It all started when he refused to show his ID. They then grabbed him as he was leaving. He said don't touch me - resulting in the first zap.
He fell, and then they asked him to get up. He could not get up, so they tased him again. This was repeated a total of 5 times.

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. [...]
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. http://dailybruin.ucla.edu/news/articles.asp?id=38958
Does anyone even care anymore? Look at how awful authority treats us in 2006. This is an extraordinary abuse of power. I can't even express outrage, it's just... too much..

That will NEVER happen as you can see, you can't beat Big brother. People like you will disappear before you can do any significant damage. Most people are ing stupid and fail to see how bad things are.
While this is an outrageous abuse of power, everyone is going to take it lightly and forget.

i dont know because we don't really have university police over here...but what powers do they actually have? I mean...if i was in that crowd of students, i would have in rushed those police.
If i (or anyone for that matter) had just been tazed, i'm sure it would take me atleast 3 or 4 minutes to be able to get up and walk... Not 30 seconds.
Is UCLA looking into the officers (if u call them that) that did this?
Makes me sick.

Sadly, most Americans in 2006 will say it's his own fault for being belligerent and not showing his ID quick enough, especially since he's an arab.
If you don't believe me, check out one of the lastest Anderson Cooper 360 blogs about Cyrus Kar, an American citizen and former Navy SEAL, who was captured by Americans in Iraq while shooting a movie on Cyrus the Great. He was in a cab where they found washing machine timers (which are used for IEDs apparently), but the driver confessed to owning the timers, not Kar. More than half of the 70 people who have responded so far think it's his own fault for being captured, held and tortured for 55 day, because he was in Iraq and is of Arab descent. Truly sickening.
