Person at a Q&A with Kerry gets arrested

[Cravixon]

The perpatrator was making hostile physical actions towards a political candidate.

He was resisting arrest with great physical efforts.

I am surprised he was not shot. If he had gotten loose and made his way farther up front, and armed guards were present, I think the would have rightly been shot with a firearm, not a non-lethal weapon.

Just because he was speaking English, many of you see this as innapropriate law inforcement.

it isnt till they get outside that they tell him he is being arrested ?

and again , im no cop , but is there a warning before you can tazer some one ? after the cop says it to the other cop he stops moving when saying "don't tazer me dude" . but they still do ?

also how long is the cut off point in these questions at these things ?

can some 1 answer these please ? also i do agree he was a little out of hand , he should of just said , ok and left , then later complained to the courts or something.

Armed, you sure hate hippes, eh..

I personally think that the Police handled in a correct way in this case. This guy is just a total asshole

Movies paint a very skewed picture of the officer's requirement to read you your rights. They don't usually need to do this at all until you're in the station, if they need to at all.

This guy was an obnoxious asshole, why should anyone stand and defend him ?


Did you notice how large that man was ? and loud ?
Can you imagine what his informal debate style is ?
How many people do you think were or are afraid to voice their opinion in his presence because of his intimidating, over the top style ?

I'm starting to think someone should zap you a couple of times.

But see, I follow the rules.

When I don't, I don't tell anyone I'm breaking the rules, I don't make a spectacle of myself and so, to me, cops are like children; seen not heard.

I had my rebel stage and at that time Tasers were not very common so perhaps I dodged a bullet, so to speak, but I was never interested in getting caught because I wanted the attention.

Ok I'm gonna shut this one down now, before it gets more out of hand and people start pointing rifles instead of fingers. Consider everyone wrong and everyone right in this case. Verbal objection is mere opinion unless it is backed up with peer-reviewed research/data to prove the point, in that case, it can be ruled as 'an arguement'. In the future lets keep it a bit more constructive and keep the directed statements towards fellow forum members to a minimum.
