>""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. "

Being that he is a Californian college grad still hanging around campus, I assume beheading American aid workers is fine with him through.

[MindBender26]

..... is fine with him.

The CSOs left, returning minutes later, and police officers arrived to escort the student out. By this time 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.

If he was leaving then they should have just let him go, sounds like petty tyrants at work here.

So how do you like that, Sparky?

Too bad they don't make a room-sized Taser to clear out some of the "I want your badge number" future welfare recipients.

Officer Tackleberry on the job!

I sort of agree. The part that really suggested that was, here's a guy you shot with a taser on the floor, the cops want him to stand, and when he doesn't, they taser him again. But I'm sure that the general tenor of this thread will be like the poster of this article editorialized "he's a california college kid, therefore he's a communist." Yawn.

Sorry, but if I'm walking and anyone, badge or not, grabs me by the arm, they better make sure that they don't end up with that taser in a very uncomfortable spot.

Battery is battery, badge or not.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Fry 'em all.

The kid obviously was anti-authoritarian. I lost track of how many times they tased him - did it never occur to the cops that he might not be able to stand and walk?

I agree, however the student had time to turn on the camera on his video phone. something smells fishy here. seems like once again we are getting half of a story

[L98Fiero]

Well maybe the cops should have baked him a plate of muffins and set them outside the library. They probably didn't say "pretty please" enough times either.

Cop-hating Freepers crack me up.

Let's see, they asked him to leave and when they returned he was in the process of leaving so they grabbed him by the arm and he resisted. From the article, it sounds like cause and effect.

I'm glad you're so easily entertained (that was sarcasm, in case you're easily confused too).

[PissAndVinegar]

I don't think it was the the Taz-ee's phone that was being used. It says 'a student's' not 'the student's'.

If I wanted to record something I was a bystander to - it would take 15-20 seconds from 'holster' to recording. However I'm not one of those people who feel they need to record every little thing. As seen on youtube for instance.. :)

[joe fonebone]

you are correct....my bad....still it appears that something is missing from this article

[jiggyboy]

They probably didn't say "pretty please" enough times either.

I'll assume you're ignoring that the stated use for the Taser is for when you really want to shoot to kill but don't want to actually kill him? A college student on the ground doesn't quite qualify.

[dmz]

I knew of few college students in my day, the mid to late 70's, who were not anti authoritarian. It seems like a right of passage.

But you know, you find the absolute worst kinds of people hanging out reading libraries. /sarc

You ever hear of graduate students genius? How do you think people get PHD's?

LOL. Step off the deep end much? There is no cop hating post on the thread at all. A few of us have questioned the actions, thinking that perhaps the response was disproportionate.

"I agree, however the student had time to turn on the camera on his video phone."

You need to work on your reading comprehension skills. The camera phone video was from another student, not the one attacked by campus police.
