The kid that was tazered

S7G · 09-18-2007, 09:22 PM

So is it just me or has anyone else been tazed and been able to keep talking and then immediately be able to get back up and walk?
I also have a problem with the quick escalation of force that was applied to someone that had his hands in the air.
He did not start to resist until he was being needlessly manhandled.
While he was being dumb and resisting after being manhandled I see nothing that required the quick escalation of force that was used.
When escalating force although the steps can happen quickly they still need to be considered and they choose to ignore the rules and will probably have to pay the price.
Always two sides too the story but as a trained individual I believe they did this all wrong.

OK, I'm confused... should there be a link to something here somewhere?

I believe he should have been tazered for using the word "Bro" in a sentence ont he video I saw of it earlier....

All joking aside, this isn't the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. The escalation of force was completely inappropriate in this situation. The rules are there for a reason; for civilians, security, and police, and a general declining lack of respect for these rules is what's leading to incidents like this.

It's because he mentioned the Skull and Bones.

Student Arrested, Tasered at Kerry Event

The video is all over the place...the guy was being kind of obnoxious, but still...it didn't warrant tazering.

what it this one? -->
Student arrested, Tasered at Kerry event - Yahoo! News

Why, again, is it Florida?

Could not vote in 2000 and now can't taser a punk kid right...

Anyways, Here's something in the article which makes me think it was all planned -->

Quote:

An officer, however, said in the police report that Meyer's "demeanor completely changed once the cameras were not in sight" and that he was "laughing" and "lighthearted" on the way to jail.

Next time, just make damn sure the batteries are fully charged or something. Or use your club.

Opps, second post to a link

good lord, doesn't that kid know better than to try and use free speech? After all, this is America!

B · 09-18-2007, 10:25 PM

First he agreed to the general terms of the event by being there.
second he refused to comply and resisted. ( note the hands and the turn over shout)

He was a butt head with an agenda that was derailed and refused to comply. Actions like this have serious consequences chalk this up as a life lesson, that obviously mommy and daddy never tough the brat.

Tazer more!!! LOL....

Agreed with B. Anyhow, I didn't see John Kerry jumping to his rescue. Probably glad to get rid of the loud mouth.

They should just have an auto tazer on the mic for asking dumb questions. Or maybe a "your an idiot" tazer... Just for good measure.
