LOS ANGELES - A camera phone captured a UCLA student being shot with a stun gun by a police officer after he allegedly refused repeated requests to show his student identification and would not leave a campus library, university police said Wednesday. The incident occurred about 11 p.m. Tuesday after police did a routine check of student ID at the Powell Library computer lab. "This is a long-standing library policy to ensure the safety of students during the late-night hours," said UCLA Police Department spokeswoman Nancy Greenstein. She said police tried to escort Mostafa Tabatabainejad, 23, out of the library after he refused to provide ID and would not leave. Tabatabainejad, who was arrested for resisting and obstructing a police officer, was later released on his own recognizance. "As the officers attempted to escort him out, he went limp and continued to refuse to cooperate with officers or leave the building," Greenstein said. Instead, Greenstein said, Tabatabainejad encouraged others at the library to join his resistance. When a crowd began to gather the police used the stun gun on him. The arrest was captured on another student's camera phone and showed Tabatabainejad screaming while on the floor of the computer lab. The video also showed the student shouting, "Here's your Patriot Act, here's your ... abuse of power," according to the campus newspaper, the Daily Bruin. There is no phone listing for Tabatabainejad and neither he nor his attorney could be located for comment.

Lol. Putting YOU at risk? You are NOT that important. You are just an average asshole that did not even read the description. They asked him to identify himself and all he was doing was reading. So... Learn to read and learn to listen. And your common sense blows.

worst part is the end. the guard says: "back off or you're gonna get tazed too."

how can you entice somebody to stand up by incapacitating them? Or is this the logic of the American police force...

Ok, so considering the number of school massacres there have been, when a man who refuses to identify himself and refuses to leave is causing a scene, what would you want the police to do? Me? I'd tell them to taze the dumb fucker. He has no right to be a dick and put me at risk. While he's causing a scene, and distracting the police, a real madman could be hurting people elsewhere. Typical student mob mentality "the system is out to get us for no reason" bullcrap.

Hahaha, the little turd deserved it for being confrontational for no reason. Did you listen to him cry afterwards? "I have a medical condition! Boo hoo hoo!" Serves you right for acting like a fucktard. The safety of the other students is more important than your pathetic stunt.
