UF Student tasered at John Kerry Speech

Wtf? What do you guys think of this? Even though the kid was being a smartass and disrespectful that's still no reason to taser him...they could've just escorted him out...

I would have just turned off the microphone.

How did he provoke them by wanting to finish his question?

 

By talking too long?

 

his entire action to ask the governor a question...like a rebel in ahostile government....running away from police...all this was staged. What a sore looser.

 

He didn't break any laws...even if he was talking too long you can't arrest someone for that...John Kerry even instructed them to "let him finish" instead they decided to arrest him...how are the police in the right this time?

 

1) The police are always right
2) Government above all else
3) He is a provocator and an attention seeker
4) His actions were to violate the vicinity of which he is not part of


He should be deported, jailed, trialed, sentenced.

 

Yeah, all praise the police state, the totalitarian government we've become, its the system that Saddam had when was in power...

 

Saddam has been controlled by groups of religious fanatics.

 

A good American analogy between an official of government, law enforcers, a "normal" citizen-turned-delinquent, and a community of "normal" potentially delinquent citizens: all four groups were ridiculously and incredulously and embarrassingly helpless with each other: they blew everything out of proportion. Poof.

 

These are 'toy cops', and the female sounds like she is screaming do it now(taser him now)...Even bouncers in an after hours club would do a better job of ejecting someone.

 

That's what I mean: she and her co-workers seemed just as much on edge and incompetent and nervous as the perpetrator and the rest of the auditorium.

 

Freedom of speech.

 

apparently it only applies when noone else has to hear what you've got to say anymore

 

Wow, that's seriously fucked up. Sure the guy's question is a little long, but he had every right to be upset about getting his mike cut off and being ushered out against his will. Kerry should have at least spoken up for him and told the "cops" to let him go. If I were in the audience, I would have incited everyone to surround the cops and demand his immediate release.

 

Unfortunately they are not "toy cops." University police departments generally recruit from the regular police forces and since they often pay better they usually get the better officers from those police forces. In some states, I'm not sure if FL is one, they actually are state police. So this really reflects on the sorry state of cops all over (not the sorry state of security guards).

 

1st time i watched it i was overwhelmed by a complete feeling of schadenfreude. but primal reactions aside, there were a million better ways to take care of that kid.

cutting off the mike is one. the other was to let Kerry respond. though from the video you can see that the kid is a bit "special" -- letting him vent wouldn't calm him down. he'd get excited by the fact that he's got his own audience and he'd have kept going, just as he kept going for a long 7 minute rant preceding to his tasing.

 

That kid better be jailed for this. Action against the police is a serious offense. And it is clear he is a provocator dramatic, what a sore looser and a future convict. Trial and convict him immedeatly.

 

Would you have? Then you would probably have looked forward to spending a number of years in prison, even after the kid who was tasered walked. I think Americans are generally afraid of cops and with good reason.

Kerry was trying to say that they should let him go and he would respond to the question, but the cops aren't going to bother listening to him either and they certainly aren't going to listen to some college kids in the audience. It is good though that someone taped it since that will probably result in them losing their jobs as well as the school paying some serioud cash to the kid who was abused by the cops.
