UCLA student tasered by UCPD in campus library

It only takes 2 people to carry a limp person. God knows how many demos I've been on where those numbers have played out.
The cops were just completely out of control on some hard cock power trip.
What surprises me is that the students didn't even try to stop them.
Things have sure changed in the last 10 years. Maybe it's fear? If so, then that's bloody terrifying.

Yeah, a -limp- person. A limp person is someone that won't fight going quietly into that good night, so to speak, and a person shouting at the top of their lungs about an unrelated political agenda - i.e. the Patriot Act - is someone that a police officer would be right in classifying as "probably not going to just go quietly."

Yeah so this guy thinks to himself...
"I need to get tasered multiple times by the police and have some stranger record it so that I can make known my objection to the PATRIOT act. Let's see... how bout if I stay till after dark in a university library and not show my student ID card, that's bound to work!"

And they say the left-wing wear tin hats.

Let's re-frame what you said in a little more plausible language. "Hey, wait. If I trespass onto government property without identification, I can probably get the cops called and make it look like they're fascist American pigs that are just abusing a poor, defenseless Arab." You really think it's implausible that a student "protester" would do something against his physical best interests - lying in traffic, say - in order to communicate a "message", no matter how inane that message may be?

And, for the record, I don't hold that "the left wing" wear hats. Not all of them. Just you.
