The Funniest Thing I've Ever Seen, EVER.

What the hell are you guys smoking?? They were going to escort him out, and he flipped.... Every right to get arrested then..

The police lost control of the situation the moment they grabbed him.

What's would the charge be?

No charge.. Escorting him out, does not meanarrest... Escort him out for being an asshole...

Umm...if he's not doing anything illegal, then they have no right to "escort him out."? Cops aren't there to beat up on any random asshole.

He was getting loud and obnoxious... They even asked him to step down and he told them no... They woulda just let him walk if he had

Being loud and obnoxious isn't illegal.  Gotta tell ya, I'm just not a fan of the belief that you can be arrested because you ask a question that someone doesn't like.

Being loud and obnoxious isn't illegal.? Gotta tell ya, I'm just not a fan of the belief that you can be arrested because you ask a question that someone doesn't like.?

A question?? More like QuestionS....If he woulda been calm asking these things,and not interupting like a douche, it would have been different..

Look I have no problem with the questions.... But when you have cops telling you to move along, do it... The whole time he was egging them on... Lucky for him they had tazers, becuase there could been some real police brutality there..

Kerry wanted to answer his questions and, once again, it's not illegal to be a douche, asshole, dickhead, buttfuck, or anything similar.  Now, had Kerry come into the aisle to knock him on his ass, then THAT I'd find funny.  But six cops holding him down and tazing him? 

.... But when you have cops telling you to move along, do it...

Why?  He's a student there.  He has every right to be there.  They have no right to tell him when HIS question is finished.  I understand why they were there, but this guy was no threat to Sen. Kerry or anything like that.  It looked to me as if the mic was in the middle of the room.

The whole time he was egging them on...

Yes, his protests of innocence must have really pissed them off.  Cops HATE it when you say you're innocent and beg for them to not harm you.  He should have known better. 

Lucky for him they had tazers, becuase there could been some real police brutality there..

Indeed, how lucky for him.  If I'm exercising my freedom of speech, I consider myself lucky if all I receive is a good tazing from some two-bit high school dropout turned campus cop.  Had they used sticks or guns, I'm sure another excessive-use-of-force apologist would say it was justified.

Disorderly conduct my friend is illegal....

If the practice is one question, his was over... These guys get protestors and shit all the time... When he was getting restless they knew where he was going with it...

Resisting arrest, saying 'get the fuck off of me'.. If he woulda stayed still it would took one guy and zero tazers

Again freedom of speech and being disorderly 2 different things... if he asked these questions in the proper manner, we wouldnt be talking about this... So arent ya glad they did do what they did?

He wasn't disorderly until they laid hands on him.  I wonder (seriously) how many "crimes" are started by dickhead cops bullying people?  The one who tazed him, at least, should be fired.  But he/she won't be.  Another victory for order over freedom!

Who give a rotten fuck if he asked to many questions?  That is not disorderly conduct.  He wasn't a protestor.  If you listen to his questions, about allegations of vote fraud, it's clear that he's not some anti-Kerry advocate, but likely a Kerry supporter who is bothered by what he sees as the Kerry campaign's failure to pursue those allegations. 

Yes, his protests of innocence must have really pissed them off. Cops HATE it when you say you're innocent and beg for them to not harm you. He should have known better.

Resisting arrest, saying 'get the fuck off of me'.. If he woulda stayed still it would took one guy and zero tazers

Again, things that began after the cops decided he wasn't allowed to speak and initiated contact.  Why should someone being wrongfully arrested be forced to stay still?  Cops are allowed to wrongly arrest you, but you can't say "get the fuck off me" and "don't taze me"?  BS. 

Indeed, how lucky for him. If I'm exercising my freedom of speech, I consider myself lucky if all I receive is a good tazing from some two-bit high school dropout turned campus cop. Had they used sticks or guns, I'm sure another excessive-use-of-force apologist would say it was justified.

Yes, the "proper manner" is very important when asking questions of authority.  If more shared that view, we'd all have English accents. 

Anyway, neither of us is going to convince the other, and we're about to start reiterating our points (if we haven't already), so...

(a) Offense defined.--A person is guilty of disorderly conduct if, with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, he:


engages in fighting or threatening, or in violent or tumultuous behavior;
makes unreasonable noise;
uses obscene language, or makes an obscene gesture; or
creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which serves no legitimate purpose of the actor.

(b) Grading.--An offense under this section is a misdemeanor of the third degree if the intent of the actor is to cause substantial harm or serious inconvenience, or if he persists in disorderly conduct after reasonable warning or request to desist. Otherwise disorderly conduct is a summary offense.

(c) Definition.--As used in this section the word "public" means affecting or likely to affect persons in a place to which the public or a substantial group has access; among the places included are highways, transport facilities, schools, prisons, apartment houses, places of business or amusement, any neighborhood, or any premises which are open to the public.

Resisting arrest
iResisting an arrest is a misdemeanor. It is also a misdemeanor to interfere with an officer while he is engaged in official duties. Resisting arrest typically comes in the form of an arrestee physically struggling with an officer as he tries to place on handcuffs, or when the arrestee struggles as he is being placed in a patrol car or jail cell.

Interfering with the duties of an officer typically occurs when a person attempts to physically restrain an officer to prevent the arrest of another, or when a person is verbally abusive or taunting an officer as he is engaged in his duties.

BTW:The police taped the whole booking process and the student supposedly said he did it to get a rise or in half protest and it was his intent to do so and that he also knew that the police were doing their jobs, and he knew what the consequences were.  We'll see when it goes to court or when the law suit is presented.

Colbert had a great "the word" segment on this last night.  puts a different spin on what everyone else is talking about.

don't look at the kid or the cops, but look at the crowd.  as colbert said, they look BORED!!!

i highly recommend youtubing it if its out there....

What was odd about the footage:

When the student was on the ground the police weren't holding him down at all, he wasn't thrasing about in any way, or yelling at that stage. There were about 5 cops kneeling around him but not restraining him.

In order to use the taser, it has been reported that the police had to implant barbs in his chest first.

I caught a whiff of sadism there....

Well that is reported in error.

After watching the full clip of this...are you fuckin' kidding me?

A student asks a simple question, albeit controversial, then gets cut off and subsequently arrested, then tased with 20.000 volt. For what?

Then you're gonna say "he was obstructing justice, resisting arrest. it was all in within procedure".

Well of course he's obstructing 'justice'. Who the fuck wouldn't when you're being grabbed for executing your constitutional right. And when being tortured is part of the procedure I ask you, what is wrong with this picture?

It took you a year to come back with that?  Wow, bring back dead posts much?  This shit is still funny to this day though.  That kid was a threat to national security! HAIL HAIL!
