When I was in school I always carried my student ID. For a long time after, also ... discount movie ticket prices are nothing to sneeze at.

I'm not condoning what the cops did. I'm just sayin' that *I* would not have gotten tased because *I* would have left the first time. There's always time later to address the cops. If my project is late, it's because *I* fucked up and didn't have my ID.

And he didn't get attacked the first time. He got attacked on his way out.

actually i think he was "confronted" on his way out, not "attacked". he got tased after throwing himself to the ground and attempting to make a scene.

he deserved it finger-wagging I'm certainly seeing a bunch of that here, and on other sites that covered this story.
Since I wrote that, additional facts have pointed to the guy's role in it. I have posted those facts to the thread.

Here's a link to the Daily Bruin, the UCLA newspaper, with some interviews and eyewitness accounts.
The police claim they were using the weapon in cattle prod mode rather than take 'em down mode.

None that justify the "he deserved it finger-waving." And even if you think they do, the waving began beforehand.

That has been the reaction. I haven't tallied up the posts in this thread, but there's been alot of that.
