Tasered for asking John Kerry questions

Jump to new
Apparantely this video was "edited", some other girl was suppose to have her turn, but REGARDLESS the police took it too far.

He was asking the question, and then they cut his mic off during a good question that Kerry wanted to answer (I hope the idiot that cut him off rots in hell) - then the police could have just pacified him peacefully, but no they force him into the ground, not only have they got him buckled but take it TOO FAR by tasering them.

I hate the US police, they are scum, I'd rather trust a felon.

And you know what, I can just see the Australian police going down the same path because we're the worlds most suck-up nation.

The other day I had so much luggage to carry, I ask the stationmaster kindly to open the disabled doors so I can pass through - drop my stuff and show the ticket instead of going through that 10cm-spaced machine, but no, a police officer comes up, demands that I go through the conventional way with much trouble.

Why do I feel like I'm a criminal each time I see a cop, aren't the police supposed to make us feel protected, rather than regulated?

Hate US police, about to hate Australian police.

I can just see us importing US-made tasers soon to "keep the peace" in this country.

But hey go buy some shares of US weapons companies when that happens, their CEO's will love your cash and give you an awesome 5c dividend with a $500 stock price.
 
Four police couldn't control him? BS!!!

There is no way we should ever permit tasers into Australia !!

I mean the NSW police have given themselves a whitewash over removing their badge numbers during APEC demonstrations.

(Devil's Advocate) ON THAT OCCASION, there was one hell of a lot at stake. And some of the protestors were wearing beanies.

But I can tell you that the cops can also be a law unto themselves, and no way would I vote to give em tasers.
 
I come from the US and I can tell you, I will only go there again if I can't avoid it. (death in the family or some such reason)

That guy was a bit out of control and did resist the police. BUT, the police's actions were entirely inappropriate.

This is not just a one off, this crap is happening all the time now.

I would doubt that "this crap is happening all the time".From what I've seen he wouldn't shut up at a public meeting. A bit of Tasering and a rough up never did any harm. I've been shoved around at demos by police in my time. He'll get over it. Now if he was in Baghdad with one of Usama's thugs at a roadblock, then he'd have something to worry about. The US is a great place and gets too many knocks for all the good it does in the world.

I can't see the problem.

The guy was doing a Hollywood, squeeling like a shot pig when police tried to walk him off.

Big baby deserved it.It's not like somebody put a gun to his head.Young men these days need to harden up a bit i.m.o.

Have you been tasered/buckled/humilated and denied freedom of speech in public before Garpal?

They didn't have tasers in my day. But have been hit by a truncheon once on the head, ( no jokes) and about the body, also kicked. Humiliated yes. Denied free speech in public yes. This nutter denied everyone else a go. So he deserved what he got. He 's a baby and should just move on.

I hear your opinion, but suggest a bit more research before becoming trenchant in it. Inappropriate tasering is rife, as is Republican biased impingement of freedom of speech.

The USA, on balance, used to be a force for good in the world, despite its frequent imperialist interventions (not including the world wars where the US was on the side of justice). It is now the most dangerous nations on earth and the most likely nation to spark a new intercontinental war.

There are some great folk in the US and I have a great deal of respect for many individuals, however the "establishment", for want of a better word, is pure evil.

*** My Opinion, which I am sure you will disagree***

I thought he asked some pretty valid questions.

All the police need now are some nazi ss ingignia on their collars...

Looks like a situation where a small amount of simple diplomacy could easily have cooled the situation. And if that didn't work, one cop, on one arm, briskly escorting him out of the place would have sufficed.

Is speaking too long at a microphone a criminal offence in America? Its not like this guy was shouting obscenities or making threats.

Because the role of the police is ever so subtly changing from protecting the people from criminals, to protecting the gu'mint from the people.

The essence of a police state.

ahhh the penny drops !!! ;)

and Wayne, for once we agree, lol

If you listen to Kims link , you will hear John Kerry saying "ok ok let's cool it " - but no the cops are "right in there".

Bit like the "minders" who circulate amongst the crowd in the shareholders AGM meetings in Japan lol

PS Gee I wonder if John Kerry's version of the incident is available on youtube and/or google yet?

And don't forget about the gradual militarization of the Police Force as well.

I think the most appropriate question that needs to be asked by everyone, is What possibly could the Government have to hide???
 
the guy was a twat. why do people always arc up at the cops? is it retardation? instead of walking off quietly and with dignity, he has to showboat and jump up and down and resist and make some stupid pointless political statement and embarass himself.

like others on this thread i've seen other videos of this nature and just about every single time the person being tasered is acting like a dick.

from some random article -

"He apparently asked several questions - he went on for quite a while - then he was asked to stop," university spokesman Steve Orlando said.

"He had used his allotted time. His microphone was cut off then he became upset."

it took a shock but i think he finally learnt an important life lesson - you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. "freedom of speech" does not mean "freedom to act like an idiot".
