Pure Police State American Horror Caught On Camera

Post by Snake Plissken »

A couple of days ago an Iranian American college student at UCLA was tazered by cops for not showing his STUDENT ID amongst all things when asked (and this right is protected under the mandates given in his situation under the U.S. constitution). And the cops threatened to shoot anyone trying to help him while he mentioned "I HAVE A HEALTH CONDITION!" But the cops just continued to batter the shit out of him because he was Iranian and refused to show his stupid Student ID.

"Here's Your la-li-lu-le-lo Act, here's your fucking abuse of power" screamed the victim as he was hauled off violently by the police.

This is pure horror beyond any belief possible to see and it's happening right where most of us live.

This right here is almost solid proof that we're moving into a police state.

I think the guy deserved to be thrown out of the computer lab, but it was a little extreme to Taser him multiple times. I know it was for the students' protection to show ID after hours, but I think the guy felt he was racially profiled and overreacted. He should've just showed his ID instead of trying to make a scene.
