MyPurpleCrayon Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 If you look at that, it seems really terrible. But watch this one: It seems more justified, but still really terrible.

MyPurpleCrayon Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=561170 Read the title of that thread. It's called "Trivial etc.", and I obviously know it's there. This isn't trivial and I want discussion, go away. Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

Well he did resist the arrest. Question is if the arrest was justified. If it isn't the question is: Shouldn't it be justified to resist an arrest that wasn't.

MyPurpleCrayon Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yeah but the kid wasn't pulling a gun out and about to shoot John Kerry... He just wanted to know the answers to a question. I know what he did wasn't right, but there could have been other ways of preventing. He did say "If you let go of me I'll walk out."

kelem_ryu Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 There certainly would have been more diplomatic ways to settle this. Instead they just used their superior power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryjoe Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 HAha. He wouldn't of been tasered if he didn't shout his mouth off like a prat. He should't of been removed from the place, but they would of probably just taken him outside and left him there. Bu he has to make a bloody scene -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragen Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Owned. I don't see why the police needed to take him out in the first place. Sure he was being provocative and insulting but he was doing it to a politician who should have taken it in his stride and just answered the question. No need for that whole scene.

knives669 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 This honestly makes me sick. Sure this guy was being a complete [wagon] and being very disrespectful, but, what did he do to get arrested? What did he do to get tasered? He was just running his mouth. I didn't see him do anything really that the cops couldn't handle. I don't think they were having much of a problem physically restraining him. Regardless of whether or not he was being an [wagon], he didn't deserve the treatment he got, and the people in the audience should have stood up for him.

Tbfgraphx14 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hm, reminds me of a Saturday Night Live skit :lol: But seriously, all he was doing was running his mouth, but when the cops took him away for that, he just made it worse.

spikerkid Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I don't care what he did. It's always funny to watch someone get tasered. Quit RuneScape :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warri0r45 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I have no idea why the police grabbed him. Were they trying to escort him out? Afraid he was going to do something? Making a pre-emptive strike? I've got no idea and I don't think that was within the law. Besides that they could have been human beings and asked verbally first. Did you hear Kerry say "That's alright, let me answer his question"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodredsword Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Stupid police, I thought it was funny when Kerry was telling the cops to let him speak and ask his question. Yet they still manhandled him out. "What have I done wrong!? What have I done wrong?!" The answer to his question was nothing. They really didn't have a reason to do that As said above: stupid police drones Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword. Tip it MGC Xbox live leader board!

Necromagus Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I've been on the recieving end of batons, dogs and tear gas, but a taser seems like it would be worse than that still. I really don't get why they used such a painful method of submitting the kid. They had him outnumbered to the point where they could have just carried him outside. I agree that he was being extremely disruptive and that the police should have stepped in, but this was just excessive.

speedofsound Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The kid did nothing to disrupt the Q&A. He was allowed to ask that question and he used the allotted amount of time. It may have been a controversial question, but John Kerry himself said that it was fine. The police stepped in on their own authority and dragged him away, even though he had done nothing wrong. Nothing at all. Then to zap him with the taser is just completely un-justified. But it doesn't surprise me at all. It's just the kind of police state we live in. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

dwarfdude3 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 wow I'm very disappointed in the audience. They should have stood up to them and took em down. They can't tase everyone in the audience. but no they just laugh at him as he's being tased. What a bunch of [wagon]. and John Kerry didn't do anything either, he could have easily just told the police to calm down and that it was ok, and surely then the police wouldn't have made a problem when one was not present.
