Okay honestly, thats wrong. It was his turn on the mic, and so what if he went over the time limit by a little? He did not deserve to be tased and hurt like that. They totally took this issue to far. I really care stand police or how America is "land of the free.
Yea Land of the free, im so sure. He is a young student he just wanted to know soemthing, he didnt need to be in pain and in jail for two days.
Someone better do somethign about this, the police better not gett away with it just like that, they took away his right of free speech basically.
:after watching that vid and seeing that guy's freedom of speech being taken away from
and the cops didnt even read him his rights
makes me a little mad
plus kerry didnt even kno how to answer that question
and when he answered that question at the end i think he was jus trying to cover that guys screaming from the taser
That's okay. I saw that on CNN and I am not excusing anything but I remember being young and in college and protesting the Vietnam War and being hauled off with my fellow students. All because we exercised our freedom of speech. However, it was not our freedom of speech that mattered to administration.
I do not think the young man in the video deserved to be tasered. I think he was just to calm him before anything else could happen. This was Senator Kerry too, not some yahoo senator from a yahoo state that no one cares about. That does not make it right!
Yes the young man went over the time limit, yes he got quite emotional, yes, he got carried away with his topic. Those kind of things would make him a target in the eyes of the police. So much now happens because we have become over cautious and jump on something, without knowing if it is or is not a reasonable issue to jump on. Like defusing the bomb before it explodes. I think the police were trying to get him out of the area before hell broke loose. I still do not think he deserved to be tasered. Hopefully he will not be charged with anything. He is an angry young man with a right to his anger. Kerry was not giving him much to go on.
I agree with you. He is a little annoying but none the less didnt deserve it at all. The poor kid got sent to jail for 2 days. How was he disturbing the peace? That i didnt understand
I think the problem is that he went over his time limit, didn't stop when he was told to, then when he was being removed he was struggling with the officers. If you watch the video, he quickly becomes belligerent once an officer approaches him. He lunged toward the stage several times, which to an officer, could indicate he wanted to do harm to Senator Kerry. Once they finally get him to the door and give him a shove, he lunges back; again, this indicates aggression and possible danger. Thus, the officers took him down. Was the use of the taser appropriate? I can't say for sure, but his behavior certainly wasn't appropriate either.
Yea i agree with this also, but that Taser issue was uncalled for.
If thats the polices best way of calming a hostile man down, there smart(nooo).
Technically, he wasnt supposed ot get arrested. I mean the cops never told him wy he was getitng arrested. until he asked.. if he never did that he could of been safe
Maybe the taser was uncalled for, but the guy is pretty big and was getting pretty physical. It could be viewed he was posing a threat to the officers and the other students around him. Tasers are designed to subdue an individual for their safety and the safety of others, and (generally) is non-lethal. If you watch the video they were having a tough time subduing him without using additional force, which, I'm sure is why the taser was used. As far as should he have been arrested or not... he WAS resisting an officer and he was causing what could have turned into a violent outburst from the crowd. I have a feeling the charges will be dropped against him, mostly due to the media attention. But then again, the guy got what he was looking for; apparently he's quite the attention wh**e.
sorry but he does not have a freedom to break the rules, and disobey the lawful orders of police. Once he was ordered to stop and leave, he was suppose to stop.
He was tasered as a method to protect him from other harm.
He was under arrest at that point and time, and rather than grab him and fight with him which would put the officers at risk, this was a very good method of putting the suspect under control. Mace can not be used in a crowd.
