A UCLA student didn't have his I.D. when entering the library's computer lab. As he turned to leave a police officer stopped him. After the students told the police not to touch him and that he was leaving, the student was tasered mutiple times. Other students saw this horrible incident and asked for the officers' information and badge numbers. However they were threatened by the officers to stay out of the situation. This reminded me of an episode of cops I saw where a man was unfairly tasered after cooperating. Police brutality is really a big issue in our country today, the notorious SFPD for example. Even though police is suppose to be the safekeepers of our community, not feared torturers. In fact, police are often found to commit the most extreme cases of violence and discrimination. This case is only one example of much police violence is out there. It just shows how we as human beings can be influences so easily by power, and how poorly shaped our community structure really is. Just because police officers are given the power of guns, badges, and tasers, it doesn't mean they have to use it to such extremity.

No, not the movie CRASH, I'm referring to an actual car accident. Last saturday, I was out celebrating with my homies after dinner. We Had a good time until when I started driving down Twin Peaks in San Francisco around 10:50 PM. It was late at night and I wasn't familiar with the streets. Before I realized it, I was in a accident. I felt scared and shocked at the same time, I wish I was dreaming but it's too real to be a dream.
