Tasered student claims racial profiling

A student of Iranian Descent was tasered at the library at UCLA. After he refused to show his ID because he thought he was being profiled. This sparked protests.

A student recorded the incident on his/her camera phone, you can see the video here.


This brings up the following issues:
1. Are students racially profiled by campus police?
2. Was the force used neccessary?
3. What are the students protesting?

Prehistoric Park

Prehistoric Park is a show on the Animal Planet TV channel. I first came across this show while channel surfing a couple weeks ago. It is about Zoologists who go back in time to find out what prehistoric animals are like. By bringing them back to the future, to their animal sanctuary in Africa. Where they then make observations and conclusions about what the animals are like. From the Computer simulated animals. It is kind of like making up imaginary people and coming up with reasons for the things that they do.

I tuned in halfway through an episode where they were trying to find out why their woolly mammoth wasn't eating. After getting grass samples from the ice age, they concluded that the Woolly Mammoth was lonely.
