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...

i fail to see how he was a disturbance.
kerry was about to answer his question.

so he asked slightly heated questions...
and his microphone gets turned off as soon as he mentioned secret societies.

If you read it was stated that he had already asked multiple questions and was asked to not continue. He refused and continued to ask.

His mic was shut off and he still continued. The police then were escorting him out and he tried to resist being escorted out. He wasn't placed in cuffs until he resisted.

Have any of you actually been arrested? I have. They do not read you your rights until you are actually placed under arrest. They can put cuffs on you while they try to sort a situation out, I've seen this done multiple times and a few of those they actually let the person go. They just know situations are volatile and that keeping cuffs on someone is an easy way to control it.

Focus on the entire picture and it becomes more clear. Focus too much on a single point and the waters get murky.

At the end he was finished and Kerry even said "i'll answer his question" or something.
You can hear the guy saying something to the effect of "leave me alone I just want to hear him answer"
he was finished, he just wanted to listen to Kerry's answers and they wouldnt even let him.

on the second video he keeps asking again "why are you arresting me? i didnt do anything wrong" and finally one of the cops say "for inciting a riot"

how the hell was he inciting a riot? he was asking a question.

also wanna bump this

Again, I don't care if Kerry said he'd answer it. This guy could sit down and listen to the answer. He was asked to sit down and not ask any other questions, he continued to. What kind of things are we teaching our kids if it is ok to disobey and continue to do something when told not to?

Also, even though IAKAL, the inciting a riot charge would probably stick as he resisted arrest and yelled "help me!" which is comparable to "fire" in a crowded theater.

WHAT!??!?
no. there is no comparison.
