117. This should lay to rest any doubt that we live in a police state!
I don't understand why the other students didn't come to the kid's aid. They certainly could have overwhelmed the police. Sure they probably would have ended up arrested -- but they would have made a powerful statement against the abusive actions of these so called cops.
In the LA Times I read the mealy-mouth reaction from the UCLA administration -- they should have unequivocallly come to this kid's aid -- they are supposed to protect the students, not permit pigs with tazers in the library.
UCLA students should shut the school down and demand changes in policy so that something like this NEVER happens again.
I hope the kid wins a gazillion dollar lawsuit against the pigs and the school!!!
