text: what do you think about the tazing of the ucla student? personally i think the cops should loose their jobs or at least have to make a public apology to victim and student body. they have to get some kind of public ridicule for their actions.   they even threatened other students: a girl asked to see the officers badge and the police responed saying "do you want to be tazed too"  i don't see any justification for this, think if it happen to you. what happen to just dragging a guy out, there certainly were enough officers    http://www.yikers.com/video_ucla_student_tazed_for_not_having_id.html every ucla alumnus should call the ucla president's office (310-825-4321) and let pres. robert c. dynes and chancellor norman abrams know that you will withhold all contributions until the police officers are fired.    a university is usually far more tolerant and respectful of students' rights, and far more restrictive on police brutality, than outside the university gates.  in mexico, police are not even allowed inside a university gates unless specifically invited in by the chancellor.  having worked in universities for the past 20 years, i can safely say the behavior of the ucla pd as exhivited in the 6-minute video (not 10 seconds) is inexcusable.  they could have dragged the guy out, let him scream all he wants.  if he resisted phsycially, they could have handcuffed him -- for 200 years our police did not need tasers or pepper spray to handcuff people.  (maybe he was already handcuffed when they tasered him, which is even less excusable.)   there is a big difference between being tased once (often by a low-voltage) in a test situation and having it done to you multiple times in a row in a hostile situation.  there have been 73 deaths associated with tasers between 1999 and 2004.  even police officers in five states have sued taser international claiming they "suffered serious injuries after being shocked with the device during training classes."  http://orlando.injuryboard.com/defective-products/an-alternative-to-the-defective-and-deadly-taser.php
