Kerry's behavior is what is appalling to me. He wants to let this kind of outrageous ***** go on in his public political appearances in order to get the press to cover this crap. Hell, he only had 100 or so in the audience according to what I read.

Skull & Bones, the secret society that rules the the world, that's another good one.

From the latest news http://www.starbanner.com/article/20070918/NEWS/70918007/1053/BREAKING_NEWS, not only did the ass clown deserve to be tased, but he also asked for it, and thanked the cops for it. The little attention whore would also only scream when he was in front of the cameras. The cops just fell in his scam. He is probably trying to launch his political career.

I think he got the juice because he called the Cop, "Bro".

[widgeon13]

It looked like "Ho" would have been appropriate as well.

I saw the video on my big tv last night and it was a little more telling than the youtube clip on my computer. That idiot broke away from the cops and was running back either toward the stage or the mic. At that point he should have been tased and tased hard. How did the cops know he wasn't trying to hurt Kerry? He was clearly trying to get away from the cops, aka resisting arrest.

Byron, Rampbo re-proves it with every post.

You'll have to point out where he asked for it and thanked the cops for it. Perhaps my reading comprehension is not as good as yours.

It is written between the lines. I know, it takes some training to see

Seems to me he wanted to hog the mic and refused to leave when told his time was up. What do you do when someone refuses to leave the mic and when does it become a disruption? He's clearly resisting arrest and a general loudmouth.

I was looking closely at the video for smoke out of the ears.

No joy.

You know, some police depts. have begun using laser sights on their sidearms, (I dunno about tasers) because having a perp see a red dot on his chest where he's about to get shot (or tased) is supposed to convince him that he ain't gonna walk away from the encounter unscathed if he continues to behave badly. I don't know if it actually works.

[rouxroux]

Yep, by the article I saw this morning and this asshat's own website, he's just a little attention whore that got what he deserved.

So for you lawyers out there, who thinks this kid gets rich in a lawsuit? Would the police or univ. settle it, fight it and lose or fight it and win?

[scottbombedout]

Wow tough crowd.

Wow tough cops.

I'm not a lawer but I think if it's determined that the taser was used as permitted by police reg.s, the cops did their job and will be left alone.

If it's found that its use was a bad judgement on the part of the cops, dunno what judge/jury might decide to do.

If it's found that the cops used the taser to "punish" the guy, they should be prosecuted like anyone else (it aint their job to mete out punishment). In this case the kid could sue and maybe win.

In either case the kid should be prosecuted for resisting the cops.

FWIW on a law enforcement BBS they commented that the youtube video(s) are edited and that the guy forced his way to the front of the line and blabbered on for some time before the video starts.

I don't think this guy has a case... you resist the police, they are allowed to use any force necessary to subdue you.

That's my understanding as well. I'd guess that the argument will be whether or not the cops used "excessive" force.

The guy clearly doesn't have a case as far as resisting the police.

I don't know. A limp for six weeks or possiblilty of death. You decide.

Please Steve, that is ridiculous. The link you provided tells the tale of a guy getting zapped, hogtied face down on a gurney and having a heart attack on the way to the hospital, all while high enough on cocaine to try and whip the demons out of his wife. He had hurt someone else already, and this was for his and the officer's safety. I know this might be hard to believe, but a bunch of coke and wrestling a bunch of cops is FAR more likely to cause cardiac arrest than a shock.

If you don't know what you are talking about, perhaps best not to share your emotional take on the situation, it does not contribute much to the discussion.

This was an appropriate use of force by the security guys, the DB(or turd sandwich, that is yet to be determined) has no case, will sue and lose. It is as simple as that.

How about not do something that will give you this choice?? I'm sorry, you make a choice to disobey, after you have been warned, and die, tuff titties, you made the choice, your family deserves nothing, in fact they should say they are sorry for raising such a POS!!!!! Why do liberals always leave out the choice of doing the right thing??
