UCLA Police Taser Student:
Over at Consumating, I found this discussion of an incident at UCLA where a student was tasers for refusing to leave the library after refusing to show ID to campus cops. The Fark thread on the incident is just plain scary.
I posted about this sort of thing before so you know where I’m coming from. I’m getting damn tired of living in a country where any abuse of power can be justified in the name of our safety. If we have to taser 23 year-olds for public misbehavior then the terrorists, whomever they are, have already won.

It is very clear that the comments on Fark come from people who have not stepped on a campus in years. This is the third incendent at UCLA and the FBI have been looking into the miss abuse of campus police. No person should ever be assulted for not producing I.D. I did anyone even watch the video? How can that be o.k. in America?
