Florida student tasered...

So, you work in law enforcement, Broc?  Or just think cops look cute in those those uniforms??  Give us a break.

We all agree the kid was out of line, but to be tasered was overkill.  There were 8 cops for christ's sake.  Cops are always wanting to be the tough guys - then be the fucking tough guy, and subdue the punk, you fucking pussies!!!  They signed up for the job, so there's no sympathy from me, especially over some kid resisting arrest. 

This shit pisses me off.  He resisted, quite mightily, the peace officers and just before the taze he tried to break free one last time.  A tazer was completely warranted seeing as he was resisting, using vulgar language, and could have been a threat to Kerry and the audience.  In a world after the VT thing nothing can be taken for granted.  I remember a time where they would have beat your bloody carcass and carted you off to a jail cell.

How would America act if this were a colored person?

the funniest part about it is him calling for help.

I think the world would run amok with liberals acting as peace officers, oh ya, they won't act as peace officers just complain about how bad things are 'as they see it'

a good way to not get tased is to not start trouble or do what the cops tell you to do after you do start trouble.  the kid got what he deserved. 

First off this is completely different situation seeing it was on a COLLEGE CAMPUS.

In college students are encouraged to speak their mind and Universities allow students to express their feelings and thoughts as long as there is not any type of violence. The students obviously was obnoxious and was probably out of line but there was nothing that warranted the cops putting their hands on him.

If I put my hands on a cop in anyway that is considered assaulting a police officer. If a police officer puts their hands on me for no reason what is that??

The cops not once asked him to leave. Instead they rushed at him and basically attacked him thinking he would submit to their almighty authority. If the police had been more proactive and talked with the student prior to jumping him then this would not have happened. All the police had to do was approach him and tell him that what he was doing was out of line and they were informed to remove him from the event. I don't think the kid would have fought back or anything if the situation was handled that way. If a cop comes up and grabs me when I am clearly doing nothing wrong I would be pissed also and fight back.

The whole time he is throwing his hands up and basically saying he will leave if they stop with their aggressive actions. Everyone here thinks they would go quietly and without squirming if they felt they were being arrested for doing NOTHING WRONG?

Free speech is a right everyone is entitled. Obviously there was wrong doing on the cops part if 2 were put on paid leave and everything against the student will most likely be dropped. A disorderly conduct or public disturbance is the only thing he could have been arrested for and police did not say that or tell him that is what his arrest was based upon. He kept asking and they said nothing. They were not even real police officers; they were campus security.

 

As a matter of fact I have but on a different level. Mine was more you fuck with me I shoot you no questions asked basis. I completly agree with what they did. John Kerry was speaking there and this obviously demanded a higher level of security which warrented the cops reaction to this loud mouth kid. When they tried to restrain him, he continued to fight. Fuck him. His rights went out the window.

Total guy males a good point that we're missing a something here. Someone obviously is only publishing the video that makes the kid look innocent.

Sounds like your were an MP and or in the military, if so, I have nothing but respect and thank you.  

I've seen more video angles and have read some more info about this case, so I've since calmed down a bit.  Again, I don't disagree the kid is a punk and out of line. 

 

i agree 100%.  i hope this kid collects a big fucking paycheck.   

Ahhh, the American dream. Act like an asshole, hope somebody does something about it, sue.

There's a difference between a victim and a dickhead, but not in our court system.

Can't defend yourself, can't say the wrong, Can't do your job, can't help another human being without the thought of being sued for everything you've worked hard for. How did this country get to this point?

first of all, i can assure you that i am not one of those guys that justifies all the lawsuits out there.  in fact, it angers me when i see all these ludicrous suits against whomever.  but the fact is, this kid broke violated no law when the cops jumped him.  he probably should have just layed down and let them arrest him, but nonetheless he did nothing illegal.  and i hate to turn this into a race/political issue, but if it was a colored person who was protesting and got tasered, i guarantee you that there would be a huge fucking lawsuit with every civil rights group calling for people to get fired and raising a stink.  those campus cops would be fired and al sharpton would be on every tv station screaming racism.     

Did any of you tools actually watch the full video that shows the questions that the kid was asking Kerry??? They were all very well thought out and intelligent questions. He was not just being some punk. He was speaking his mind, and he had the right to do that. All of you need to get a grip.

Let me know the next time you are anywhere in a line so I can cut you out and act like an asshole, then fight with the cops who try to throw me out.
