Kid got tasered

http://news.aol.com/story/ar/_a/student-arrested-tasered-at-kerry-event/20070918063509990001#cmntbgn

This child deserved what he got, and it amazes me how poeple on aol defend him claiming it 'violated' his freedom of speech, actually no im not....its aol:roll:

he had it coming :P

he got owned as they say....

Should have used the pepper spray as well.

You gotta respect tazers. ANything that can make some guy trying to sound tough say "OW Ow!" like a wuss is pretty endearing.

On closer examination of the video, I think the kid was purposely over-dramatizing the taser jolt. No, I've never been tasered, but he was playing the crowd the whole time up to that point, and he managed to keep yelling after he was tasered. It couldn't have been that bad. Elraptor

That's what I was thinking. He was trying to get attention. The rest of the article said that he regularly makes videos of him doing "funny" things.

He's an attention whore.

So if I repeatedly tape my own practical jokes and go "out of line" when speaking to someone we've given authority (American voters, I guess), it qualifies me for a tasering?

Whatever dude, I'd uppercut that cop and plead self defense. The dude asked some questions that many people want answered and if the viewer of the vid watched as he asked the impeachment and Skull & Bones things, they could be led by the U.S.'s laws to a conclusion that he wasn't doing anything that would be reason for two cops to grab both arms and try to restrain him.

What the hell man. Not cool.

Awww...I kind of feel sorry for him...:(Greenwhitegreen

Same here

I say this is exsessive force, it sounds like he was begging to not be tasered WTF? I'm still trying to find longer Youtube videos but NONE are loading for me...

He was begging to not be tasered, but he still wouldn't do what the cop told him to... He just wanted a nice show.

They could have saved them self alot of trouble and just said why they were arresting him or maybe that has something to do with there not being a good reason for it :roll:

[QUOTE="Greenwhitegreen"]Awww...I kind of feel sorry for him...:(TAMKFan

Ahh I knew you were'nt all that harsh. I felt kind of bad for him too :(.

Help! Help ME! :lol:

Not a smart idea to resist a bunch of cops. All he had to do was walk outside.

That was the only problem I saw with what the cops did...they never actually gave him an opportunity to walk outside. As soon as the mic was cut, the female cop grabbed his arm.

No he was not haha. He did not violate anybody's free speech. He was, however, being disorderly.

"In terms of not letting other to speak because of his conduct, then yes. If he can claim the cops violated his right to speak by cutting him off from the mic, than he violated the others right to speak by not sharing it. "

Something tells me you don't understand what free speech means in America...

I never said he did, just refuting your claim that this guy violated other people's free speech...

She could have just asked him to leave first...I don't understand why they had to physically attempt to remove him right off the bat. Prior to that, he really did not do anything but say stupid things.

Believe me, I don't have that much sympathy for this guy, and I don't think the cops did a terrible thing either. I think it could have been handled n a much more professional manner is all. The cop should not have grabbed him like that.

Well, prior to this he had pulled other pranks and he was known to record them, would you have any patience for an attention whore with nothing better to do?

If you are going to be so condescending please elaborate on why i don't "understand" freedom of speech.

There is a big something wrong with this. First, the moment the kid gets off the mic the cops grab him as if they are going to arrest him. They have no justification for violating his personal space and he has every right to demand what justification give them the right to escort him off the premisis, let alone arrest him. How are cops justified to bully the public just cause they ask an unpopular question or go a bit over their alotted time. Anyone who has every watched a presidential debate knows that they always go over their limit, I don't see the cops rushing onto the stage to warn the nominees not to obstruct their opponents freedom of speech.

Since when does being a cop mean you are justified to use your force and pain inducing tools to obstruct individuals from demanding questions of our representatives in the government. Then again, it seems that most people love the idea of public figures squelching opposition to the establishment's agenda. This can happen in this country and we have the audacity to flout our ideals of "freedom" that we don't even practice to the rest of the world. No wonder we can't seem to initiate a democracy in Iraq.

Did the police know he was a prankster? And is there anything wrong with being a prankster anyways? When she grabbed his arm, was she armed with this knowledge? Probably not...IMO she was a little too physical right off the bat. It certainly could have been handled better.
