Student shot with Taser by UCPD officers
Video Shows UCLA Police Using Stun Gun On Student

The man’s name is Mostafa Tabatabainejad. It seems as though he objected to an officer manhandling him. This earned him the first shock. When he fell to the ground, he was given four further shocks for being unable to stand up — even though he said that he has a medical condition.

I wonder if it was because he had “mongolian eyes“.

The officers then threatened the gathering crowd of students, saying that they would taser anybody who got close.

Via Digg.

Sir Ian BlairDoes anybody else think this photograph looks really weird? The background makes it look like he’s performing on a 1970s variety show or something, not making a sober speech about terrorism and how we’re all going to die unless we lock up every brown person for 90 days or whatever.

Ah, he was a terrorist! Oh no, wait.

Yeah, but he was wearing a heavy jacket which could have concealed explosives. Hang on.

Err, he was Asian, and you can’t take your chances these days! Oh right.

Ah, but he was acting suspiciously. Why else would you vault over the barrier? Ah.. ha.

Yeah, but he was an illegal immigrant, so he doesn’t matter anyway. Err uh.

How about this? The police fucked up and now they have a lot of explaining to do? Yup.
