Oops, shoulda written "MORE suspicious."

His futile pleas for assistance brought me great, sick pleasure. I realize now that I am prejudiced against privileged white males.

There was no "kinda" about his resistance. It was violent, and the police were having difficulty getting him cuffed.

I tried explaining that to a conspiracy-want-to-believer, but apparently it doesn't matter, the US is a nazi police state and the guy was in all his rights to disturb a function by spouting neverending questions and comments without giving anyone the chance to answer.

"You're being arrested for inciting a riot"
What?
There wasn't a single black person in the room.

"There are people that know I'm here! You can't do this!"

America has those super-secret gulag camps where we send political protestors who try and expose The Truth about the NWO, right? I hope this guy ends up in one of them.

WHERE'S THE GUY THAT WAS ARRESTED AT THE PROTEST?

University police regularly assinate people in processing

Asking a long, rambling, pointless question about conspiracies without giving the speaker a chance to answer, ignoring a gentle warning to wrap it up, and then trying to squirm away from the police while they're escorting you out is a very good reason to be kicked out. And then tasered. Bro.

These were matters of the mind that John Kerry was more than capable of handling. There was no cause for the police to touch him in the first place.

No you fatty, the number of five stars is why Poetv is great. Five stars does not mean "I endorse the political view and/or action portrayed in this video," it instead means "this is an intriguing video worth being pulled from the morass that is youtube." That is why (unless you are an ass) you shouldn't run around one-starring music videos by artists that you already know you don't like. Instead you one-star (god forbid) the video of the two bff's lip-synching that song. Thank you for your attention, good night, and god bless.

Hey, an ex-presidential candidate is a high profile target. Security will be on edge. They warned him repeatedly and he failed to comply when they attempted to handcuff him. He was given more then ample time to comply with the requests of the officers and to acknowledge the repercussions of further resistance.

Jrr. YOU, SIR, are the reason POENews sucks. What's your personal agenda, douche? I already have a mother and a priest. I don't need some morally superior internet pecker passing judgement on me, and you know what? No one else needs it either.

Please explain to the class how you would have handled the situation. I'm very keen to know how you might avoid this "brutality".

JRR is kinda right, but so is MK. I'd like to think POETV is (slightly) more than Ogrish by way of Youtube, a sadistic 'Accidents and Explosions' circlejerk. So when ppl start 5'ing LOL BRUTALITY videos, my monocle doth get to poppin', as there are better and safer ways to deal with some mouthy crazy (ex-presidential candidates are SRS BSNSS).

But c'mon. One star? Even if you're totally repulsed by the heavy-handed police tactics and the even more heavy-handed ideological bullshit in the comments, do not act like a.) this is a video that isn't noteworthy and b.) you didn't laugh (a little) at the OW OW OW OW.

Seriously? That kid was struggling with the police for a while before they pulled out the taser. Police have to be more on edge when a US Senator is around too, it's those kinds of nutjobs who kill them. This is all coming from someone who has experienced "police brutality" first hand (technically he didn't beat me, because I would have owned his petite ass, but he did arrest me for no reason).

It's getting harder to remember a time when jrr wasn't a prissy, whiny douche with an axe to grind about LIBRULS and an insubstantive one-line sissy-slap to go with his one-star "reviews"

You wrote the fucking All Your Base song. You are the living embodiment of one-star-ness.

I've done my best to not watch any of the news or clips of this incident. Which is why I haven't and won't hit play, now, or ever, on any clip, long or short, of the incident.

The "Don't taze me bro!" kid story reminds me too much of those kids from Humboldt County California who got q-tips with pepperspray swabbed in their eyes a while back. While they were in their own handcuffs. Whining about something nobody gives a flying fuck about. I remember Humboldt State University's newspaper, the Lumberjack covered the story.

Anyone remember that? Didn't think so. Nobody remembers the people who turn out to be obvious douches. Remember that Gomez or Gonzoles guy who used to work for the government? Didn't think so.

In six months, "Don't Taze Me Bro" is going to be as retarded as the All Your Base thing, or Hamsterdance.com. Probably sooner.

Five stars for all the amusing comments though.

Just to be clear, I'm one starring it because I think the protester is a bit of a twat, who is being made out as a hero. If you are rating it up just because you like seeing him tazered, more power to you.

Heyo! Looks like somebody isn't so good at sarcasm detection.

Did you watch the video?

You voted for Bush twice because you are a douchebag. Thanks for helping to send three of my friends to Iraq to get shot at and have their minds fucked.

Hey ass, read the report:

"As he tried to escape their grip, Kerry protested, "That's all right, let me answer his question."

But as Meyer repeatedly questioned why he was being arrested, officers dragged him to the back of the auditorium and then used a Taser on him when he continued to struggle.

While Kerry pleaded for calm, officers warned the student he would be shocked if he did not stop resisting."

Meanwhile, your President would have been instructing the secret service to disappear him off to Guantanamo. Incidentally, I voted for Nader, but I'm not such an idiot to somehow put the blame for this one on JOHN KERRY.

That's the wonderful irony of this video... Freeperbots like jrr and abel are all pissy because "HURF DURF, KID GETS TASERD 4 ASKING KERRY A QUESCHUN", but the reality is that Kerry tried to answer it, and police that have been buffed up on the Bush policy of "TERROR IS EVERYWHERE" and "STIFLE FREE SPEECH" busted in and shot him full of juice.

Also, never resist arrest. That's just stupid.

So you voted for Bush because he always puts up with protestors and people that try and approach him with things he doesn't want to hear?

Oh wait...did you hear that? It's the IRONY BOAT. Hop on.

Actually, Tim Russert on Meet the Press asked both Kerry and Bush whether they were Bonesmen ; both ducked the question.

Yeah, and my dog smiled once when I told a joke.
Doesn't mean he's got a sense of humor.
Nor does it mean I tell good jokes.
I do though ...
really...

Did you hear the one about the Freedom Fries?

The fact that he was only being escorted out before he started jumping around like a jackass seems to elude you.

If you want some high grade bullshit, go find the story of the couple that got jailed for wearing an anti-bush T-shirt (and nothing else) at a bush rally.


4 stars for the tazering, 1 star for stupidity and selective memory.

Well if they were wearing a t-shirt and nothing else at a Bush rally, they deserved to be arrested for indecent exposure (yes, I know what you meant).

Allow me to rephrase. There's no reason to "escort" a guy out of a room because he asked John Kerry a question about Skull & Bones and doing so only makes it look creepier than that Faustian laugh Kerry gave Russert when asked the same question.

It's neat how much you can learn about other posters from their comments. For example, SolRo is so incomprehensibly fat that he has never once moved his upper body when entering an animated discussion, and likens the heroic effort required to do so to "jumping around like a jackass".

Just to clarify, he wasn't "escorted" for asking a question. He was "escorted" for repeatedly asking questions after being told to relinquish the microphone. His question was answered, and he asked more, and more, and appeared to get more aggressive/agitated as he went on. When he repeatedly refused to give up the mic, they arrested him for causing a disturbance, but he decided he didn't want to go quietly, which is very dumb.

"Right to resist unlawful detention" comes after your arrest and by going through the legal system, not physically struggling with officers during your arrest.


douche

Thats fair enough. As long as I get to taser anyone suggesting its no big deal.

HAHAHA! Libertarians sure do love police brutality!

Frankly, I just love tasers.

It wasn't. He's also known for a stunt he pulled where, on the day of the release of that last Harry Potter book, he video taped himself holding a sign at a busy intersection that gave away the end of the story. In other words he's an attention starved asshole who probably deserved much worse than a taser long before this incident.

Wait...is he the guy from the Fox News "HACKERS GANGS ON STERIODS" video?

I bet he was part of the campus juggling club too.

A woman in a lake handing out swords is no basis for a system of government.

Bloody peasant!

Farcical aquatic ceremony actually

I WOULD LIKE TO BUY AN ARGUMENT THIS PARROT IS DEAD NO IT ISNT YES IT IS NO IT ISNT NI NI NI NINI NINININIIIIIIIIII!!!

1- A year or so of desensitization.
2- White kid vs Iranian kid.
3- Library boy got tasered for a simple mistake, Skull and Bones kid got tasered for being a loudmouthed faggot.

Mainly the difference between "intentionally being a tool" and "forgetting your fucking library card."

They were both complete tools, the UCLA video was a bit more sensational because the police were so obviously over the line.

I'll see what I can do.

"Forward this to all your friends or the ghost of the tasered mong will come tonight and eat your balls!!!!"

Now we just need some overhead view cleavage.

We do it all for you, Lisa.

And yes, it is now possible to get "Don't tase me, bro!" on a T-shirt.

You could say "It's not the end of the world" about anything short of the end of the world, and you would be right.
