The media office apparently gave me an email address that bounced
([email protected]), so I've included a different one in this  
email.

I called UCLA ( media relations office - +1-310-825-2585 ) and they
pointed me to a press release by the police themselves:

When I voiced my concern about how the student was treated and that I
felt the officers should be dismissed, I was informed that it would be
prudent to write the UCLA chancellor ([email protected] ).
