WTF? From the Daily Bruin:
[T]the student had begun to walk toward the door with his backpack when an officer approached him and grabbed his arm, at which point the student told the officer to let him go. A second officer then approached the student as well.
The student began to yell “get off me,” repeating himself several times.
It was at this point that the officers shot the student with a Taser for the first time, causing him to fall to the floor and cry out in pain. The student also told the officers he had a medical condition.
[...]
As the student was screaming, UCPD officers repeatedly told him to stand up and said “stop fighting us.” The student did not stand up as the officers requested and they shot him with the Taser at least once more.
“It was the most disgusting and vile act I had ever seen in my life,” said David Remesnitsky, a 2006 UCLA alumnus who witnessed the incident.
As the student and the officers were struggling, bystanders repeatedly asked the police officers to stop, and at one point officers told the gathered crowd to stand back and threatened to use a Taser on anyone who got too close.
totally unbelievable,
That fat ass security guard need’s a good man sized ass whippin and absolutly should be fired immediatly . that is totally abusive behavior and a frikin nobody wannabe trying to show power that he does not posses. people like that give’s law enforcement a bad rapp. BUT THIS IDIOT NEED’S SOME JAIL TIME .
I would like to know if these guards were charged or not. If not they should be fired and never work in the field again. As of the last comment, I don’t think the student should receive any “jail time” as he did nothing wrong.
