RE: woo, there goes freedom.
For what?

Arresting me for what?

I'm not allowed standing up for myself?

I thought this was America?

Huh, isn't this America?

I'm sorry I thought this was America.

What.. The.. Fuck..

I'm not even starting about the freedom of speech thing... the vid is cut multiple times, i don't know how long he was behind the mic, but i could understand he would be asked to leave if Kerry wanted that (but if the police acted on its own, that would be plain wrong). But WTF is wrong with those cops!? There are 6 of them and they still use a taser :S. They could have just cuffed the guy and walk him out, it's a fucking student and doesn't look that strong, not a criminal.

If the police ask you to do something, you do it or you will forced to do it. Even if you are not doing anything wrong. It's simple, it may be wrong but thats what happens.

no they didn't. you have to be doing something wrong in the first place before the please can do anything*. since when is asking questions against the law?

His allotted time for the question was up, but he refused to step down and created a scene. When he was being escorted from the podium, he resisted and caused a struggle.

He was warned multiple times that if he did not co-orperate then he would be tazered. Instead he kept fighting back so they followed through with the threats.

I felt the police didn't do anything wrong at all.

If the guy had been reasonable and co-operative this whole thing could of been avoided. Because of him acting inappropriately he even missed Kerry trying to answer his question.


But I sorta agree with the question. If he had indeed won the election, I'd be pissed off and I would want to do something about it.

wrong. the police can't force you to do anything, unless you're breaking the law. yes they may ask you to, but if you're not doing anything wrong, then you can contest it.

feel free to try it, next time a police offericers ask you to do something and you're not doing anything wrong. ask him what law you are breaking, he'll soon shut up or make something up. so as long as you know abit of law, and have proof that you're weren't doing anything wrong. then you'll be fine

if you're not doing anything wrong in the first place, why should you ?

if you where walking down the street, and a random stranger came and told you to do something, you'd laugh and ignore him! (or tell him to F off). why should it be any different for a police officer ?! police officers are heer to enforce the law, not do as they please

The police enforce law and order.
You don't get into an argument with an officer, you do as they say and then if you believe you're in the right you lodge a complaint to someone or take legal action if it's worth it.
