Yes you may have a point, but look how many times they shocked him? They wanted him to get up? The police is suppose to give equal treatment, not just on how much they "like" you.
Also, the guy tried to ask for all the police men's names, and he told him he would tazer him.
They should loose their rights. They aren't real policemen.
LA police officers have been known for their brutality. Shocking the guy with a taser that many times and expecting him to get up is pretty stupid.
TO avoid all of it, he could of simply replied, "Yes officer, I will complie."
Or something of that variation.
The LA police department does not represent all of the United States, for those who say all US police officers are pigs, well then you have never seen a real cop.
Ok let me put this simply.. the kid may have been doing certain things wrong and its enough to arrest him, but tasering a non-hostile person is certainly using too much force, and doing it several times is just plain abusive. If the cops really wanted to take him out easily without force... handcuff his hands and legs and carry him out.
Secondly, he was asked for his badge number and made a threat towards the student. An officer has to atleast give his badge number if asked.
It is clear that this is another sign of the LAPD using brute force to arrest someone and it went well beyond their limits. They should be fired. I believe when i read the report, it said that they were continuing the investigation. Pretty much, they tried to cover it up fairly easily and say it was the students fault, but now that there is so much attention on the issue.. they are forced to reopen the case and hopefully will fire these officers.
I personally wouldn't be the one to be saying, "I would comply" after trying to leave the building and them stopping me... And then shocking me? WTF?
They can go shove their jobs up their asses. Excessive force.
it is illegal as i said before, to tazer a man that many times, which could have very easily stopped his heart, once, maybe twice at most, but not those many times, the guy was probably too weak to get up after the second one, these guys need to go through a course that teaches them the effects of a tazer on a fucking human body before tazering a man a billion times, HE CANT GET UP AFTER HE'S BEEN SHOCKED with various amps of electricity
USa=fucktup.. i mean shit... if i was that guy, i woud have visit those police officers in there free time... then they can start to talk smart
yea watch an episode of cops and ull see, they turn into the frikken hulk and like spaz out
