"UCLA's police rules allow officers to use Tasers on suspects engaging in passive resistance, which is what police said 23-year-old senior Mostafa Tabatabainejad was doing last week."



This makes me sick.

Good thing there are independant investigations going along, hopefully the independant ones will name him for the brutal idiot he was.

That's pretty juvenile and more than a bit trashy.

That's why he's not a Cop.

They'd never accept this kind of attitude. It seems though when they find out one of their policemen has become like this, They cover it up....

All people with that mentality should be fired, regardless what level of law enforcement they are in.

Might I ask what talking smack is? Is that another way of saying talking back?  Yes, I am utterly clueless on this one. Never heard of this phrase before, and I am curious.

Thanks Xordan. Interesting slang.

Well Coneitic I think if one is to talk "smack" to you that doesn't give you the right to automatically taser someone. That's just obvious anger issue's if you do and lack of self control. Something we don't need on a police force. They are there to serve and protect, not to get into contest's about who's nuts are bigger.

"You suck!"

"No, you suck!"

"I'm going to hit you!"

"I'm going to hit you too!"

And so on.

A whole hour?  What could possibly be controversial about it?

A whole hour?  What could possibly be controversial about it?

1)the fact that the student was a student of color
2)the fact that the police were called in the first place
3)the fact that the kid refused to offer any forms of id and did not comply
4)that the kid had a condition

etc.....we talked about possible reasons and implications of a bunch of different theories and questions

[Datruth]

I agree with zanz, if you don't consider this police brutality, your eyes are basically shut.

That discussion in class probably took place, on one side with the people who knew the situation and were sympathetic towards the kid.

And on the other side, people who didn't know the whole situation and sided with the police.

It's happend like that even on this thread, but once people see how one sided this issue is, the discussion tilts towards the cops and their motives.
