Corrine writes "A student was asked to present ID in the Powell Library computer lab. Upon his failure to do so, he was asked to leave and did not immediately do so. Police Officers were called in, and as he was leaving, he was grabbed and tasered. The entire incident was caught on a video camera phone. You can read the full story and see the video here." Video also at YouTube. Aside from the funny home videos and show clips, YouTube has made news before for exposing (POSSIBLE) police brutality and intimidation (or even JiffyLube antics). The University of California Police Department said: "All use of force incidents require an administrative review, which is currently under way."
