it depends on what they police too, the cops in the video i saw live in northern canada for the most part and (according to them) deal exclusively with 200 pound drunken natives...i seriously doubt any one of them if confronted with this situation would have resorted to tazers

Sad. I wonder what the situation would be like if it was a white guy, whose name for example was "John Smith". Would he be tasered?
I understand that the kid should have abided by the law, but that doesn't mean you have to fucking use a taser on him. I clearly see 4 or 5 cops in the video, either those cops were really fucking gay and couldn't handle ONE kid or they just got fucked up the ass and wanted to prove they were men the next day. Yeah of course 80% of are going to judge for this shit.
And yes, I am convinced that 80% of this thread consists of jazx and kona's posts. It's sad when you take pleasure in others misery. Just cause his name has more letters than yours doesn't mean he should get tasered. I hope, no I really fucking hope people like you suffer one day, cause thats what you deserve and nothing less.

No matter what nationality, race, religion, or skin color of the kid, I would have still responded in the same manner as I did. Now go fucking judge me, cause thats all you fuckers are good at.

Preface to the rant: Just got in from company party. 4 martinis. 1 scotch. Hard to type. But this is a serious and deeply heartfelt statement.:
Isn't it at al disturbing that the default reaction by and large is that this kid got what he deserved? You're telling me that any disruptive behavior no matter how inappropriate (outside of recognizable violence) is equaled by real physical pain? What kind of Nazi shit is that?
I recall being genuinely revolted by descriptions I read of the Chicago protests in the 60's at he Democratic National Convention. How people were brutally beaten (college students mind you) for protesting Vietnam. Talk to anyone who was there. It was surreal and ugly. Have we learned nothing about civil disobedience? Or are we just going to swallow any shit we are given because of all this terrorism jive? Oh they bombed us at one point, so that means that we can slowly atrophy every other social structure within our society. It's perfectly fine for cops to tazzer a student who is studying because he didn't have his ID and became belligerent. Couldn't just throw him out. That would require thought and professionalism.
I don't care what this cat was doing. Just because you wear a little blue uniform, doesn't mean you get to torture people.
We're going backwards, people. The Man, and his people are winning. And I can prove it. It's easy...because you believe he is right. Ask yourself: Is it fundamentally wrong that a student is studying in the library? And so what if the policy is that he must have his ID? Who gives a fuck? Was this a real check or did they ask him because he was middle eastern? Who knows?
Listen, we are a generation of creative thinkers, or at least we proclaim to be. Then prove it. Think about this incident and what implications it might have socially, politically, artistically, whatever. Was this kid in the right, or were the faceless stormtroopers of death in the right? Or did I just use a loaded sentence? Hmm, hard to tell. Chance are, both are fucked up and wrong.
Let's not crucify either party, but try and examine the outcome. My guess is that the kid will suffer some level of trauma from the incident, and the cops probably went home and had lousy evenings and weekends. What does this say about our current cultural relationship with protest, authority, conformity, and political torrents? Do you feel more or less latent?
Me? i don't know. But I DO know that this was not right on either end. The current imposed fear of terrorism has instilled a feeling of entitlement to law enforcement types everywhere, as I have experienced it. My hope i that this is discussed as a symptom of our cultural times, and not an isolated freak incident, or dismissed as poor training*Ends rant. Tastes cookie. It is good. East three.

Interesting, the story form eyewitnesses is that the kid wa sasked to leave and was in the process of leaving when the Community Service Officer made physical contact with him, and hten the whole shebang began.

Again, kid was a little to sensitive, but it's bad policing. Seems like the kid was a legit student and just didn't have his ID on him.
And I'm really shocked by how many people here and at YouTube just kinda think it's totally acceptable for police, or "community service officers", to tazer someone repeatedly for this particular incident.
Facism starts with the little people thinking this kinda shit is acceptable behavior by authority. Kid deserved it, right. Just like those uppity blacks in the South a half century ago..imagine them thinking they could sit anywhere on a bus they wanted. Deserved the fire hoses and the dogs, I tell you what. Just like this uppity kid deserved to be tazered multiple times and dragged out the school he pays to attend. Good job guys.
There IS your patriot act.

I find it even more amazing that a kid would let it get that far for example, the entire article states that he was asked to leave first by library staff who after the kid didn't leave in a timely manner (which could mean anything) the library staff then contacted security (why would library staff feel the need to contact security? in order to get this asshole out of the building.

Some facts on Taser guns from the manufacture of said items:

in the article it says he walked away yeah? also the tazor certainly didn't shut his freaking voice box up.

Again, the kid WAS an idiot, and has culpibility for his behavior, but this was bad, bad, bad police work and abuse of authority. There are tons of ways to get that kid out of the building without using tasers, and I see at no point in the video when the officers were in any sort of physical threat from this kid that would justify the application of a taser multiple times.

Fuck em
