Official Story

try watching that, it's disturbing........;3;.
Official Story:
excerps from story
An incident late Tuesday night in which a UCLA student was stunned at least four times with a Taser has left the UCLA community questioning whether the university police officers' use of force was an appropriate response to the situation.

Tabatabainejad was walking with his backpack toward the door when he was approached by two UCPD officers, one of whom grabbed the student's arm. In response, Tabatabainejad yelled at the officers to "get off me." Following this demand, Tabatabainejad was stunned with a Taser.

Mostafa Tabatabainejad, a UCLA student, was repeatedly stunned with a Taser and then taken into custody when he did not exit the CLICC Lab in Powell Library in a timely manner. Community Service Officers had asked Tabatabainejad to leave after he failed to produce his BruinCard during a random check at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.

UCPD Assistant Chief of Police Jeff Young said the checks are a standard procedure in the library after 11 p.m.


He was also stunned while he was handcuffed and CLEARLY not fighting.
Altercate
Abuse Of authority
Warning: Do not post irrelevant "i dont click links" crap, cause that is considered spamming. smile
ADDED:
Why didnt he just stand up and leave?:A charge of three to five seconds can result in immobilization for five to 15 minutes, which would mean that Tabatabainejad could have been physically unable to stand when the officers demanded that he do so.
Also Tabatabainejad had vocally stated that he would stop fighting and leave once he was able to move.
Officers shocked him again.


Personally, I was just shocked. I mean, the guy didn't even fight back, and they still tazered his a**, even after they put him in handcuffs. I wasn't there, so I can't say if it was justified, or not, but still...

What would scare me even more if this was inspired purely based on his nationality as well. It may be purely an assumption, but he could have been mistaken as an Arab (unless he is) and the University Police (UP) might have been further motivated to grill the guy. It absolutely frightens me that it was "necessary" for those officers to taser him so much, ESPECIALLY when he was offering no resistance. And I would believe it is quite clear if the guy cannot stand up. I understand that that is part of the UP's job, but they needn't have gone to such extremes and I would understand why so many would see it as an abuse of power.

What got me the most was the one officer telling another guy asking for the badge number that he would taser him. That's what got me thinking about this being a further motivated hate crime of sorts.
