Student Tasering at the University of Florida

[All Else Failed]

Florida campus cops on leave after Taser incident - CNN.com




Hey look more police brutality.

There were quite a few cuts in that video. I'd like to see the uncut version.

 

[All Else Failed]

The full version was shown on a few news stations earlier, you're not missing much, just the kid asking if he could finish his question, and the cops grabbing the mic away from him.

 

[Sneakiecat]

Well, he was rambling and I could see why they would tell him his time it up.

I didn't see any rambling? He was simply stating his question. I believe in the article I posted, when the security guards began to mess with the kid Kerry basically said to let him finish his question.

This is bullshit and should not be tolerated. Rambling or not, he was expressing his freedom of speach! FUCK THE GOVERNMENT AND FUCK AMERICA!



YouTube - Nwa - fuck tha police

That was uncalled for, but to be honest you don't struggle with cops i mean wtf people even if you are in the right struggling just pisses them off while the fact they arrested or detained you was wrong on their part you being stupid enough to struggle with someone who has a taser and whos law enforcement makes me not want to feel to bad for them.

 

[Boomer]

Yeah, but when you are faced with complete un-just actions from those who are sworn to protect you, its hard to not flip the fuck out.

He was right to struggle though.

Campus security shouldn't even have tasers

 

[TheLightedPath]

They were not just campus security. Most florida university "security officers" are actually just police officers stationed at the campus. There are laws in almost any state that struggling with a police officer no matter why after you have be detained is a crime. Regardless of why.

i think that guy knew what he was doing and set this whole thing in motion , the only thing i saw wrong was tasing while on the ground 5 cops should have been enough.

He wasn't asking a question in that video. He was going about a book and how Kerry won the election.

Here's a link from a local station here with some more about it.

Look for the entire video on youtube, he asks 3 questions.

Why are Americans so blind to injustice?

We take things for granted.

I totally disagree with this kid's behavior. He acted like a child. He took the podium in an aggressive demeanor and whether he realizes it or not that demeanor can and is looked at as violent, yes words can be considered violent. Maybe he should take an ethics class and get an edumacation in regards to that.

He was asked to step away and because he 'thinks' his behavior is acceptable (which it isn't) he is then all butt-hurt/shocked that the police are telling him to leave. So then what does the rocket scientist do? He then decides to make more of a scene and resist arrest, cuss at the cops, etc.

If 5 to 7 cops were around him and the cuffs were still not on him, it is only rational to say that is because the guy was still resisting arrest. I'm not surprised that he got tazzed. He was out of control and would not cooperate.

We do have a right to speak our mind, but at the same token we are responsible and held accountable for our behavior. And how we choose to come across to others is part of that behavior that we are held accountable for. The guy was acting like an unpredictable pompous horsearse and imo from what I've seen on the 3 videos and read in the two articles, the cops actions were justified.

That idiot got on a stage in front of the youth. He had to expect something like that. Stop pissing everyone off and actually do something for the people and you wont have these issues.
