Poor kid. Dumb kid, but poor kid. Do what the cops want. Sue them later.

Eh, I'm all about freedom of speech and all, but the kid was being disruptive. I imagine if he hadn't been asking the question like he was ready to start an uprising, they probably wouldn't have started to escort him away. And if he hadn't tried to resist arrest, he wouldn't get tazed. He seems like a dumb mama's boy who didn't know what he was getting into by behaving the way he did. If you hear Kerry in the background, he actually was trying to address the question. Free speech is a very precious asset, I agree, but if you're going to act like an ass, you can't expect people to not react. Personally, I would have liked to see it go down more like this.

you can do or say anything you want, just remember there will be reprecussions.
ie: you are more than welcome to stop using toilet paper, but believe you me there will be serious reprecussions to follow.
Should have asked about his helmet hair or something to see the dot rating lol

All this site looks like is a anti law enforcement site, most all the stories I saw on there were cop does this cop does that....anti law enforcement maybe?
Didnt even bother to goto the other site as Im sure it probably the same sort of stuff.

Although the man was a little odd, and definitely was being disruptive, the use of a taser and the force of 6 cops was ridiculous, university of Florida has since put a number of them on leave. I was appaled by the video and by the use of "Non-lethal" by cops in many places. Police brutality has been a major issue where I live, in Portland OR for many years. Especially with the mentally ill, or just generally off their rocker. I hope that some people can learn from this.

The man needs to keep my throws down before i can worry about my scores.
It seems no one has asked this question: IF Kerry was so intune with the american people to want to be their leader and remember he is a war HERO ( ), why didnt he stop this? Isn't he a US Senator, one who is supposed to fight for our constitutional rights? Why didn't he come to the aid of the dumb ass in the back who, inevertantly, was hooked upto the juice (repeatedly). I mean wasn't he a protestor and a loud mouth back in the day? He never got juiced by the man...... wait did he give the signal to juice this college kid?
Kerry is a fool, who couldnt keep control of an auditorium, what in world was he thinking wanting to control our country?
And of course this is IMO only.

How is a taser a "non nonlethal" weapon? I dont see this kid dead in the video, quite the contrary he sounds very much alive?
While I do agree with you that not all cops are good, the vast majority of them ARE.
Problem is the media (and beleive me I have my issues with main stream media) only shows you the BAD of the world. Some dude guns a person down its news, some dude does something good, they dont even bother looking at it.....main stream media sucks, honeslty most media sucks...
