Muslim Provokes Taser Incident at UCLA
by James Buchanan
Recently, a Muslim student, Mostafa Tabatabainejad, was using a computer at Powell Library at UCLA. He refused to show his ID to campus police during a routine late night check. More police showed up and Mostafa reportedly provoked the police and ignored their instructions. The police then tasered him. The fact that someone made a video of the police shocking him suggests that it may have been a pre-planned incident. There are lots of far left organizations on campus who have nothing better to do than provoke incidents like this. His shouting about the “Patriot Act” added to the suspicion that the incident was pre-planned.
An L.A. Times article reports “According to a campus police report, the incident began when community service officers, who serve as guards at the library, began their nightly routine of checking to make sure everyone using the library after 11 p.m. is a student or otherwise authorized to be there. Campus officials said the long-standing policy was adopted to ensure students’ safety. When Tabatabainejad, 23, refused to provide his ID to the community service officer, the officer told him he would have to show it or leave the library, the report said. After repeated requests, the officer left and returned with campus police, who asked Tabatabainejad to leave “multiple times,” according to a statement by the UCLA Police Department. ‘He continued to refuse,’ the statement said. ‘As the officers attempted to escort him out, he went limp and continued to refuse to cooperate with officers or leave the building.’ Witnesses disputed that account, saying that when campus police arrived, Tabatabainejad had begun to walk toward the door with his backpack. When an officer approached him and grabbed his arm, the witnesses said, Tabatabainejad told the officer to let go, yelling ‘Get off me’ several times.”
First of all, Mostafa should not be in this country. Second of all, he’s an idiot. It’s just plain stupid to provoke police no matter what country you’re in. Perhaps he’s some spoiled brat from the Persian upper class and he thinks he can treat American police as if they’re servants, who showed up late with dinner. (more…)
