Tasered UCLA student retains prominent civil rights lawyer, plans massive law suit

Good for him. It's about time we took back our country. In America we don't taser people for not having IDs in a school library. We don't taser people for civil disobedience - i.e., sitting on the floor when you ask them to leave. We don't taser people for simply being a jerk. Civil rights exist for a reason - they exist to protect you especially when the authorities think you're being a jerk. UCLA just embarrassed itself in front of the entire world. How the administration responds to this incident will affect its reputation for decades to come.

More info here, including a student-shot video of the incident.
