11, so they could escort him if he couldnt show an ID, but all of the tazing was not needed
 
The guy was in handcuffs. Tazers are supposed to be used to 'subdue' criminals. The guy was clearly subdued, and if you disagree, then I guess we need to stop using handcuffs, since they clearly don't work. The tazer-ing was totally unnecessary, the cops were clearly either trying to make an example (of why you should have ID in the library after hours?) or were just abusing their authority.
 
i wouldnt call the school newspaper the best source in the world, i know how opinionated and biased they are. Funny as shit though to read (paper, not the situation)
 
i don't know what was funnier, the kid getting tased or the hippy liberal ucla kids demanding their badge numbers.

i don't have any sympathy for the kid. he could have made it a lot easier on himself if he got up and walked with the security in stead of pulling a rosa parks.
