These were campus cops, but they have some authority. I got a jaywalking ticket for walking on my own campus one day! These cops were pigs and I hope they get what should properly be coming to them. The kid forgot his ID--big deal. I have posted on the Huffington Post, and I will probably write the Chancellor. I was active in alumni activities there...

The Daily Bruin provides the following report

Think the wingnut neocons don't have colleges seeded with their addled offspring? Here's a student columnist from the school paper weighing in on the outrage:

Things have certainly changed since the 60's and 70's.... :(

what a bloody outrage!!...student bodies/organisations on NZ campuses are very political..and very powerful..and very inclined to the left....that sort of shit wouldn`t wash down here....here in NZ it would be all over the media..the politically correct/human rights/civil liberties brigade would be screaming....the cop would have lost his job and would at this moment probably be having the arse sued off him....

The cops will lose their jobs. The university will get sued. The student will win. He was a victim of racial profiling in my mind. Whether or not he had his student id is immaterial--there were other ways to provide proof of that--and there were about 100 kids or so at the library when the incident happened, and they werent all asked for IDs. WTF are all the campus cops armed with Tasers for anyway? The whole incident is outrageous and I think the bruin reporter is not representative of the campus at large at all

I think he knew exactly what would happen and was angling for it.

I dont think so--I think it was racial profiling.

[Hemoglobin Harry]

On that we're agreed.

But then I can probably guess the greeting I would receive at Stormfront. I believe he knew what would happen if he had no I.D.

Now that the Dems have control, maybe things will loosen up over here...

Here are some Eyewitness Reports and student comments
