Police brutality – an email from Jason E. (spoon)

A great but disturbing email sent by my friend Jason E. (spoon): November 14th, 2006: A student is tasered five times while in police custody while in the library at UCLA. The cops tase him, not because he’s fighting them, but because he is (non-violently) refusing to walk out of the library with them.  Note that the cop says, “Stand up or you’ll get tased again.”  Of anything on this video that comment really sickens me the most.

Praise to Alan

I would like to take a moment and give praise to Alan. For those who know him, know that he is awesomely quicky, white and nerdy. It gets better when you live with him! I have come home after a bad day several times this quarter, and he has cleaned. We’re not talking just dishes – we’re talkin dishes, sweeping, mopping, cat box, laundry, the whole nine yards. He does these things even though he’s been working all day and probably hasn’t had a much better day than I have.
