Is this democracy in America?

I say taze the guy who filmed this for his incompetency with a camera.

-edit: talking about the "long version".
Serious response: he got what he he deserved. Trespassing and resisting arrest. I'll save my sympathy for people who are tazed for doing little or nothing (see the stories about a cop named Serna in San Fran).

The kid is going to walk. Inciting a riot? Trespassing? I think it is pretty clear that he was not doing either of those things, and it is on video.

The rumor is that he was disrupting the forum long before the video ever came on; I think that is an important factor to take into consideration. At some point, somebody that is disruptive has to be taken out of the forum. If not, then people will be free to do this at all places, including restaurants, movie theaters, and school functions such as this. It is a shame that the police used a TASER on him, but not so much if he was just escorted out of the forum.

I hear there will be protests all over campus tomorrow as a result of this. Traffic is going to be horrible...

I always see the first part of your avatar and think it's Iron posting and get confused when it's really crass and vulgar.

This really bugs me...rental cops acting like total douchebags. I have no idea where free speach has gone in America..from Sally Field getting bleeped over nothing to this kid getting tazered and arrested over a comment?? Thank god I live in a democratic society that allows true freedoms. The States have handed to much over to private groups be it rental cops or service men that think there $10/hour donkeys are the law it's total BS and young american's should be outraged over incidents like this IMO.

Kid was asked to leave, would not, rental cops escorted him out, he resisted. It seems like a pretty clear-cut instance of justifiable (and hilarious) tasering.

He didn't get tasered for a comment. He got tasered for repeatedly shoving and wrestling with people. He didn't need to jump up and down and shove security personnel to make his point. All he did was show that he was a gigantic attention whore and totally discredited whatever he was trying to get across.

The taser seemed a little excessive to me. There were like 4 cops, and they had him on the ground.
