Just Clicking........
IMO the kid had what was coming to him. That and being tasered isn't THAT bad. It hurts a lot when it's being done, but it's not like longterm damage. I've had it done to me a couple years ago by my friends..... (which probably didn't have the same power one of those cop ones did) I wonder what they'd do to him in other countries if someone acted like an idiot like that.
I sure would rather catch that taser than get caned or something. lol.
Seriously though, there should be a law called "Don't be a jerk". That's what the kid was, he had a camera guy with him and everything. And he had his own website and pranks. Who has their own website? lol (Besides this one, god bless it)
As a student, I've always felt like this kind of thing at schools is rediculous. It's one thing to have a good time or to say what you want to say, but don't embarass your school. That's what happens when you do so.
And when he was on the ground he knew it was coming, all he had to do is shut up and loosen his hand. Instead he made a spectacle, and so they made a spectacle out of him.
He should suck it up, be a man and stop whining. He's lucky nobody beat him up because after acting like that, that's what i'd have wanted to do. Women get tasered sometimes, and people expect me to feel some sort of sympathy for this guy.........

You got tasered and not stunned right ? Because there is a difference . Speaking from personal experience it hurts like a mother . There is no way you can help from making a sound when you have all of those volts going through your body. A stun gun on the other hand is not that bad and IMO is next to useless unless you already have your victim ..errr...friend in a space where they can get away .

as I said... he was a deuche bag... no doubt about it. But if 5+ cops couldn't handcuff a scrawny terd college student they have something wrong with them. He was not fighting them. Being defiant? Sure... as most people would have been because they really didn't do anything wrong...
Here's the problem though. Sure, those five cops could have overpowered him, but then they ran the risk of breaking his arm.
Now what's worse: Stunning him so that they can get the cuffs on, or snappin' some bones and causing pain and medical expenses, and possibly a lawsuit?
If they'd have roughed him hard to get the cuffs on, this wouldn't be a discussion about cops being too aggressive, it'd be a discussion of pure police brutality.
The cops were well within their rights. They gave him ample opportunty and warning.
As noted, droppin' the F-bombs didn't help. And I have to wonder if he was calling the black cop "Bro" 
This is why I couldn't and shouldn't be a cop. I would have dropped this attention whore. Not only was he making a spectacle of himself but he very well could have been causing a diversion for someone else with bad intentions for Kerry. It is obviously not the case but security personnel have to worry about that as well.

That was a staged act by some attention starved moron....nothing more. He deserved worse than what he got.

He looked like he was about 22 years old... therefore the 2000 election would have happened when he was 15... I doubt he was doing any vigorous campaigning....
actually, it was the '04 election, making him about 19. in other words, prime college liberal know-it-all douche age.

A broken arm is much better than possible death, as tasers have been known to cause. Listen, the guy deserves to be charged for resisting arrest. However, I still don't think anything he did WARRANTED an arrest in the first place. He asked a question. That's freedom of speech. Get over it.
No matter what anyone says, tasering should not have been used in this case in my opinion. The odds were in the cops favor and he was not physical with any of them. Someone just wanted to bust out the tools of the trade.

Tasering him was completely unnecessary. These cops should feel ashamed. The kid was a complete deuche bag but nothing he did warranted an arrest or a tase... in fact, kerry said he would answer his questions and asked them to stop. I don't know why they asked him to stop asking questions in the first place...
Overzealous campus cops....
He wouldn't leave.
He wouldn't stop disrupting the event.
He wouldn't stop yelling or trying to resist.
Good move. I don't blame them and I wish cops would be taser more often.

He asked a question and was asked to leave because they didn't like his question... john kerry said he would answer them...
I said he should be charges with resisting arrest. Again, he should be charged with resisting arrest. In case you missed that, he should be charged with resisting arrest.
My only point was they didn't need to taser him (though he can blame himself as much as anyone else that it happened). He shouldn't have been asked to leave for asking a question either. There's much better ways to handle those situations...
As john stewart said it was a no win situation, you have overzealous campus cops and a deuche bag college student... neither was right.

He didn't just ask a question... he started babbling about the book and rigged voting machines that count backwards and why didn't he contest the election, then without pause and no room for an answer he started rambling on about impeachment of the president and Iraq...
"Mr. Kerry, given the evidence of innapropriate voting practices in the '04 election, why didn't you contest the results?".... THAT is a question. It's a question that John Kerry would have answered and it's a question that wouldn't have gotten him kicked out...

It looked more like he was ranting, rather than asking a question...IMO.
As for being allowed to ask a question, usually, when these big-wig politicos do a Q & A session, the questions and person asking the questions are pre-screened to prevent disruptive filibustering like this kid was doing.
If they allowed this kid to ask a question, I'm guessing he didn't ask the one he said he would (or added on his rant that wasn't approved).

I agree with you that there is no win-win here. But people who don't back down need to ALWAYS be taken seriously.
Personally I would rather see cops using taser for those running and so on...number one reason people don't run from cops in Mexico???? They get shot. Different issue.
Anyone ever see the video of the lady in Florida being pulled over, on her cell phone, eventually leading to her tasing???
