This is REALLY disturbing to me...the police overacted way too much. My friends at UCLA are really disturbed by this, as well.
In the video, one of the students requesting an ID number is told that if he doesn't leave he would "get tased too"...
Quote:
During the altercation between Tabatabainejad and the officers, bystanders can be heard in the video repeatedly asking the officers to stop and requesting their names and identification numbers. The video showed one officer responding to a student by threatening that the student would "get Tased too." At this point, the officer was still holding a Taser.
Such a threat of the use of force by a law enforcement officer in response to a request for a badge number is an "illegal assault," Eliasberg said.
