Xenophobia by UCLA Police, Students Just Stand By And Watch

I watched the video of the event, which the Los Angeles times describes very clinically: [1]

The latest in a recent spate of cellphone videos documenting questionable arrest tactics surfaced Wednesday, this one showing a UCLA police officer using a Taser to stun a student who allegedly refused to leave the campus library.

Of course, the victims name is clearly Middle Eastern, something the Los Angeles Times doesn't discuss, but should. However, the main point is the abuse of power, and believe me, there is nothing clinical in the painful screams and angry denunciation of police power, in this video. [2] Prepare to be disturbed.

Crooks and Liars has more. [3]
