Let’s take a lemon and make 40 glasses of lemonade out of it. Now, I understand the student may or may not have been racially profiled. I can accept that fact of life. I can accept the policemen may have went a bit overboard and used excessive force.
Now, the media spin. You give them an inch and they take a mile. First off, that is not a very non-violent protest when you tell them to fuck off, mention the patriot act, and a bunch of extraneous behaviors. Now, he said he was leaving, yet his reaction was to go limp? What was so hard about getting up and leaving?
Let’s assume the officers are out of control. So, why would you try to reason with them aggressively? Why not comply with their request to be escorted and THEN sue them later? Unless, of course, you feel your shocking will help the ACLU get more money. Even if this kid has a case, he’s definitely guilty of being a moron. And as far as students “pleading” with him, that dosn’t look like pleading to me. That looks like kids being stuck-up college students loving an opportunity to shove their finger in the authoritarian pie.
One bad move (by the police) met by another bad movie (by the student and students) equals a clusterF*ck. I suppose this UCLA student received a typical college education… one that lacks common sense.
Now, the full video with the swearing, student belligerence, telling them they are idiots on the spot.

These are the reasons I don’t take college debates seriously. When someone can SO VERY MUCH misconstrue what is happening when this guy is basically doing the equivalent of crying Red Menace (today’s modern day equivalent being hate crime).
The mere fact that they guy doesn’t move for 7 minutes is enough to warrant police action - he is OBVIOUSLY causing civil unrest, in a fucking library.
I’d have tased him myself - chances are, if I’m in a library, I have SHIT TO DO, so STFU

typical bullshit from aging liberal hippie douchebags, the fucking jag-off told cops prior to being tased that he didn’t have to leave and to then go fuck themselves, so they display the taser and he feels compelled to leave, so he flips off the cops and one grabs him by the arm to escort him from the library, thats when he took a swing at the one officer and then got tased, but the criminally liberal media won’t tell you that, I have to look at the facts which is stated in the officers and eye witness reports, personally I would have fed that little fucker a lead lunch but thats just me
