The price of education?

[drusillamac]

I originally saw this video posted on kensei's journal. It shows a student being tasered by security staff at a university library. Apparently it is policy for people to be IDed in the library after 11pm for the safety of the students.

Personally I'm wondering if this incident would have happened if the student was white. Or female for that matter.

Fuck...I'm actually shaking after that. Fuck...I can't even think of what to say, my god.

I agree it wouldn't have happened if he were female, but I don't know if I agree with saying it wouldn't have happened if he were white - one of the officers was black & another looked oriental. And at the end you here one of the white students being told he'd get it if he didn't back up.

God, that was just fucking horrible. Really, there is nothing that excuses that, especially not in the context of where he was or what he was doing. That's just the most horrific thing I've seen in a long time.
