IMO the kid got what he had coming. dont get me wrong i dont like cops as much as the next guy, but they were clearly doing their job. the kid wanted to get rowdy, was being escorted away, got sparked and thats it end of story. had he just left like they asked him to he would of never got that many volts run through him

They had no reason to arrest him. But on the other hand if he wasnt being such a bitch and if he were more settle then it could have become a different out come in the end.
He got what he had coming, if you resist theyre going to try all their might to restrain you.
The tazer is a great restraining tool because it acts quicker then pepper spray but it cant harm anyone around it like pepper spray gas does.
Oh and op try not to use too much caps.

He was given the opportunity to leave but continued to cause a stir. He was going all over the place and would not stand still. He was asked to comply numerous times. After you're on the gorund just give it up...... stupid kid. He was told he would be tazed if he did not comply. He got tazed because he was still going all over the place. I personally think that this was a stunt. In bad taste, yes. Do you have the right to free speech, yes, but when you're in someones house you don't disrespect them. I think maybe the tazed was a little over the line, but then again, if the cops used a choke hold to restrain him and bring him under control would we be more apaulled by these actions?
What's worse, getting tazed, or a police choke hold to restrain you?
My main issue is with Kerry. Where was he at? Kerry was mic'd up and a simple shout or move by him to control the crowd and I think this would have been diffused. If he would have told the officers to leave him alone and that he would answer the questions I think this would have been a non-issue and no one would have gotten tased. This man wanted to run the leading country of the free world, yet he cannot control a college student and an auditorium of a couple hundred people..... ugh
This kid was a left-winger too and he got tazed so I don't want to hear about how "they're (right wing)" is suppressing free speech. This was/is a left-wing only event.
Last thought... I think university cops ARE A JOKE and don't like 99.9% of them. I think they can't get real police jobs and that most are degenerates. I've dealt with UF cops before and they're ghheeeyyyyyyy. But to save your ass, comply with an officers request. If your free speech/civil liberites were broken you can always sue and keep things non-violent.

What is it with cops in the states having a hard-on for pushing people around? Provoking people but then not having the sack to handle anything without weapons. American mentality I guess.... we like to fight fire with fire. If one of these cops had just remained calm and said to the kid "listen, you dont want to go to jail tonight, let's go outside, I will try to explain the situation to you, and we can all calm down" then there probably would be no issue right now....
I watched a couple people having issues with the cops in Europe, from London, to Germany and Finland, the cops remain really calm, and just keep telling dudes like this to relax. They calmly explain the situation and usually the offender calms down and goes home. The one that really impressed me was in London, it was this one guy who was drunk as hell and had just been in a bar fight. He was yelling at the cops inches from their faces and they just kept telling him he needed to go home, and reminding him that he probably didn't want to go to jail that night. After a min. or two he finally got the idea, and started to walk home.
Force does nothing but escalate things, it makes people feel more wronged and they try to revenge the injustice they feel, of course each reaction is more swift and harsh until someone lands in jail or gets shot usually....

+1 in the video you hear the kid ask them not to tazer him...but the cops said nothing back. If one of them had just told him "STFU and calm down and you won't get tazered.", I bet the kid would have shut up and gone quietly.
