"At around 11:30 p.m., CSOs asked a male student using a computer in the back of the room to leave when he was unable to produce a BruinCard during a random check. The student did not exit the building immediately.

The CSOs left, returning minutes later, and police officers arrived to escort the student out. By this time the student had begun to walk toward the door with his backpack when an officer approached him and grabbed his arm, at which point the student told the officer to let him go. A second officer then approached the student as well. "


the police told him to do something and he didn't. the best thing you can do is go a long with it even if you think it is wrong and then fight it in court. unless of course you want to get tased/knocked down/thrown around/ect and cuffed. the get was on something, did it intentionally in an attempt to be a martyr, or is trying to make a statement and get attention.

also i am not defending the cops neccesarly, it seems they were a bit excessive, BUT it is the kids fault for not doing as he was told. if he hadn't trespassed he wouldn't have been in that situation. if he had left when told he wouldn't have been in that situation. if he hadn't thrown a bitch fit he wouldn't have been in that situation. if he had stood up or made an effort to stand up he wouldn't have been in that situation.

they could have cuffed him and walked him out but the video is not clear, so we are not able to tell if there was a reason for the cops to precieve a threat from him, or if he was making it dificult for them to cuff him.


p.s. that's a freakin nice camera phone with a butt load of memory.
