[QUOTE]Originally posted by permanentjaun: [QB] Video doesn't show much about what was happening before the taser. The question that needs to be answered is what would have happened if he had simply cooperated. Would he just have been kicked out of the library since he had no ID? He stereotyped himself by immediately saying they were treating him differently because of his ethnicity. He gave them reason to believe he was doing something wrong by not cooperating with them. All he had to do was do as they said from the very beginning. If you're not supposed to be in the library after 11 without an ID then don't be in the library after 11 without an ID. If he had an ID, then show your ID. It's as simple as that. Don't give other people a reason to mistreat you. If after he had showed an ID they still tried to kick him out for no reason then go right ahead and protest. He gave the police an out by not cooperating with him. Do I think what the police did was excessive, maybe. The police are allowed to use force that common citizens are not allowed because their job is prevent people from becoming victims. He was obviously yelling and enraged. People make stupid decisions when the adreneline is running high. They took him down by taser to prevent the chance of him using adrenaline fueled force against the officers. I couldn't see if he was handcuffed when he was on the ground or not. I would assume so. If someone is worth getting tasered then they're probably worth getting handcuffed. In this aspect the cops probably did use excessive force. All they had to do after the initial taser was carry him out even if he was not standing up as requested. No use in tasering someone who is already beaten down. My point is it all could have been prevented if the kid was just smart enough to show his ID. He is at fault for that. The cops used excessive force after he was cuffed and tasered initially. They're wrong in that aspect. The kid will probably win because of the excessive force, but I will say I don't like the kid because of his stubborn stupidity. The cops may have stereotyped, but all because you're Iranian doesn't mean you can't go to the library. If you have the correct ID or documents to show you are allowed in the library then show them and beat the cops by legally being allowed to stay there. It's like a little cat walking in front of 10 angry dogs from behind a fence. The cat can be pompous knowing the dogs can't do anything. The kid probably would win more in court, as well as prison time for the cops if he just cooperated and they still continued with the force. I have no pity for the kid. Matt [/QB][/QUOTE]
