Once Again
STUN GUN-TAZER ABUSE!
Once again I report on tazer abuse by Law Enforcement. The following article I just read today it and was found --> EPIC Alert 13.24 Here!
I just posted a Zebra 3 Report about this type of "SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS" on the 11-28-07 the link is here --> ZEBRA 3 REPORT - "SHOW ME YOUR ID"
23 year-old senior at UCLA, Mostafa Tabatabainejad, a U.S. citizen by birth, was shocked with a Tazer five times by UCLA police after failing to show his ID card in the library.
Tabatabainejad is of Iranian descent.
The incident, which was caught by a student on his cell phone camera, occurred around 11 p.m. on November 21, 2006, in UCLA’s Powell library.
Reports of the event vary: some students have said that when campus police arrived, Tabatabainejad was already leaving.
University authorities, however, say that he refused repeated requests by community service officers and regular campus police to show ID or leave. ID cards are required in the library after 11 p.m.
The officers used the device in stun mode, which delivers volts of
low-amperage energy to the body, causing a disruption of the body’s
electrical energy pulses and locking the muscles, as opposed to dart
mode, which disables the person entirely. According to an Amnesty
International report, the police use of Tasers has resulted in several
deaths.
Accounts of why he was repeatedly shocked are contradictory as well. UCLA Assistant Police Chief Jeff Young described Tabatabainejad as a passive resister who, at 200 pounds, was too heavy to move.
((( SO WTF? ..Just TAZER him because he didn't want to move? This Security Cop is a ...Frickin MONSTER ..... he is a F*CKING PIG )))
Students however noted that he was tased while being handcuffed, and he repeatedly said “I’m not fighting you” and “I said I would leave.”
When another student asked one of the officers for his badge number, the officer threatened to shock him as well, which is illegal.
The university, under pressure from concerned parents and alumni, as well as students, ordered an independent investigation. The announcement came shortly after more than 300 students marched to the UCLA police station. The review will be conducted by Merrick Bobb, a veteran law enforcement watchdog, who has investigated allegations of police misconduct, including the Rodney King beating.
While the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Country Sheriff’s Department allow officers to use Tasers only if a suspect poses a physical threat or is combative, according to Young, the UCLA police are allowed to use Tasers on passive resisters as a “pain compliance technique.” ((( ONLY REAL "FRICKING PIGS" DO THIS )))
They are the only University of California officers allowed to use Tasers in that manner.
Ex-Marine Terrence Durren, the officer who tasered Tabatabainejad has been the subject of use-of-force complaints, which he has denied, and previously recommended for dismissal. He was fired from the Long Beach Police Department in 1990. He remains on active duty while the investigation is being conducted.
