LAPD and YouTube
On tuesday night the LAPD tasered a student in a library of UCLA 5 times, because he didnt have an ID to stay in the library. The student was an iranian-american and there is a lot of attention focused on this both from the student factions, and also the iranians. What better story than in these conditions, an american police brutalize an iranian student. Will Ahmadinejad comment on this?
But the bigger problem is police brutality and especially so in LA. I read the following article which pointed to 2 other incidences involving LAPD this week. Videos were taken and spread on youtube. The power of internet.
Btw here is the Digg story about it.

shocking indeed, specially as one of the youtube videos said the police didn't consider the student could have had some mental condition, and also I am assuming there was no violence from his part although trying to be fair it is sometimes difficult to judge what happens in these moments: remember our Police incident in Chicago!
o.k. watching this video again is a totally different to Chicago :-P these guys are just saying stand up or you get teasered again! I wonder what their defense argument is?
