Holy ballsonaloaf! I go to school less than 30 minutes away from UCLA!
The story is this student, who is of a Middle Eastern background (Or so I'm guessing from his name), was inside of the Powell library when one of the security guards asked to see his student ID. I guess checking for Student ID in the library is a regular thing after asking a friend who goes there. But this student forgot his, so he said he would leave.
Instead, the University police decided they were going to haul him away.
For not having his Student ID.
So he refused, as many would, and they tazered him. Then they slapped handcuffs on him and were yelling at him to get up and leave. (My guess is that they were afraid of the crowd forming around them, yelling at the guards and asking for their badge numbers). The kid was tazered a total of 4 times before he made it out of the library (No wonder he was having a tough time getting up and walking? He was handcuffed as well, mind you.)
