UCLA Officers Use Taser on ID-less Student

[Alex]

Not that it makes it ok in this incident, but someday I'd like to get tased just to know what it feels like.

Seriously.

AH, you live near UCLA?

Hey, I've seen news reporters getting tazed for a story. Maybe contact your local Police Academy and see if you can volunteer!!

In actuality I'd rather have the idiot who was smug enough to NOT show his ID or leave when he was asked to, to comply like everyone else is expected to. When will that end? You get pulled over and the cops ask for your Drivers Licences and you refuse? If I was the Cop or SEcurity Guard I'd rather have the guy dropped, then either someone killed, shot or if the person has other motives, myself blown up. So in a perfect world all would be well.

That said, I'm not excusing the % of the cops that do this for sport or unjustified. From what I read, I'd rather have the guy tazed, take outside, rather than anything the guy "Might" have been doing in a closed area. What if this had been an area of an airport? Or a library at the local Jr.High.

I"M not excusing the problem, just simply saying it's a bit broader than just some moron not "showing his ID."

Even IF he was a threat, why did they keep tasing him AFTER they handcuffed him and knocked him onto the floor. He was screaming in agony, pleading for them to stop, saying he would leave and comply with them. And they tasered him. Over. And over. And over.

They had no reason to do that. None at all.

Well, since neither of us are "Them" we can really say. We weren't there, that's what the investigation is all about. I haven't read a updated report in the last few hours and I haven't seen it mentioned that he was handcuffed and then zapped. Sure, if he's down and not struggling, yeah, that's 100% not cool. But, if he refused to move, or provide ID or/and tried to insight the rest of the people in the library to join him, then I'd say zap the guy. That's the story I've read.

Seriously.

A friend of a friend met up with a prostitute in a foriegn country and asked to try some thing different. At the moment of climax, she applied jumper cables attatched to a car battery, to our aquaintenses testicles. He chalked this up as easily one of the best sexual experiences he had ever had. Sorry, I felt I had to share.

I don't think you need a full investigation to say that someone pleading for mercy while getting electrocuted numerous times by the police isn't right.

If you watch the video, you hear him say how this is an abuse of power. That's it. Since when does the government have the right to electrocute you for speaking out against it as you are being arrested?

Regardless of anything, they should not have tasered him when he said he had a medical condition. They should have either physically subdued him or, if he was life-threating, use lethal force.

I wonder if wearing PVC clothing subverts the effectiveness of taser shocks?
