If he had been walking toward the exit like the cops escorting him wanted him to, there wouldn't have been a problem. Instead while he was resisting he was moving back in the direction of John Kerry. Since I assume that those cops were responsible for Sen. Kerry's safety, they had to get the guy under control. They only escalated their actions after he escalated his.

put him in a wrist or arm lock so painful that if he continued to resist he would break his own arm/wrist.
Seriously any bouncer at any bar in the country could have ended this outburst singlehandedly in about 15 seconds or less.

Here, have a box of tinfoil...
perhaps. but is blowjob a word allowed to be used on CNN? maybe they could've bleeped it out, they had no problem bleeping out the idiot as he swore while he was getting tasered
or, if you really want to tighten that tin fol hat, you can say that they edited out the skull and bones comment because CNN is a skull and bones patsy
It's definitely interesting to watch just one video and formulate an opinion. After watching all the videos, you can easily tell that the police were in the right. Now, I don't necessarily agree with him being tasered, but the police really did give him plenty of time and opportunity. I mean, think about it. How often do you see (and I hate to be politically-incorrect here) a white kid yelling help (and needing it) when he's being arrested by the police? What are the odds?
Originally, they were just escorting him out. He started to resist, so they tried to force him out. You can tell he just wanted his time in the spotlight when he's jumping up and down (in the direction of Kerry) instead of just bolting out the door where no one could've stopped him. He wanted his 10 minutes of fame and it seems like he got it.
The CNN video is just plain sad. It looks like they really edited certain parts out to make it look completely like police brutality.

Kid was a jackass. He was already restrained, the tasering was uncalled for. A nice kick in the nuts would have been OK.

If 5 cops can't put handcuffs on a 21 year old kid without electrocuting him first, then they are the ones who need to be tasered. I like how one cop is smiling as the kid screams. I can see the humor in torture. It's fun, like pulling wings off butterflies.
Of course if the kid had been asking "serious" questions like why Kerry gave away his medals or faked injury for his purple hearts or something, then he wouldn't be a hippie, he'd be a hero, right? And the cops would be leftist zealots trying to bury a conservative from voicing his opinion.
And to all those blaming Kerry for this, he kept trying to answer the question, I don't see how he had anything to do with the cops decision to play laser tag with the kid's nuts.

Yep, cause we're living in an era of Jack Bauer where torture is good. Not surprised to see the pro-police state, Cointel mantra being parroted in this thread, shows that we are living in a police state after all. Ironically, people calling the guy a "hippie" when he's questioning John Kerry, who is supposed to represent the so-called left. This goes to show that tyranny is tolerated by both sides, and the left-right paradigm is just a distraction for the masses.

The taser was used because he was resisting arrest. He had numerous attempts to calm down and just became more belligerent. Idiot.

:roll: No where did I weigh in on the tasering or say it was good. Also, tasering to get someone(who is resisting) to comply is not "torture". And no, we don't live in a "police state" - no where close to a police state. That moron could have acted calmly and complied with the requests but he chose to act out and push towards the stage and then continue to resist. IMO none of this would have happened if he wouldn't have gone nuts.
BTW - it looks like this guy was a journalism major. Go figure. :laugh: THE GOV'T IS GOING TO GET ME!!! OH TEH NOESS!!!!!! Grow up kid and quit acting like a spoiled brat.

"passion and tough questions" = tinfoil skull and bones questions and then resisting arrest? 😕

Looks like this punk has a pattern for these kind of antics. They should have tazered him when he barged in and cut the line of students trying to ask a question. Asshat deserved it.

What? At least be consistent. You said he was kind of asking for it and that also it was torture. Wth?

It's sooooooo simple, people. Guy disruptive. Asked to leave. Doesn't leave. Security try to remove him. He resists. He gets tazered. Very simple, no need to get moral on this. It was funny and I do not get tired of watching whiny bitch college kids getting owned by cops. Never gets boring.
Who cares? Private property, asked to leave, doesn't, cops come. If somebody comes to my house and doens't leave and cops come and they resist, I hope I get enough time to film them getting tazered so I can laugh at it later.
