anysiaUCLA Students Demonstrate Against UCPD Taser Use
It’s beginning to feel a lot like a UC again on campus. For the first time in years, UCLA students threw down their books and returned to their activist roots by staging a major demonstration this afternoon. Students have been shocked and frustrated by the recent tasering of a UCLA student by UCPD officers at the student library, and it has grown to the point where many are feeling the need to voice their frustration to the masses. There have been many student demonstrations here in the past couple of years, but not many on this scale
It is way past time for everyone, not just students, to question authoritarianism, and this brownshirt regime that has been created by the current political power. Use that 1st amendment right.
