A student
does not have to carry his/her id at all times. What kind of crap is that? What if you're out for a jog, or you step out to get some crap out of your car?
Bottom line - the notion that a student who wasn't cooperative with campus police when they asked him to leave a library deserves to be tasered multiple times is just asinine.
jorgelito: are you saying that because you've had some violent crime around campus, that means that police should have carte blanche to put down non-cooperative behavior as they see fit?
I pulled this out of
Cyn's list - the rest was irrelevant to this situation, as far as I can see:

I don't think I've seen anyone say that campus police can't ask for ID - is the repercussions that are being disputed. This shit was just abusive, plain and simple. This kid is going to settle out of court, and any affect on UCLA is more than likely going to be negative from a PR standpoint.
