UCLA Student Tasered, another perspective.
Unbeleivable
He was argumentitive from the get go, didn’t follow directions. Seems like he merely wanted to make a staged “statement” more than anything.
Sick.
Use some fancy words in that environment & suddenly your a martyr.
How could this have been avoided? Hrm.
1. Have your ID when & where it’s required.
2. When asked to leave because of lack of ID, leave BEFORE it escalates to Police coming in.
3. Don’t argue, do as you’re asked by Police. Protesting when not appropriate only escalates.
4. Don’t argue, do as asked by Police. Get up. Protesting when not appropriate only escalates.
5. Don’t argue, do as asked by Police. Get up. Protesting when not appropriate only escalates.
6. Don’t argue, do as asked by Police. Get up. Protesting when not appropriate only escalates.
7. Don’t argue, do as asked by Police. Get up. Protesting when not appropriate only escalates.

This makes me long for the days before tasers. Back in the days before tasers, if you wanted to make a point by provoking law enforcement you had to be ready to accept the possibility of a clubbing or worse. The advent of tasers provides individuals who are dedicated enough the opportunity to misbehave without fear of broken bones or gun-shot wounds. And mores the shame.
