Oakland Student Tasered during High School Protest

LaShun Frieson, 16, said two School Resource Officers were trying, unsuccessfully, to wrestle him to the ground and cuff him, prompting one of them to tase him multiple times. The reason for his arrest?

Stepping between the police and his friend, 100-pound Arwa Omar, when an officer went to handcuff her.

The reason for Omar's near-arrest?

As far as I can tell, from the police and students' accounts, it was that she was standing in the street, potentially blocking traffic, and declaring she wouldn't go back to school until the officers freed another student from the back of a patrol car (which they did, ultimately).
