"People were asking for the "police's" information immediately after a taser was used."
And these people were threatened too. With arrest and/or having the
taser used on them. If I'm not mistaken, pretty much everywhere you
go, if you ask a police officer for their ID (ie. badge number) they *must*
give it. There is no choice in the matter for them. If they don't, it is
akin to "impersonating a police officer."
" I don't know if this is racial profiling or not, I don't know if we'll ever know
that."
According to the students lawyer, in the Olbermann interview above,
the student asked that other "white" students also be asked for id,
so that he could be happy that this was not racial profiling. He then
packed up, and was actually leaving when the police showed up.
He then went limp as a form of protest when they grabbed him.
Also, he was taken to the police station, then released. Wouldn't you
think that someone that needed to be tasered *five* times would be
held for a bit??
