UCLA Kid Gets His Ass Tasered At Library
MSNBC - - A cell phone captured video of a 23-year-old student being administered multiple Taser shocks by UCLA police on Tuesday. The UCLA student was hit with the Taser shocks multiple times while he was in the Powell Library Computer Lab. According to the paper, Tabatabainejad did not show ID to community service officers who were conducting a random check. UCLA police said Tabatabainejad was released by police after he was cited for obstruction/delay of a peace officer in the performance of duty. Police said they thought Tabatabainejad was not harmed in the incident."If he was able to walk out of here, I think he was OK," the sergeant said.
Well I guess the moral of the story here is that you need to bring your student ID to the UCLA Library to get in. And the 2nd lesson is that when you get tasered by community service officers (do they get paid?) and they tell you to stand up, you should try and get up so you don't get tasered again. Although I am a bit confused how the kid was supposed to get up when he kept getting tasered? Doesn't tasering knock you down? It seems counterproductive to taser somebody while you're yelling at them to stand up. But like the Police Sergeant said, "if he was able to walk out of here, he was ok"
Hey, wait a minute, he didn't walk out of the library at all. He got dragged out and was tasered throughout the process.
As a side note, I wish I could taser our writers when they didn't blog enough for my liking. "Write a blog Manzo or I'll taser you"
