Police Department officers administered multiple taser shots to a 23-year-old student in the Powell Library computer lab, it was reported Wednesday.Video shot from another student's camera phone shows the man screaming while on the floor of the computer lab as officers tasered him at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Daily Bruin.The student, who was identified by a UCLA police sergeant as Mostafa Tabatabainejad, had been working at a computer in the back of the lab and had failed to produce a student ID during a random check performed by community service officers, the newspaper reported.Tabatabainejad was given a citation for obstruction/delay of a peace officer in the performance of duty and released from custody, the sergeant said.Officers were escorting Tabatabainejad out of the computer lab when the trouble started, according to the Daily Bruin.One of the officers placed a hand on one of his arms, which the student objected to.As a second officer approached, he repeatedly yelled "get off of me," the newspaper reported.It was then that one of the officers shot Tabatabainejad with a taser gun, dropping him to the floor as he cried out, according to the newspaper.The video shows the student shouting, "here's your Patriot Act, here's your f---ing abuse of power," the newspaper reported.
Besides... they weren't carrying him to jail or were the going to detain him in any significant manner...they well well within their "rights" to even put their hands on him as the were escourting him out...but aye...he decided to be all like MC Hammer and "O NO U DINT CANT TUCH DIS NEH NEH NEH NEH!"
