"UCPD officers shot a student several times with a Taser inside the Powell Library CLICC computer lab late Tuesday night before taking him into custody. At around 11:30 p.m., CSOs asked a male student using a computer in the back of the room to leave when he was unable to produce a BruinCard during a random check. The student did not exit the building immediately.

Video shot from a student's camera phone captured the student yelling, "Here's your Patriot Act, here's your f&*$ing abuse of power," while he struggled with the officers.

"It was the most disgusting and vile act I had ever seen in my life," said David Remesnitsky, a 2006 UCLA alumnus who witnessed the incident. "

Other students showed remarkable restraint IMO - there could easily have been a full-scale riot in face of this abuse of power.

Whoever are the thugs responsible for this travesty, they ought be fired immediately, removed and banned permanently from EVER holding a similar position anywhere in the United States of America.

Anyone who is trained to use a laser has to be a moron to demand someone on whom they have already used that force "stand up" on their own ...

... but we are not talking about a so-called "terrorist" or "enemy combatant" and I do not give a good golly damn if the kid forgot his card - HE IS A STUDENT !

Either you and I are going to stand up together and raise our voices against the sort of thing that happened at UCLA or we are going to be locked up sooner or later anyway.

If you live in California, PLEASE write to your state education system and demand this sort of thing NEVER NEVER NEVER happen again !
