He asked great questions, which Kerry never bothered to answer...It's appalling that some people were applauding as he was being arrested and tasered...seems to be happening a lot recently...

You could have at least posted a good quality video:
University of Florida student Tasered at Kerry forum
I smell a ripe lawsuit, and big time discredit towards Kerry for not stopping the action. That much security on the guy could have easily removed him without such incident if all he was doing was resisting being moved from the mike.
Handcuff, pick up and carry.
You know what is normal practice when someone takes too much time....
Turn off the microphone!
Dumbass wasn't letting Kerry answer. It's obvious he was just showboating. I applaud his being arrested and tasered.
You have to be smart and calm. Once he started yelling and carrying on he was going to be escorted out. If he would have just gone with them and left without struggling he wouldn't have been taken down. He deserved what he got.
Yes, and no.
I agree the right to remove him. I just think that security did a poor job of doing so, and used the taser in an abusive way. They had other options before using the taser.
Tasers have been known to kill people! Sure it's rare, but it has happened.
It all depends on their written procedures. Chances are pretty good this action fell within procedure. He has been charged with felony resisting with violence.
I like dan's, you can hear the guy saying "Rodney King!" better.
Yeah, you cold have done that all by yourself, tough guy.

Discredits kerry? How. because the security guard decided to taser him? When you physically resist you better be prepared to pay the piper..
non-lethal stun weapons are used many times to prevent having to slam a subject around in an attempt to subdue and cuff. The possibility of damage and harm to everyone is greater if your wrestling the guy to gain control over a quick jolt to immobilize for the second needed to gain leverage and a dominant position.
Regarding Ammendment rights, I don't recall the right to resist arrest. Maybe I overlooked that one.
The idiot wasn't arrested because of what he asked, he was arrested because he resisted being escorted out. Free speech doesn't mean you can do whatever the you want, where ever the you want to do it, as long as you're saying something while doing it. This jackass was seeking attention, plain and simple, as evidenced by the fact he wasn't letting anyone respond.
I don't agree with the officers using a taser to subdue him, not when there are 6 of them to 1, but the dumbass definitely got what he was asking for IMO.
he wasn't arrested because of the talking, you can clearly see the officers trying to escort him out before he starts screaming like a little girl that he was being arrested. He resisted, so yeah, he needed to be arrested
I thought the crowd was a little skimpy. Actually, I thought
they could have accomplished everything they wanted by
just shutting the mike off, like they did. dimm-o-craps
are used to shouting over everyone else. They should have
been used to it.
When someone begs not to get tasered they are really resisting, the security handled this horribly. Guy has two things going for him the video went viral, and the fact that he's white.
Kerry had to know what was happening and could have interjected a little restraint. How many of them were campus security and how many were Kerry's security? Maybe I should know that first. He might not have had any say in the matter. I could be wrong in this case, but I have a feeling he had some say in it.
The first amendment has restrictions. When you are at someone elses event, building, etc. those in charge can set restrictions.
Absolute bull . Ever been tasered? People have died from it. What if the kid had an undetected heart murmur? Dead. Or heart arythmia? Dead.
One must think about the individual who wants to be a cop and the reasons for doing so. Have you ever considered why these people want to be cops in the first place?
Its a powerr trip. Control and status. Law enforcement is just a subsitution for fraternity. A necessary component, no doubt, unequivocally. But these things are bound to happen when you consider the psychology behind a person who wants to be a cop.
NOTE: so its out there, the kid was being a . Deserved to be taken down, I just dont like Tasers as a means to subdue an unarmed idiot. to be clear, when I say "unarmed" I mean a person without a weapon of any sort. If a guy has a gun, the cop should shoot him. If the guy has a baseball bat, he should be tasered. If the guy is unarmed but 6'7" and about 330lbs of raw beef, he should be tasered. See my point?
Everyone of you has a right to resist arrest in that situation. He was asking questions and the pigs came up and told him he was under arrest and laid their hands on him. They were violating his rights.
The lack of reaction by the audience is deplorable. Watch this to see a just reaction:Soccer teaces us how to stand up to police brutality
Absolutely correct. I meant to bring those up. Thank-you.
Thing is, even if it was a detected problem, the security doesn't have the medical files to know what they can and cannot do.
Tasers are not to be used for convienence. Period.
Sorry, have to disagree.
Who paid for the forum time?
Does he have the right to take all the time and let no one else speak?
Those in charge, like it or not, had every right to remove him. Just not with a taser in this case.
Personally, it wouldn't have bothered me much for him to interrupt a Kerry event. Kerry is a real slimeball in my view.
The police reaction was disproportionate to the crime. Tasers can kill and are generally used in place of deadly force. This guy was being a bag at a public forum, but that's about it.
All those guys were university police.
Do you ever bother to look anything up before talking out of you ass?
It doesn't matter. Kerry's reaction was far less than honorable -- same as the rest of the crowd. Fear the police.
What were they supposed to do? Riot?
that. bag should've stopped resisting. He fought the law and the law won.
Chump, set your damn partisan politics aside for a second. This ing kid was being a bag, no doubt. Did he need to be escorted out, absolutely. Did he need to be tasered when there were six guards there, NO!!!!
Take the kid down to the ground, cuff him, and get him the out, don't do something that damn near kills him.
Should we start tasering Cindy Sheehan every time she shows up at an event?
If this had happened at any conservative politicians speech, you'd be ing outraged. You can say you wouldn't all you want but no one will believe you.
Partisan politics have ruined this country so much that half of the country supports police brutality if it's convenient for them and the other half doesn't, and vice versa.
