Two questions:
1- Why didn’t he just show his ID card?
2- What the heck was that police officer thinking?
It was beyond grotesque,” said UCLA graduate David Remesnitsky of Los Angeles, who witnessed the incident. “By the end they took him over the stairs, lifted him up and Tasered him on his rear end. It seemed like it was inappropriately placed. The Tasering was so unnecessary and they just kept doing it.”
Campus police confirmed that Tabatabainejad was stunned “multiple” times.
By then, Remesnitsky said, a crowd of 50 or 60 had gathered and were shouting at the officers to stop and demanding their names and badge numbers.
Remesnitsky said officers told him to leave or he would be Tasered.
Police officers are trained in dealing with obnoxious people. Or at least, they should be trained in it. There is no excuse for police officers who use excessive force.
