What The Fuck Happened At UCLA?

Keith Olbermann is talking about the case of cops on UCLA campus, when conducting a random ID check of students at the library there, found a student of Middle Eastern descent who could not immediately produce his UCLA ID card, and then repeatedly tasered this student. Even one taser hit can be dangerous. Multiple taser applications is seriously contraindicated.

Then, when other students came forward to demand the badge numbers of the cops, they were threatened with tasering if they didn't shut up and get out.

I don't see this story up yet on The Countdown site on MSNBC, but here's video and information on the incident from the LA Times.
