Although I didn't go to a prestigious university like UCLA, I'd like to believe that I'm smart enough that I'd have gotten the message -- that it's important to cooperate with armed individuals -- after the first several electrical shocks coursed thru my brain.

Particularly the part where everyone's sort of standing around and the cops keep asking him to stand. Thanks for posting action steps. I saw this clip too, very disturbing.

The really fucked up thing, in my opinion, are the two students at the end of the video who think it may have been justified (the first to be interviewed and number three). That guy wasn't hurting anybody--the cops and security could have done their job a lot better merely by talking to him for however long it took than by applying any kind of force. "If you want people to respect the law, first you must teach respect to the people that enforce the law." Who was it that said that, Mr. Law Student? Man!
