UCLA Police brutality against innocent student

[drhladnjak]

Sure, the guy was being uncooperative and an ass to the police, but I still don't see why that justifies tazing.

I get a kick out of the people who are trying to find some justification or defense for what the policemen did.

Especailly since it really just drives home that there IS no defense.

 

[pancake]

while i agree he should have co operated more....

why the fuck didnt they just handcuff him and carry him outside...

no reason to tazer somebody over and over

what if he had a medical condition or a pace maker? He could have died , or been severely injured

makes me sick.

Don't beleive everything you see in the media, I can tell you from experience that things aren't always as they seem. But people are always out there looking for the worst;.

Do you really think that campus police go around tazering students for no good reason mate

Does the UCLA campus have a history of police brutality? If not, why try to make more of an isolated incident than it is?

Obviously, the police overreacted and need to be dealt with. But, although it doesn't justify what happened, it sounds like the guy was also in the wrong.

From what I've heard so far, he's more a jackass than a Rosa Parks.

From what I'm hearing from the students who were there, the cops - big surprise - are lying in their report.

He was leaving, they, grabbed him, he said "Get your hands off me".

He was obvisuly leaving, he had his back pack and books with him.

they kept screaming "get up get up" and tasering him again and again even though as many have pointed out, he would not have been ABLE to get up, especially with his hands cuffed behind his back.

Any attempt to defend these cops is out of line.. there's no defense for what they did, I hope they lose everything.

My point was that I didn't think the UCLA campus did have a history of police abuse.

But, self-evidently, the police overreacted in this instance. Mouthing off to a cop doesn't give him the right to assault you.

The guy may have criminal charges to deal with, but my guess is that he'll end up with a healthy financial settlement.

At UC campuses, there is no campus security per se. It's all handled by UCPD who are actually state police with all the powers that entails. CSO are students working part time on an hourly basis for the police department. They wear uniforms very similar to the police, but aren't actual officers and consequently don't carry weapons or have any police powers.

Police are arseholes.. Nuff said.
Tell me something I didn't already know!!

Glad we don't have that kind of weaponary here.. Well, if we do, I've never seen it be used!

The Police do absolutely no use here (and I can assure you that, from my previous unfourtunate experience)..

Then what's the point of CSO, what are they just there to look intimidating.
