“…don’t taze me BRO!…”
“why are you arresting me?”
and “i don’t want to be tazed - please don’t taze me bro…”
and “what did i do?”
All of these very correct questions to ask when in this exact situation … HA - but not if you don’t want to get tazed!!! Watch how the COPS respond to his questions…
Even IF he was badgering John Kerry with ‘weird’ questions like - “…isn’t it true you were in the same secret society…” and so on - which he obviously wasn’t (listen to kerry say something to the degree of “let me answer his questions…everyone settle down”) 6 cops, guns and tazers SHOULD HARDLY be the first attempt to a solution in a situation like this.
WTF? and how did he get charged for disrupting a public event??? did anybody hear the crowd? they were cheering for him - and i’ll bet a dollar that everyone in that crowd wanted to hear all the answers to the questions he asked. that shit is simply twisted and backwards.
and i’m spent

This is a pretty misleading clip. The dude had been going off for a few minutes (students were asked to limited their questions to one) and was asking question after question without allowing Kerry a chance to respond. And the crowd was cheering at him being removed.
That said, I will agree that the officers probably could’ve gotten by without tasering him, although they were well within their authority to do so, as he was clearly resisting arrest.
And for what it’s worth, I lol’d.

yes - misleading - possibly true. i’ve even heard the kid staged and planned for this exact scenario.
however, i still give props to the KID as he didn’t do anything OUTRAGEOUS - annoying maybe - but not outrageous. COPS on the other hand - still could have handled the situation a lot better than they did…
of course they were well within their authority - cops are in authority to do whatever they want and get backed by the bigger institution for any given situation.
i would be resisting arrest too if i new they were acting as bullies rather than good stewards of the law - remember the part about protecting? and keeping peace? pshaaaaa…. shit is still crooked.

oh, and i’ve been laughing my ass off over the whole thing too - you know this is all just part of how we keep our frivolous daily life going round and round…
September 20th, 2007 at 5:08 pm
i still want to hear the answers to the questions the kid asked - anybody else? or did everyone just want him tazed off stage?
