Let's see more of this… Police taser UCLA student for behaving like a jackass.  My God, this cannot happen often enough.  Do you have any idea how happy it makes me to watch a black cop taser a college student who is being a huge, whiny baby and screaming "This is an abuse of power!"  (No, it's the violence inherent in the system.)  And just when you think this story can't get better, there's a hilarious video.  Screams of anguish never sounded so beautiful.

What makes this even better?  His name is Mostafa Tabatabainejad, hereafter to be spelled Mustafa and depicted wearing a fez as the Austin Powers character with a word balloon reading, "Oh, the pain is really quite severe!"  Although American (Iranian-American to those who celebrate such details) he was apparently convinced that being asked to show his student ID at the library was an example of, yes, diabolical ethnic profiling, and thought that the best way to deal with this would be by refusing to obey library policy.  As he was being tormented by the police while other students watched in apathy he actually whined, "Am I the only martyr?" following the longstanding tradition of university students who have the mistaken impression that anyone cares.  The only thing missing from the video is a laughtrack.  It is great fun to listen to Mustafa's idiotic shrieks.

Of course this wouldn't be an American university if the professors and parents of this spoiled little asshole didn't band together to decry the incident – that is, the use of the taser on the bratty Mustafa, not the nauseatingly childish behavior of a 23-year-old who thinks rules don't apply to him because he knows how to call people racist.  He is now suing because that is just what you do when you are a spoiled little asshole.

All college students should be tasered on the first day of orientation to break them in, and all UCLA students should receive a weekly taser enema if overheard using the expressions "abuse of power", "Patriot Act", or "civil rights" at any point in their school careers.  (Mustafa babbled something about the Patriot Act which of course has nothing to do with unhappy university students who have been coddled their whole lives and subsequently refuse to follow library rules.)

Remember, as Maddox says, "Civil disobedience is still disobedience."  Thank you, Andrea.
