I’m glad the campus rent-a-cops did not have handguns. At least now Tabatabainejad can take UCLA to court – it doesn’t have to be his parents or wife. This case was reported on technology writer John Dvorak’s blog, where comments ran from “he deserved it” to “some campus cops are about to be fired.” Constitutional questions were not first on anybody’s mind, it seems.
