UF student tasered after asking John Kerry questions

[eurythmech]

Wow, could barely watch this.
Do [censored] like these cops ever get convicted?

He deserved every single volt.

What a irritating douchebag.

Kid deserved the heavy-handed escort out. He was being a tool. He was told to go, resisted, then resisted being forced to move by the police (no rent-a-cops), then made motions that could clearly be interpreted as threatening towards the speaker.

Kid did not deserve the taser. He was pinned to the ground by the big black cop. The taser here was used as a means to quickly subdue him to get him out of the theatre hall as quickly as possible. He posed no threat with two knees in his back.

His ranting and raving about what did he do to get arrested is the normal reaction that "his kind" make. From an outside perspective the arrest was warranted. What led up to the arrest could have been avoided if he was a sensible human being.

All that this video proves is that the the police(?) or security guards were amateurs. If you cant control some 22 yearold teenage douchebag with 5 men you are retarded. It should take 2 men to just remove him from the scene and once outside he would shut up anyway cause nobody is listening anymore.

I really hate police brutality but this is different. These guys were just total morans that couldnt handle the situation. They were stressed because of all the media and J.Kerry and overreacted/took the complete wrong measures.


lol @ both sides, really

The kid can cash in on an excessive force lawsuit.

They were all out of line but the taser was over the top.

Props to Kerry.

cops didn't do anything to get convicted of.

this is a little bit borderline, but not even that borderline. he wasn't in cuffs, and he was physically resisting. The proper thing to do is to leave the property and then file a complaint against the officers but nancy boy couldn't handle that so he got dealt with just as he wanted.

Meh. Usually these types of vids will get me all riled up with anti-police sentiment, but not here. While they could have probably gotten him out of there without the use of the taser, it was borderline.

And, LOL at the first amendment comment.

Douchebag deserved it

I don't think you realize how careful the police have to be in man-handling people. They probably did over-react some, but when the kid decide he was going to stay even though they were trying to escort him out, that was the end and when they took him down. Tasering him when he was down was the only excessive part about the entire ordeal.

Plus don't judge someones ability to squirm and manuever and put up resistance based on how they look. Using multiple people is as much a safety measure for the officers as it might be the need to actually restrain someone.

As for shutting up - with the cameras right there, thats not gonna happen.
