On the other hand the guy sounded like a totally arrogant prick and I whole heartidly support randomally tasering arrogant pricks.
And why the hell didn't he leave when asked? I suppose he was making his stand on the floor or something.
When he went on his rant about abuse of power and being in this God forsaken place I would of so tasered him again. Of course they did a few seconds later anyway.
You can so tell these guys and gals watching are collage and university students too. God they should of tasared that girl while they were there. And that whiney guy who was like "Stop it, man, stop it." Jesus he was annoying. "This is abuse of ya power!" Tell ya what when they actually tasered all of them of just getting in the way of doing there jobs or just being actual students then you can complain about abuse of power.
Seriously though I would of stood up after at least the second tasering. He did scream well though. Good volume.
But yeah everyones right, they should of totally beat him with there sticks and dragged him out by the scruff of his neck instead of tasering the bastard.
And.. Hey...

BruinCard is the official campus identification for UCLA, and is required for all students, faculty, and staff.

He didn't have his BruinCard. He should of left to get his card. The libary is a university run libary. Not open to public. You're not allowed to come in and just sit and use the versilities. When he realised he didn't have he card he SHOULD of left. Damn I know I would of anyway.
But yeah, they should of totally taken his word he was a student because you can totally believe anyone who says that and completely trust them not to do anything. They weren't doing there job at all and should of just left him alone after he refused to leave the libary. How dare they abuse there power that way.
God if those were English security guards they wouldn't have tasers to use and so would have defiantly grabbed and thrown that guy out and if he got physical or laid on the floor a good few kicks and a stick to the back of the head might of convinced him otherwise. I'd of loved to see the responce to THAT scene there.
Of course if it was in England the scene would of been:
*Stick to the back of the head*
Everyone: "WTF is this shit!!!"
Guard: "Didn't have his card"
Everyone: "Oh, alright, carry on. Its what ya get. Probably should of left there chappy."
Brilliant!
A kinda serious edit:
Oh hey, I suppose how seriously you take the tasering is how seriously you take his eh.. "screams of pain." I must say those tasers must of be set to torture, because I've known guys with a bone sticking out of there leg that didn't scream that much when they were forced to actually walk a few steps.
The guy was hamming it up and its totally obvious. He defiantly wanted attention (the fact he got to have his indignation rant about the p.act just adds to it) and everyone ate it all up and because of that we'll never get a proper account of what actually happened to lead up to the whole thing. I'm sure being tasered Is painful but its not THAT painful. I'd of tasered for longer for being a damn drama queen.
I mean already I've heard he:
*Was already handcuffed when they tasered him
*Was actually shot then tasered
*Took swings at the officers
*Was actually in the middle of leaving and was tasered
*Was tasered then asked to leave
No one will now give a clear acoount because all the drama has been blown into the event and no ones too sure about what did happen.
The effects of tasers on people has also been disputed, like some say he would of lost total control of all his muscles for up to 15 minutes so couldn't of got up. But for a guy with no control of mis muscles he certainly shouted and cursed enough. The only way I'll know is if I get tasered by surprise myself or it happens to a mate I trust the word of.
But yeah.. totally... how awful. <p><div style="text-align:center"> </div>
