Sacramento Bee: UCLA sets Taser probe
An independent investigation by a well-known police monitor will be conducted into UCLA police use of a Taser gun on a student from Sacramento.
Acting Chancellor Norman Abrams announced Friday that attorney Merrick Bobb would investigate the use of the stun gun on Mostafa Tabatabainejad, a 23-year-old Eastern studies student.
Police said they used the weapon after Tabatabainejad refused to show his identification card to campus authorities at a UCLA library and refused to cooperate with campus police.
UCLA officials said they require students to show ID cards to use the campus library after 11 p.m. to ensure students’ safety.
