UCLA police repeatedly taser a muslim student in a campus library

[John Dibble]

Ok, first off I'd like more information on the incident before I'll make a judgement call - I can't tell from that poorly done video what exactly caused the altercation to begin with. It seems to me that the student was being very hostile to the police, and that other students were making the situation worse by getting in their faces. I also didn't hear where it was mentioned he was a muslim, btw.

...

Ok, after looking it up, here's what actually happened - campus police were doing a routine ID check at 11 pm. Mostafa Tabatabainejad was asked to show his ID multiple times, and when he refused he was asked to leave, to which he also refused. There are conflicting details on what happened after that, but basically the cops tried to physically escort him out and that's when the whole fracas happened. The police possibly did overreact, but it seems to me the student did everything he could to exacerbate the situation.

Good for the police.

I personally am a traditionalist.  We should go back to doing this to the Catholics.

You call yourself a traditionalist? Then I must be some sort of uber-traditionalist. I say we should go back to doing this to the Jews!

As long as we have some group to arbitrarily persecute, I can feel secured in my masculinity.

You raise a good point - and all things considered, it may be best to persecute Asians. If we punish them by parading their men around naked, we'll feel very secure in our masculity simply by comparison.
