Does anybody know if the UCLA student who was tasered by the police was hit with the prongs?

Question

Did they shoot him with the darts or did they just use it like a stun gun?

I don't think he got the darts but he deserved them.

Zeb - Your training to be a cop and you don't think these officers were wrong. Good luck out there if you ever find a job.

Zeb - What I meant was your training to be a cop and you think what these officers did was wrong. Good luck out there if you get hired somewhere. In other words the officers did nothing wrong.

Answer 1

Here's an excerpt from MSNBC news archive:

"A camera phone captured a University of California, Los Angeles student being shot with a stun gun by a police officer after he allegedly refused repeated requests to show his student identification and would not leave a campus library, university police said Wednesday."

I hope that answers your question.

Answer 2

Judging by the video he was hit by the darts. He probably should have complied rather than invoking rights that he only thinks he has but dont actually exist. The cops can also be faulted, because after 2 or 3 shocks they should have just picked him up and used physical techniques rather than repeating something that obviously wasnt working.....simple 3 step rule, 1...Ask the person to comply, 2..tell the person to comply, 3.. Make the person comply.....I dont know why they only used the taser as there or more compliance techniques than that......And no, it doesnt hurt that bad, I had to get tasered in the academy. ANd no it doesnt cause death unless there is a preexisting medical condition....Thats a verifiable fact.

Asker, I AM a cop. I didnt say they were wrong, I just would have been standing there begging that twerp for that long. After a few dont work, cuff him and drag him out. Dont sit there repeating yourself...I never argue or plead with a perp, if they dont do as I order, I make them, its that simple.
