UCLA policy okays use of tasers against passive demonstrators



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK


Someone needs to be fired at UCLA, and it needs to be very high up in the police department and the university. UCLA has a written policy authorizing the use of a 50,000 volt taser against students who are offering passive resistance. That means, sitting down and not moving as a form of protest can get you tasered repeatedly. It also means the cops who repeatedly tasered a student who refused to show them an ID may have actually been following official campus policy. It is UCLA campus policy to taser students who offer passive resistance. This is sickening.

Someone very high up at UCLA needs to lose their job, now.

(Update on the story.)
