That's awful... inexcusable

but not typical. Creating a general trend out of it is, I think, a bit of a stretch.

of course

but if people just let it happen, then we may see repeated cases.

I guess, but there's paranoia in that logic:

if *anything* happens once, it could become a pattern. I'd hate to give in to a fear of everything (which seems to be an American thing to do these days).

I'm guessing that they won't get away with it. It was filmed, it's all over the web, a bunch of students saw it and complained directly... some of them will file official complaints. And now the media is on the story. And LA police are already under a microscope.

It's not even the LA police.

UCLA stands for University of California in Los Angeles. The article is very poorly written, as these are just campus security guards, not real policemen.

not true

Police officers of the UCLA Police Department are duly sworn peace officers under section 830.2(b) of the California Penal Code. The officers of the department are armed and possess the same authority under the law as municipal police officers.
