UCLA Student abused by police
Monday, April 26th, 2010 by adminThis is an extremely disturbing video of an incident at UCLA. I am unsure what brought the initial actions on but after being handcuffed, a student had been tasered and then the officers repeatedly demand he get up and walk. When in his incapacitated state he does not get up they then repeatedly taser him.
Tasers are considered to be an effective “less than lethal” tool for use to temporarily disable or stop a suspect/attacker. Note it is not a “non-lethal” weapon. Death can happen as a result of a tasers use. In this incident and many like it the tasers are not being used for their purpose but rather are being used as a means to force compliance more like a cattle prod. Damn it! We are not cattle. This is inhumane treatment and if this type of behavior continues I fear there will be a revolutionary war in mine and my children’s time that is not even necessary.
The students did not seem overly pleased as the officers refused to give them any information or badge numbers. Scary business.
This video has already been removed from a number of websites that had it shown including the source. You should watch it before this one is gone as well.
It would seem that their intent is to cause civil unrest as I have also watched police force their way into an elderly womans home without a warrant, listened to a live broadcast as they attempted to force their way into one of my clients homes again without a warrant, watched them taser a handcuffed child who was sitting in a cruiser, pepper sprayed a man and put a bag over his head causing him to die and so much more. When is the abuse of our people going to stop? If we cannot trust the police to protect and serve us then who can we rely on? US! Which means no one else but YOU!
Here are a few more videos that you should find disturbing.

They put a bag over his head after this which by now they know full well what could happen as they killed a man this way already with a pillow case.

Not sure if this guy was armed or not. I will assume so. I am not showing this video to show police abuse but rather to show that a taser is not “non-lethal” and should not be used as such. A taser should only be used if there is an eminent threat to life.
