This is messed up. This guy is screaming for help and he gets tasered just for asking questions to Sen. Kerry. This is appalling. You can hear several girls asking the police to stop because he's being tortured by that damn taser. What the hell...

They cut his micriphone (why im not sure... kerry was even gonna answer it... which i kinda wanted to hear), then he was being escorted out. I don't think it was an arrest until he started causing a scene (yelling etc. and pushing the cops off him).

So when they really start to arrest him (which they didn't need to be doing) i think he was resisting and acting like a pompus ass.... but TAZERING?? When there are SIX police officers holding the guy down and cuffed, is the tazer REALLY necessary? Horrible judgment on the police officers part.
oh and don't the police officers all need to let go of him to tazer him (so no one touching him gets shocked too?)

Oh and lance you are wrong about europe. In the few cases police are attacked by civilians its merely the same as a riot in the united states (lots of poeple with a mob mentality). Soccer games are the easy example, the thuggish nature of the fans is crazy. When i went to a game the police were wearing riot gear, etc. ... and about 100 of them had to be brought INSIDE the playing arena to make sure idiot fans didn't jump the fence over what they thought was a bad call.

Not to mention the fact that places like UK don't have cops carrying guns (so people might be a little braver)... but then again brits aren't allowed to have guns either (which we know you would love)
