If this drunk red-neck can take it 5 times, don’t you think that whiny Iranian UCLA student could handle it?

JEFF FOXWORTHY?
the student DID leave what happened was that
the police barely gave him a chance and not only did they tazer the student, but they THREATENED to tazer anyone else who would get close and stand up to him. WATCH T HE VIDEO
AND GET THE FACTS

I condemn the act of the officers and I believe it was not necessary to go that far.
They could have handed it much better without harassing him.

However, I was reading Quran and here is a little advice for Mostafa (who was tazered) and all of us.

“The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allah orders the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly) then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.” (41, 34)

I know that this is hard especially at the situations like what Mostafa experienced that couldn’t control his anger as Quran also refers to this as follows:

“But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient – and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness in the Hereafter i.e. Paradise and of a high moral character) in this world.” (41, 35)

May Allah give this quality, increase kindness and friendship between all of us and enter us to his Paradise.

To be back on topic, I didn’t hear any updates on this case, I wonder if the revealed cop was charged with anything. Considering his history, I should hope so.

Tazers.

We’re here to talk about tazers. Stop being so goddamned dramatic.

I hope some good comes out of this as well, but it won’t be from this discussion, I’m sure.

No actually, this discussion was saved in PDF format and faxed to the president’s office. Didn’t you know? UCLA changed its security policies because of this very discussion. Praise be to Allah! We have succeeded.

I’m sure you’ll get real far in life as you wait for the courts to make a decision. I’m going to pray for you tonight,

Are you making an extra effort to be hilarious here?

Your very irrelevent post that also makes no freakin’ sense is in violation of our new comment policy. If you don’t want to talk about an Iranian-American student who was tazed at UCLA, don’t post in this thread, or your comments will be deleted.

Thanks.

Now go save the world or whatever it is you do in your free time.

No need for a comment policy, I’ll just come back in a year after to see how far along you’ve come with your discussion. You put it best, what was it you said?

“There’s a law suit. That means you patiently wait and see what happens, you don’t harrass people on the phone and complain especially if you don’t have much of a connection to the incident.”

I’m sure you’ll get real far in life as you wait for the courts to make a decision. I’m going to pray for you tonight, that you don’t become one of those people that just likes to hear themselves talk. You talk about wanting to discuss things but yet you don’t answer any of the questions I honestly had. Ie. an example in the complete history of our planet that anyone asked others to “join your resistance” when they were leaving an area, or Jina, Can you send me a link to a message board were you really let them have it or do you agree with the way they treat their women? Message 123

A comment policy page is in order.

Americans have the freedom to act and increase awareness on shitty policies. We in the Middle East do not have that – so don’t come here and ask us to do things millions of Americans can do themselves. It would help a lot if people read the mission statement before complaining about the way we handle things. Furthermore – why am I talking about this in a thread about a tazed student? I knew someone would write a comment that would totally change the direction of this otherwise good and healthy discussion.

The problem is that if you delete the irrelevant comments, its writers accuse you of limiting “freedom of speech” and thus you must be a hypocrite.

Sigh.

A comment policy page is in order.

Stick to the topic, or stop writing irrelevant comments while pretending to be the Gandhi of the Internet.

Sheesh.

I don’t know where most of you are from, but I find it rather sad that you don’t feel you can make a positive change. Perhaps your afraid of jail time if you try to do anything more then “discuss things”. In America, if you take issue with something, you write or call those that have the power and you express your feelings. If you ever get the chance, watch the movie Pay it Forward, one person can make a positive change.

Good Luck with just your discussion

I’m not saying what he did was right. Where did I say that the kid shouldn’t cooperate?

My main argument is that the reaction from the cops was completely unnecessary and over-done.

One of the cops has a history of reacting with brutality. Read the recent reports, he has abused his powers before and has been fired and suspended as a result of both cases, and these are only the things that we know of. Judging from his history, I assume he got away with many similar incidents.

The library is & remains the property of UCLA & it’s highly likely that it will be stated in the Universities Regulations that students in areas such as the library after hours will have to have id on them else for all the police & security know it could be a trespasser.

What some people are also misunderstanding is that as the student was leaving already, it’s the cops fault. Cause he was on his way out so why’d they stop him. It’s simple.

Security asks a person in the library after hours for id, the person doesn’t have any. At that point the security guard for whatever reason (possibly because the guy wouldn’t leave) goes & brings other officers.
At this point it doesn’t matter if he’s leaving or staying, the officers HAVE THE RIGHT to detain him & find out what he’s doing there without ID. For all they know he could be there doing something illegal etc.

In the end if he hadn’t acted like such an idiot starting to shout & scream let go of me dont touch me, he wouldn’t have been tazed. He would simply have been escorted somewhere else & questioned etc.

Simple.
