Can't really see anything in the video, I gave up after about two minutes.

As in most videos of police actions though we do not see what prompted the police appearance. I am sure we will hear more about this, but bottom line is, if you do what you are told you usually do not get hurt.

One mind full of mush that met irrevocable authority.

Civil rights are a luxury available only to those who comply in the face of the cover of uniform.

This video should be required viewing for all high school graduates headed to a post secondary, educational facility.

Two comments:

1) The bystanders are 6-year-olds in 20-year-old bodies

2) The person taking the video is an imbecile

Right...another student just happened to have a video camera on him or her? They really weren't expecting to have anything to video. Just a coincidence. Smells like a setup to me.

After the 37th "Stand Up" I quit the video. As others have said, obey the police and you won't have a problem. Resist them and you are going to be in a world of hurt.

Usual suspects.

CAIR-LA CALLS FOR PROBE OF UCLA TASER INCIDENT

Student given multiple stun gun shocks by campus police

(ANAHEIM, CA, 11/16/06) - The Southern California office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today called for an independent investigation of an incident late Tuesday in which a student at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) was given multiple “Taser” stun gun shocks by campus police.

CAIR-LA was contacted by several UCLA students who expressed their concern about possible civil rights violations by police officers.

The incident began when the student, Mostafa Tabatabainejad, was asked to leave a computer lab after he failed to produce a student ID during a random check. The entire incident was captured on video by another student. While being stunned, Tabatabainejad informed the officers he had a medical condition.

Seems to be justified, the youngster had a weapon of mass delusion.

How many times should a cop have to say, "Stand up" before the fool has to either comply or be zapped?

The fool was trying to be a martyr...he was just a fool.

Talk about Drama Queens. This kid obviously thinks its OK to tell Police to F-Off and disobey their orders. Furthermore, the same thing would happen to you before the patriot act. What a left wing loser..

From what I can glean from the tape, the incident seems to have been poorly handled by the police officers (campus police are sworn law enforcement officers with full powers of arrest). It appeared at least three officers were present. The subject was handcuffed. The proper level of force would have been to drag the subject from the library premises and into a police car. Three officers should have been enough to accomplish that.

At around the five minute mark on the tape, we see the subject in handcuffs and the officers expressing frustration that he would not "get up." We then see him tased. But a tasing is all about getting a subject on the ground, not compelling him to rise to his feet. It's about subduing a subject, not making him mobile.

A taser should only be used if a subject poses a combative threat prior to being handcuffed, so that officers can immobilize him and handcuff him. From what I can see on the tape, it doesn't look like that was the case here.

These officers better hope they have some friendly witnesses in the crowd, and a convincing justification for the actions they took.

I'm really disappointed at some of the comments here and on Freerepublic in general lately....

No one deserves to be tazed 5 times for not standing up.....what would the cops have done if they didn't have tazers? Carried him out...of course...

I don't care what his name was..he shouldn't have been there but that doesn't give anyone the right to abuse him that way...

Some of you sound like you wouldn't be bothered if the cops had killed him just because he was in the wrong place and wouldn't stand up...

Just because they are cops doesn't give them the right to do what ever they want to do.....I don't care if it was a non-student on campus....

Drag him to jail, deport him, keep him in jail for a year.....but to seriously hurt him because he doesn't stand is just beyond the pale...

The later portion of the video sounds exactly like Art Bell's famous "drillhole to hell" audio clip.
