"Iranian-American, U.S. CITIZEN and UCLA student, Mostafa Tabatabainejad, was shot by UCLA'S UCPD on November 14th, 2006, because he could not show his Student ID. He was shot 5 times with a taser gun. Police threatened to shoot students who got too close. The Student yelled out that he had a medical condition, but the cops kept shooting."
You know, what pisses me off is not that they tazered him for no ID, but the fact that those asswipes kept telling him to get up, even while they were tazering him over and over again.

Dude everything about that is wrong. Coming from a former law enforcement officer, I can tell you that these guys did everything that constitutes excessive force. He did not incite or resist. They became frustrated with his arrogance which caused this. Even though he probably should have kept his mouth shut, that was no excuse for what the officers did. They had him in custody and could have hog tied him and carried him if he would not get up. This borders the edge of torture and they will see a day in court.

Yea man, I definitly agree with you Steve. In fact I just checked out another video on youtube.com from some news anchor on MSNBC that chose to cover the story. That kid's lawyer seems a little fishy to me. I don't think that "policeman in california are known to be aggressive" is gonna do any good in court for those cops, although I could relate to how it led up to the degree of that situation.
I just had my friend Sonal, who is officer of the American-Iranian Organization here at school cry on my shoulder for about a good 3 minutes straight. Un-fucking-real dude. Just unreal.

And people wonder why I celebrate the death of police officers.

That must explain the insane urge I had to spit on him.
