Not being a lawyer and never having been arrested, I just want to ask if the guy has a right to know why he was being arrested - if he really was being arrested?

I'm also wondering why the hell he was arrested for going over his time. Is that standard procedure at university forums these days? |

In this case, it seems to me that being expelled from a building is not the same as being arrested. The student was free to leave (actually was "strongly encouraged" to leave). Feel free to correct me if I am wrong (likely). Edit: post # 150. I am on a distinguished road. You all love me, you really love me!!! Last edited by Lost Student; 09-19-2007 at 10:19 PM. |

I thought it was hilarious. The guy clearly meant to be as disruptive as possible, and when the forces that be finally decided they'd had enough, he flew out of control.
Notice how he was on his stomach/face, ready to be cuffed, and then he tried to get up again and continued fighting. They even warned him that he was going to be tazed if he didn't quit. The guy got exactly what was coming to him. Notice how cooperative he was after a few jolts. Still noisy, but cooperative. Heh. Too funny. PS. Now I'm waiting for non seq to accuse me of happily beating people to a bloody pulp. Toss in "you're a murderer" too, if it makes you feel better.

The officer doesn't really have to say anything to you other than to identify himself and command you to submit to his authority. Folks, when the police want to arrest you, shut your mouth and comply. I'm the last guy to be for police brutality, but when someone gets their ass whipped by the police, 99.9999% of the time they've earned it. In fact, in my experience the police usually show a lot more restraint that you might think.

For the record, I have no problem with the way he was treated, as he seemed to have been as uncooperative as he could. And having a brother-in-law who is a cop, I agree with you that cops do show a lot more restraint than what people think. He's told me about a few arrests he's made and I wondered how he didn't just beat the guy to a pulp.

Thoughts from an LAPD officer.
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q...RmZDBlNGQ3NWI= I learned for the first time this morning that (1) the officers did not move in of their own accord, but bidden school officials/event organizers and (2) as soon as he was out of sight of the camera, he became quite docile and agreeable.
