You can't taser someone multiple times and then tell them to get up. Thats like shooting someone and then telling them to stop screaming in pain or they'll get shot again. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, the threat by the officer at the end of the clip where he threatens to tase someone who asked for the officer's name and badge number just goes to show how out of control these particular officers are. These guys are either fools or have such poor training they can't handle a situation and end up escalating it. I would hate to think what would happen if it was a real situation. This guy just didn't show his ID when he left the computer lab.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-1163914713966996642006-11-19T00:38:00.000-05:002006-11-19T00:38:00.000-05:00According to the UCPD website, "UCPD works closely...According to the UCPD website, "UCPD works closely with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and other local law enforcement agencies in a collaborative effort to prevent regional crime and apprehend criminal suspects."<BR/><BR/>So, UCPD is not part of LAPD, but they work together.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00527850321812906680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-1163866312011161452006-11-18T11:11:00.000-05:002006-11-18T11:11:00.000-05:00LOL!There ya go Maria, that makes it right.

Nothing like a good knee-jerk reaction to the article without actually reading the facts.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, just like Rodney King, nothing is mentioned regarding the behavior of the student before the camera phone started rolling. Sounds a lot like the Rodney King incident, huh? Jumping to conclusions while not looking at the bigger picture and all of the facts.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying that what they did was right. I want to learn ALL of the facts before I start yelling "racism" and "brutality". Maybe some other people should read up a little more before commenting in blogs.<BR/><BR/>Everyone loves to bash cops when things like this happen, but when your house is robbed or you're attacked on the street, the first thing you do is dial 911. If the cops are so bad -- and you immediately judge them before learning the facts -- why do you call them when you need help?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-1163804854390045452006-11-17T18:07:00.000-05:002006-11-17T18:07:00.000-05:00This is the third time in a short period of time t...This is the third time in a short period of time that the LAPD has been caught on tape abusing people. Perhaps the best thing about the proliferation of cameras on phones is that we can catch these bastards abusing their power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
