I hope by now that everyone has seen the video footage of the UCLA student getting tazered 6 times for not showing his ID to cops. This incident took place in the library on-campus. It just so happens that the student is of Middle-Eastern decent, right? Watch this video and listen to the kid scream in agony while the police continuelly ask him to get up. I have never been tazered but I have been schocked for a split second by 220VAc and it pretty much threw me. Most tazers are rated at 10's of thousands of volts and I just can't see how this student would be able to get up after prolonged shocks lasting a few seconds a shot. Eventually he passes out while the police drag him away and other students protest this. The end result was the student was released with no charges. This is why I stress to know your civil rights and the Bill of Rights. This student was correct in the fact that he does not have to show his ID to officers unless he is being charged with something, this is also true in the case of being pulled over while driving. The fact that his rights were violated and he was physically assaulted should be a straight shot to a courtroom, but with the Patriot Act I, Military Commissions Act and numerous other bills just waiting for congressional approval civil rights get swept under the rug of fascizm. Wow! I said it if you don't believe me look this bills up and if you can't understand the pages and pages of legal jargon, then they are doing what they were meant to do, keep us uninformed and at their whim. you are a citizen and you have rights, amongst those rights is the ability to contact your County, State, and Federal Representative to tell them the issues that bother you most. If all of us make that call, how long can they continue to ignore us?

Source: NBC 11 Comment: This is like something out of a horror movie, you can hear the guy screaming and begging not to be tortured as they repeatedly hit him with the Taser shot. Tortured for not showing ID in America, this is what "serve and protect" has come to mean. |
