Stupid neocon cops trying to protect Bushitler from the truth…er…wait a minute, is that Kerry speaking in the background?

Not sure what the kid did to attract the attention of the cops.  At the time the video picks up they’re standing behind him obviously waiting to take him into custody, at which point he begins resisting arrest (which justifies the use of the taser, I believe).

Assuming the cops had a legitimate reason for taking the kid into custody (I just don’t know at this point), everything on the video looks appropriate.  The cops attempted to arrest him, he resisted, he was warned several times that if he continued to resist he would be tased, he continued to resist, so he got shocked.

End of story.  And it isn’t a free speech issue.  As I’ve said over and over again when these left-wing nutters target people on the right, free speech doesn’t extend to disrupting other people’s peaceful assemblies or other people’s free speech.

I’d really, really like to know what this idiot did though.

Update: According to this article the kid (one Andrew Meyer) was rambling on and on way past his alloted time for asking a question.  He was asked to leave, he refused, the cops converged to remove him, he resisted…and you already know the rest.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable response from the cops to me.  He was disrupting this event and then refused to leave when the organizers asked him to.  Case closed as far as I’m concerned.  Allah isn’t so sure saying the cops come out looking bad too.

I couldn’t disagree more.  What are the cops supposed to do?  They were called in to remove someone who was disrupting a public event.  That person resisted arrest.  What are they supposed to do at that point, let him go?  Let him keep berating the speaker and denying everyone else their right to assemble at the event and ask the speaker their own questions?

This guy got what he deserved, and the cops did a fine job in a nasty situation.
