Increase in knowledge, increase in sorrow

The Finnish police upgraded their kit quite recently with Tasers; here you can see -or hear, in fact- how they work in action.

Soon it'll be coming also to Europe, that Homeland Security. So try to remember your student id and don't grow too attached to your library. It'll be good for your health.

The UCLA student paper, a week ago:

At around 11:30 p.m., CSOs asked a male student using a computer in the back of the room to leave when he was unable to produce a BruinCard during a random check. The student did not exit the building immediately. ... As the student was screaming, UCPD officers repeatedly told him to stand up and said "stop fighting us." The student did not stand up as the officers requested and they shot him with the Taser at least once more.
