The back-story.

UPDATE: Thomas Hawk reports on the other side of the story.

Man, so much for the old campus cop cliché: “Stop! Or I’ll say stop again!”

I agree with Navaho — these students are a bunch of bitches. I don’t know how anyone could just stand around and let campus cops do this to another student.

UPDATE: Apparently, UCLA Chancellor Norman Abrams backs the action of his rent-a-thugs.

UPDATE II: It turns out that the abused 23 year-old student, Mostafa Tabatabainejad, is Iranian-American. His lawyer is saying that his American born client was targeted because of his appearance (in the video you can hear Mostafa screaming about the Patriot Act). Meanwhile, UCLA students protested outside the UCLAPD office, demanding accountability for the police abuse.
