No Id? Tased!

Police brutality seems to be a bit of a problem as of late. This instance bothers me a bit too much since it hits close to home. There better be a full-blown investigation ending in sanctions to these officers in the next few days. Granted the video does not show how it started, but how long can one "resist" arrest specially while being tased? Besides, it seems that the student was trying to leave when the officers started using force.

Yeah, it really is. It is not the worst documented instance of police brutality in the last few months, though. And god only knows what goes on when there are no cameras around. So f'ed up. I wonder what one could do to get a handle on this.

yeah... its scary... today my friends and I were talking about some guy that got shot in eugene not too long ago... he was bipolar aparently, and was trying to stab his family =/ and the cops shot him 5 times till he was dead... [or something like that... im not sure] and my friend says that there was no need to shoot him that much, that a shot in the arm or something might have been enough to calm the guy... that was sort of scary too...
