I believe, if I recall correctly, that he refused to leave before the tape started rolling, then started throwing a tantrum, then the recording starts and then what we see is 'unnecessary force'. This video is completely slanted to cause the reactions many of you are having (screw The Man, abuse of power, student did nothing wrong etc etc.).

from what i've heard was that he was leaving, the copped put his hands on him while he was leaving which caused him to get irate. whether or not that was the correct reaction is up to interpretation. however, i highly doubt the person videotaping this from a camera phone had the ulterior motive of painting the police in a poor fashion.

It's not a camera phone, the quality is too good. I don't doubt he was trying to show the police in a poor light at all. In my experience, most college students despise the police. I don't.

"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. "

"Video shot from a student's camera phone captured the student yelling, "Here's your Patriot Act, here's your fucking abuse of power," while he struggled with the officers"

quality too good, huh?


yea, i'm sure that the guy videotaping it from a camera phone sure was thinking "lemme get this so i can get back at the cops."

uhhhh.........

Agreed. UCLA's campus-Rent-a-cop-America's-Finest should be sued. Period.
