Yeah, I think it's a case of him being a ponce and basically disobeying them until they have to do it to him. I think that the amount of bias that it puts on the police is unreal, they are only doing their job.

It's like that Brazilian guy that ran away when he saw coppers, it's the same with not showing ID, if you don't do it you are going to look suspicious, schools are having a big crackdown on not having/showing your ID because of the amount of people that cause trouble, for example shootings and in lower schools peadofiles, and the fact that he is from the Middle East only makes it worse for him as people hold the preconception (not me, but most Americans) that all Middle Eastern people are terrorists. If he had just got up when they asked or at least said that he would instead of aggravating the police then he would have been ok.

My first post was rushed and I didn't get to make the point properly.

i hope he sues and gets lots of money. I hope the dumb cops are forced to appologise and have it explained to them why what they did was wrong. I hope they lose their jobs. I hope they go to prison. I hope he visits to thank them for all the cash he now has.

Ive no idea what will actually happen but it will be interesting to find out but judging by the official account it will just be treated as an unofrtunate incident. The official account only mentions the guy being tazered once, where he was clearly tazered several times from the youtube vid.

The officers wd have got away with it completely if they hadnt decided to do it in a quiet library. I guess they do it quite often and didnt see why anyone would think it was wrong.

Unfortunately I think this kind of thing happens a lot when authority figures think there is no limit to what they can do to get someone to comply with their wishes. Usually the witnesses dont record video of the incident.

My sister refused to get off a wall outside a night club a few years ago, and was assualted and sat on by a few british police officers. In her attempts to fight them off she injured one and so was convicted of assaulting a police officer and did community service.

Arguably she shd have just done as she was told, but actually she wasnt doing anything wrong so why should she have to ?

I agree with Siggi. Your basically condoning brute force tactics by the police because someone is refusing to co-operate with a request which the police cannot legally enforce.

More over your justifying it because the guys coloured and has an middle eastern name.

Have you ever seen the UK police restrain someone before? i.e. like a violent drunk? If our police can manage that then why the hell does the US police need to taser a f*cking student in the library of a university?

You are actively defending the use of brute force by the police.

[EuropeanNC30R...]

It's bad enough the first shot with the tazer, you could argue a weak case that such force is necessary. Repeatedly zapping him when he's incapacitated on the floor still recovering from the last shot is completely inexcusable.

I've not checked it yet but apparently there's a bit at the end where they threaten another student with the tazer 'unless he goes back to the computer' for arguing with them.

Then Siggi's point of you being a Nazi stands perfectly validated. Its nice to see the nanny state has you brainwashed into accepting authority figures with no questions asked.
