Incredible UCLA library event caught on video

I’m sure by now everyone has heard of the UCLA student, Mostafa Tabatabainejad, who chose to leave the library rather than show his ID. The police apparently stopped him on his way out and started tasering the hell out of him. This is apparently the third in a string of incidents caught on video recently in LA. ACSBlog linked to this YouTube video of the event.

t is hard to see how the officers could justify their actions, especially as multiple witnesses reported that Tabatabainejad was heading for the door when they started to work him over. As you can see, their treatment of him seems uncalled-for and sadistic. I admire the restraint of the onlookers, actually. Police behavior like this was just asking for a mob reaction.
