So are we now living in Nazi Germany where if you don't provide an ID, you get handcuffed and tasered?

Did they have taser guns back in the 1930's and 1940's???

Most cops are insecure pindicks and campus police are the worst, that has nothing to do with the patriot act. Just another example of the wrong people being hired as police.

I dont see how that had anything at all to do with the Patriot Act.

I dont question that there are abuses of the Patriot Act (such as the couple last week potentially being charged as terrorists for fooling around on a Southwest Airlines flight), but I dont see that UCLA incident as at all relevant.

I dont think the Patriot Act is an issue here. That was just the kid yelling some shit out to protest. As to the way police behaved, clearly unnecessary and abusive.
