Got some doom for ya, F-man

Almost 7 min long, this video packs a lot of doom...


There is a detailed diary on this on DKos, so here's a bare outline of how 2 police officers couldn't detain a student with (allegedly) 6 taser shots: During a late night security check of students at a computer lab at UCLA a student who is not carrying his ID is asked to leave. When the student doesn't immediately shut down his computer the security guard calls in the campus police, who encounter the student as he is leaving the lab. The above video starts where the student is intercepted by the campus police and prevented from leaving the computer lab, and when he protests he is tasered by the UCLA police. According to the police the student "didn't cooperate" although students say he did. The police cuff the student who then drops. The police keep telling the student to get up and when he can't or won't they tazer him again and again. Why didn't they just pick him up and carry him out, you ask, since that's what happened at the end anyway. I'm asking that too. Why do they keep screaming at the terrorized student, which only serves to escalate an already tense situation, instead of calmly talking with him, trying to see his position? Wouldn't public safety be better served by just 'talking the kid down'? Yes, the police need to respond forcefully to violent criminals resisting arrest but this student perhaps broke a college rule (I don't know UCLA regs). If you want to be tough I guess you can argue that they could have given the kid a written warning and let him walk off. Well, it can also be said that terrorism is intended for those who witnesses it as well. Oh yes, a student who asked for badge numbers was threatened with a tasering, too.
"Here's your Patriot Act! Here's your f**king abuse of power!" Mostafa Tabatabainejad, the aforementioned student.

Update 2: Thank you, Keith Olbermann, for bringing this disgusting incident to national attention.
Last Update:
I think what happened at UCLA is tragic, repugnant and despicable not because it's unique but because it isn't unique. That or worse happens in this country regularly. Here is a quote from They Thought They Were Free, The Germans 1933-1945, by Milton Mayer:

"To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it--please try to believe me--unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted', that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these 'little measures' that no 'patriotic German' could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head."
