student tased for no reason

[dangerdyke]

so many reasons to fear this place. you have probably heard of the florida college student tasered for asking kerry a q. i can't type right now because of pain but jesus fucking christ. he did NOTHING. i have watched the tapes, several tapes from several angles. yes, he resisted arrest, but in a PASSIVE overall way. they fucking tasered him when

Resisting arrest? What exactly was he being arrested for in the first place?

i know those are his charges. they are stupid charges. he began by thanking kerry for his time, etc. he then prefaced his question with fact. the cop tried to pull him off the mike for not asking a q. he made an excellent point that kerry spoke for 2 hours, he could have 2 minutes. was that following the "rules"? no, but the rules are not the most important thing, the rules were rpeventing him from being able to preface his question, and he needed to preface his question in order to make political weaseling more difficult. however, he is demonized for continuing to preface his q anyhow and then asking it---heaven forbid we not all act like obedient little robots. the event was a q and a in part. he was asking his q, just not in the prescribed "ask an easy, unsupported question that cvan be vaguely and incompletely asnwered." he was only "disruptive" in the sense that he was cutting through the bullshit. sure, he asked three questions in a row and was only "supposed" to ask one, but they were related and important. even if someone
