In what world do a majority on here, that believe this is justifiable believe this was a "Righteous action" on behalf of the campus security in order to "Protect the betterment of the establishment".
There was no need to resort to a tazer. How many people does it take to escort someone out? Three?

As I said before, were you there? As someone pointed out earlier, it appears the kid or whoever was resisting his own removal from somewhere he didnt belong? What would you say if the police resorted to physical violence and broke the kids arm, or dislocated his shoulder? Youd be saying the same #. Do you know anything about police procedure? About investigating an unruly individual in a public place who has been warned by local security and how you approach that individual? I thought not. So how bout you shut your yap about # you dont know about OK???

I love where you're getting at, because you're clearly taking offense to this. Hmm mission accomplished. And yeah I'd say the same thing.. since when does it take so much to bring someone out of a building.
Goooddbyeeee.
As a result of this examination, it appears that Tasers are a viable option for use as a less- lethal device. The likelihood of serious injury as a result of a Taser’s employment appears to be no greater than other less-lethal options currently in use, and probably less likely.
This does not mean it is impossible for a suspect to be seriously injured in an
incident in which a Taser is used.
A review of literature both cited by Taser International, Inc. and otherwise revealed that the level of electrical output or shock delivered by a Taser is very unlikely to cause permanent injury. In addition, recovery from a Taser shock is almost instantaneous, as opposed to other less-lethal options that may result in longer term recovery or require decontamination. Our limited research also revealed that Tasers may be an effective deterrent to resistance when simply deployed; that is, displayed with the intent to use if compliance is not immediately gained.

It's actually quite funny...they use it, claim they are safe but admit to "limited research".

So this ID card idea that is used at UCLA was spawned by the Nazis?
Not showing ID in an area that requires ID is breaking the law. How can this not be understood? Not having an ID has consequences in this and many other countries. You may think this is stupid, but when it comes to security and meeting standards and protocols it isn't.

Gemwolf, you actually believe that the statement "leave me alone" constitutes "I'll leave!" I certainly dont. And once again the video doesnt do a very good job showing exactly what the police did to him, and to me looks staged based on the dialogue. Like this kid was trying to make a political statement with his comments on the vid, which is very possible but no one(of all the conspiracy theorists on this site) seems to want to bring up. Kind of makes it seem like a one way street, its a conspiracy as long as the govt does it. But oh, these kind of folk dont try to spread their own propaganda.

No one is sure whether he actually said he’d leave, that's why I put "I'll leave" in square brackets... And yes, I agree that it seems like there is some sort of underlying political agenda - and I believe this because of what he said -, but he couldn't have known that the scenario would play down the way it did.
