Don't tase me, bro!
I freaking love that line.....lol. It's my new "get off my back!".
I have mixed feelings about campus police using stun guns and tasers, but shit - in this day and age, you never know what's going to go down when someone starts raising hell at a public forum.

That line will live in infamy.
I watched the vid. Neither side was right, nor won, that brawl.
Kerry was an afterthought.
Am I the only one that found it disturbing that the onlookers were laughing while they tased this guy?

But even if that was not an aspect of the situation, just because something is nonlethal or doesnt result in injury, doesn't mean it should be carelessly used on the masses.
In this case I actually feel sorry for the cops involved, most departments don't offer shit in terms of training for situations like these. Not alot of departments do riot training, which I think is critical when it comes to police conduct in situations with civil disobedience.
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

This whole situation is being blown out of proportion,the guy was a loudmouth jerk who tried to make a scene,he then resisted arrest and got owned.
"bro don't tase me"
Ok then stop fucking resisting the police.

Personally, I roar with laughter every time I see or hear that video. No matter how you cut it, seeing idiots getting tased is always funny.

That was piss poor policing. What are they teaching those idiots?

Some stupid ass postings here - typical of legend to jump in!
There were five fucking policemen and one loud mouthed idiot. They had him restrained. There was no need to taze him (and I hurt people yelling for them to stop as well as some laughter). It was nothing to do with Kerry, it was poorly trained police and they're lucky they didn't start a riot.
When police resort to tactics like this - and the same people supporting the police are probably the same people complaining about human rights in other countries, then it's little wonder the US is in the mess it's in.
They could have easily restrained him, escorted out of the building and taken him downtown too cool off. (or more likely given him a kicking when the cameras were off). Even easier would have been for Kerry to answer those questions and let the guy have his 5 min speech, if he was any sort of politician he should heva been able to turn the question around to his advantage.
There was no risk to him apart from embarressment.
BTW if it was my buddy I'd be laughing also - but probaby in a cell next to him as I would have had to throw something at those clowns.
