Celeste Fremon asks if the LAPD went too far in breaking up a USC block party over the weekend. There were thrown bottles, a tactical alert and Tasering:

Did the LAPD use excessive force at a USC block party this past Friday night? Or were officers simply doing what needed to be done to control a bunch of drunken and rowdy college students who were getting out of control?

The answer may be somewhere in between. But information available thus far suggests the behavior of the police bears further scrutiny.
