I don't know about you guys but when a cop tells you to do something you should do it. this guy deserved what he got. you can clearly hear them telling him to stand up stand up stand up or you'll get tazed again and him saying "f you" etc.

>UCPD officers shot a student several times with a Taser inside the Powell Library CLICC computer lab late Tuesday night before taking him into custody.

No university police officers were available to comment further about the incident as of 3 a.m. Wednesday, and no Community Service Officers who were on duty at the time could be reached.

At around 11:30 p.m., CSOs asked a male student using a computer in the back of the room to leave when he was unable to produce a BruinCard during a random check. The student did not exit the building immediately.

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.

The student began to yell "get off me," repeating himself several times.

It was at this point that the officers shot the student with a Taser for the first time, causing him to fall to the floor and cry out in pain. The student also told the officers he had a medical condition.

UCPD officers confirmed that the man involved in the incident was a student, but did not give a name or any additional information about his identity.

Video shot from a student's camera phone captured the student yelling, "Here's your Patriot Act, here's your ****ing abuse of power," while he struggled with the officers.

As the student was screaming, UCPD officers repeatedly told him to stand up and said "stop fighting us." The student did not stand up as the officers requested and they shot him with the Taser at least once more.

"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.

As the student and the officers were struggling, bystanders repeatedly asked the police officers to stop, and at one point officers told the gathered crowd to stand back and threatened to use a Taser on anyone who got too close.

Laila Gordy, a fourth-year economics student who was present in the library during the incident, said police officers threatened to shoot her with a Taser when she asked an officer for his name and his badge number.

Gordy was visibly upset by the incident and said other students were also disturbed.

"It's a shock that something like this can happen at UCLA," she said. "It was unnecessary what they did."

Immediately after the incident, several students began to contact local news outlets, informing them of the incident, and Remesnitsky wrote an e-mail to Interim Chancellor Norman Abrams.

YES! thank you! I totally agree, if you don't respond to police orders you deserve to be tased, he was acting like an idiot and fully deserved what he got.

Absolutely not. 2 men can easily carry that guy out or drag him out. You do NOT deserve to be harmed if you are not exhibiting any form of a threat or violence. He was not resisting he was not threatening. This was excessive force.

i heard that getting tased was as painful as getting kicked in the balls... and that it takes 5-15min to recover from a tase depending on voltage?

and i dunno... being treated like that by the cops... i would think most people would start to act like an ass too...

This has nothing to do with foreign police. I dont care what they do in foreign countries. And you show me where he's "clearly resisting." Do you mean where he's on the ground after being tazed or him being limp?

i never said it did. i just said people like you should play around with the foreign police before you complain about what brutes ours are.

>yeah, but we aren't foreign country. i understand what you're saying, and it's a decent comparison. however, as citizens, we're granted certain constitutional rights. some of these foreign countries you speak of (russia, etc) don't have the same rights we supposedly do.

if this happened to you, you'd be screaming for blood. think about it.

you're at your friends house
cop walks in, demands ID's from everyone, you left yours in the car.
you decide to leave, cop tazers you four times, even after you're on the ground screaming.

it's a pretty ****ed up situation, no matter what country you're in.

Rent-a-cop campus police abusing their power. GTFO.

My friend owns a police issue tazer. There is hardly anything to do in Nebraska, so naturally bordem sets in pretty hard. You figure it out. Moral of story? After being shocked a similar amount of time in the side i was able to stand right back up immediately afterwards.
