UCLA Student Tasered by Campus Police in Library

This is a pretty graphic video, so you may want to read the back story before taking a look.

What blows my mind is you can hear the tasers being used at a few points while the police are demanding the kid ’stand up’. I’m no expert on the subject, but it would seem the use of taser might get in the way of following commands that require coordination and motor skills. Maybe UCLA should provide the operating manual to its officers.

TASER devices save lives and are generically known as electronic control devices. TASER brand devices are among the safer use-of-force options available today. TASER systems use proprietary technology to immediately incapacitate dangerous, combative or high-risk individuals who pose a risk to law enforcement officers, innocent citizens or themselves. TASER devices have been proven statistically to dramatically reduce injury rates to suspects and officers and increase officer safety and community security compared to any other use of force option.
