Seems to me that the Taser accomplished it’s purpose he left relatively peacefully rather than getting a police officer hurt wrestling with him.

Of course I would have liked to see him hogtied and carried out and oops dropped down the stairs.

I hate idiots.

[W]hat you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I think he looked a lil’, less than innocent, when he arrived with 4 or 5 cops in tow.
For a punishment he should have to watch all the videos and he’ll see everyone laughing at him making a fool of himself

Kerry says “That’s alright let me answer his question.”

Guess the cops didn’t like the question.

That’s Kerry just being a politician.  According to the article he’d been at it for a while, which makes it seem perfectly appropriate to ask the cops to remove him at that point.

I wonder if Kerry’s crowd handling skills were up to the task.  I would think that you could solve most meandering questions by saying I’ll answer the question if you ask it and hand of the microphone.  The rest of the guys are waiting.

However this loon very well went there with the idea of being arrested.

Geez Rob, next think we know you’ll be cheerleading when they taser Sally Field for running over.

Of course that would be a good thing…

Oh yeah right.  Tasing the guy was really appropriate when there are six cops on top of him holding him down.  That’s the America I want to live in.  He’s going to sue and win a lot of money from this.

As far as I am concerned, they should have tased him the moment he spun around while preventing his escort out of there. The guy doesn’t own that place. He was given an opportunity to ask a question and like an idiot, he went on and on and on like he owned the show. He had no right to be there. He was a guest and he violated the house rules, then he fought the cops over something that was never his to begin with (his non-existent right to be there). He punched his ticket and earned those volts.

the pigs must be useless there was 4 of them at least

gavin brown, The only people who refer to cops as “pigs” are subnormal people like you who lack the social ability necessary to live along side others in a civil manner and therefore you blame all things on everyone but your own ineptness at socialization.
So, with that said to you gavin brown, Shut your @#$*#@ mouth and don’t refer to cops as “pigs”
The cops weren’t useless what so ever. They were simply trying to avoid a full blown out take down. Their only mistake was not taking him down as soon as the asshole resisted their orders. If they would have done that, they would only need one or two cops and there would not have been any drawn out scene.
They should have forcefully taken him down, face in the ground, with a knee on his upper back and cuffed him and then dragged his sorry ass out of there in just a few minutes instead of trying to be politically correct about it so “not to offend” his civil rights.

excuse, maybe “the filth” would have been better instead of pig

excuse, maybe “the filth” would have been better instead of pig

How about the fuzz? That makes much more sense. Sometimes they’re the good guys going after bad guys, othertimes they’re the bad guys going after good guys. It’s all fuzzy.

Cool!! Now we can taser people at Republican political events and in Congress. YAY!!!! Every time some one from codepink opens their mouth we can taser them!YAY!!!!Every time some one from moveon opens their mouth we can taser them!YAY!!!

Oh, thats right, this shit only happens at Democrat Bunds Rallies and Democrat colleges. I can not believe y’all are supporting the suppression of a citizens right to speak their piece by use of electric shock therapy. 6 cops could not remove one person without electrocuting them? Those 6 cops need their asses fired.

This guy is going to be very, very rich in about a year. More tax dollars thrown down the toilet.

Maybe earlier Kerrey could have spoken to him face to face, and stopped the cops from taking him. If he was really delusional, then the cops could take him away. Usually people are escorted out, but actually arrested only if they don’t leave the premises. Assuming he was the only “troublemaker”, there would not be much time or disruption involved - and Kerry would have come out smelling like a rose.

The video showed that the Tasering was appropriate. 

He was still resisting when he was on the ground.  The cops Tased him and the fight was over.

The cops need to use the minimal amount of force.  If they used a nightstick (modern style) in a submission hold then there’s still a chance of injury.  I didn’t even see that they had those in fact. 

The taser causes pain, but so do other physical techniques to make the criminal stop fighting.  The difference with the taser is that it doesn’t cause lasting injury.

Since when was questioning a Democrat a crime punishable by electrocution? And 6 cops incapable of removing 1 person?

Had this happened at a Republican event people would be howling about policestate tactics and suppression of free speech. Happens at a Democrat event and it is all okey dokey? Please

I leave it to the Democrats to be situational hypocrites.

If behavior is wrong in one political venue, it’s wrong when it’s in the other sides venue.

The guy was there to cause problems or he wouldn’t have been followed into the room by all the officers in the first place.

Whistler: What have I taught you about the use of unnecessary adjectives?

Excuse me, you were saying?

Proof, if you’re going to make a statement, you need to refer to the knucklehead by his name so he can google his attention seeking self with less effort.

...unless Andrew Meyer was tapping his foot in the men’s room!

Gavin Brown said:

the pigs must be useless there was 4 of them at least

Sigh. Another uninformed moron heard from.

Yeah, there were four or five of them. That way they can restrain or immobilize without either getting hurt or hurting the fool they were wrestling with.

Cops have rules to live by. If not then it probably would have taken one of them to subdue him by busting his head with a baton or flashlight and dragging him off like they did thirty years ago.

Which way would you rather have it, zippy?

Another thing: This ain’t the wild west. Cops don’t get paid to act like they’re in a bar fight when they take someone into custody.

And as far as the “free speech” issue goes, the guy jumped line in front of other questioners who were waiting their turn. What about their “free speech?” Why does he have the right to interfere in that?

Those cops were in a damned-if-you-do-and-damned-if-you-don’t situation. If they hadn’t acted idiots like Gavin Brown would be howling that cops don’t protect democrats from interfereing moonbats.

Tell you wha,t Gavin - the next time you’re or your family are the victim of a crime call the ACLU to help you instead of those filthy pigs.

Fool.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

Oh....and Dave said:

He’s going to sue and win a lot of money from this

No, he’s not. They were well past the point where the use of a taser was justified. All he has to do is begin resisting. They tried to get him ourt without it but he continued to fight.

By the way, does anyone out there actually think those cops didn’t know that they had dozens of cameras on them? How much misconduct would you participate in knowing that your every move will be scrutinized by millions?

They acted within acceptable parameters. Get over it.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

I’m with Pilgrim, guys.  I’m the son of a cop, and I’d ask why those cops should put themselves at risk of injury because this jackass is kicking and fighting?

Yes, six cops had him on the ground.  And he was still struggling and resisting.  If they’d let him up, he’d have kept kicking.  The proper thing to do is tase him into submission.

And this wasn’t just about him asking a question.  He asked his question, and then wouldn’t get off the microphone.  He went on and on and on and when the people organizing the event asked him to leave because he was being disruptive, he refused.  So they called the cops.  He resisted the cops and was subdued using the tools we, the taxpayers, provided the cops with.

Again, case closed.  Free speech doesn’t include the right to disrupt other people’s events, and it certainly doesn’t include the right to kick and fight the cops who are just trying to escort you from an event where you are not welcome.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Even a layman should be able to figure out that when a guy’s kicking and flailing and headbutting someone’s going to get injured.

The way the guy was acting it was either hogtie him and carry him out or tase him to get him to cooperate.  (No injury).

Besides the police department has fixed rules of when to do what. I’m sure they followed them, no successful lawsuit.

If it’s any concellation, the guy, Meyer, was a leftist moonbat.  From LGF

The student claimed that University Police Department officers had already threatened to arrest him, and then proceeded to question Kerry about why he didn’t contest the 2004 presidential election and why there had been no moves to impeach President Bush

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

If it’s any consolation, the guy, Meyer, was a leftist moonbat.  From LGF

I repeat (yeah, same as I told ya so)

It’s more of an example of how the far Left isn’t happy with the Dems, either.

The only legitimate role of government with regard to economics is to prevent fraud and provide a remedy- civil and criminal penalties- in case of fraud.

People have the mistaken notion that the free market has no rules.  But it most certainly does.  All our problems are due to government meddling.

There’s no question that Meyer is a radical leftie.  He probably keeps a “diary” at Kos, and gets all his screensavers from MoveOn.org.

But he does raise an interesting question… even if unintentionally.  To wit, what exactly has John Kerry actually done as a Democrat?  Ever?

Talk about “fighting for __________ “ (insert your favorite liberal victim’s group here) is beyond cliche.  Its boilerplate.  And talk like that is Kerry’s specialty… his stock in trade.

But beyond the BS, what exactly has John Kerry ever accomplished? What policies has he seen instituted, what legislation has he passed in his 23 year Senate career?  Other than marrying the fortunes representing other men’s accomplishments, what has John Kerry actually DONE in life?

The Democrats, stupidly in my opinion, nominated Kerry in 2004.  Its a little late, sure, but shouldn’t someone on the left question just what kind of return they got for their investment?

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Bat: The leftie extremists want the Dems to effect a communist takeover of the US, and aren’t happy that the Party they bought isn’t marching to their tune.

Well, they can always vote for Fred Thompson instead.
