UCLA Police Taser Student For Not Showing ID
It's easy to bash the police in this incident but we don't really know the full story. Did the police abuse their power? Maybe, probably. But the guy obviously had an agenda and did refuse to show his id, then resisted being escorted out. It's not like the cops just walked in and started tasering an innocent person for the fun of it.
Everytime someone gets tasered, and it's caught on video, the folks at prison planet get an instant hard on. My guess is that in most, but certainly not all, cases the guy(or girl) deserves it. Look at this case, lets break it down:
- Campus officers were conducting a random check of id's, standard policy after 11:00pm
-This guy refuses to show id (mistake #1)
- The guy starts mouthing off about being profiled (mistake #2)
- Police escort him out, fully within their rights to do so.
-The guy resists by falling limp to the floor (mistake #3, the straw that broke the camels back)
-At this point the police have a few choices
1. shoot the fucker- bad publicity
2. Kick the fucker in the head- more bad publicity but would have been
my choice.
3. Wrestle with the guy, also likely to get accused of police brutality and possible getting hurt themselves
4. Taser the piece of shit
Looks like #4 was the best option
