Student tazered at UCLA for not having his ID

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Now the thing is... I find it hard to believe they would do this over ID. I just have trouble beleiving it. I have no idea why an officer of the law would abuse his position this much, unless he was evil or completely insane. And I don't know how either types could become a police officer.

After having met many people my age who aspire to be cops it doesn't surprise me. The job naturally attracts terrible, vile people.

It's not that way in Canada, as far as I can see. I think you're generalizing. To me, a person who would want to be a policeman is honourable and self-sacrificing; at least, one who wants to be a policeman for the right reasons.
