Student Tasered By Police for Moving too Slowly

A much talked about incident recently occurred in the states, whereby an Iranian-American student at the University of California was tasered up to five times after failing to produce his BruinCard during a random check at the campus library.

The incident serves to highlight once again the over the top tactics of the American authorities as well as providing a further insight into the perception of race related attacks and police brutality. Having watched the video, it would appear that the UCLA police acted extremely unethically and without any concern for the victims well being. It is clear that the techniques applied were unnecessary and unjust.

Please distribute this video so that we may make an effort to bring those responsible to justice and hope that they are severely reprimanded.

This video has also sparked an interesting debate on Slashdot as to the ubiquity of video phone technology and its roll in todays society. One mans claim has now given rise to a global backing in what could prove to be an important turn in justice issues.
