Two arresting officers have been placed on paid administrative leave. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, a panel of faculty and students, and the University of Florida Police Department said they would investigate the arrest.
BULLSHIT. They had every reason to tazer the ****er, he was resisting arrest. Mace would have been just as funny though...

but why was he getting arrested? the kid was given permission to ask kerry a question, and when they didn't like where the question was going they told him to step down, when he continued the question they cut his mike, and when he finally asked the question he was being drug out of the auditorium. i see something wrong with that. ok so he was a little upset that his 1st ammendment right was being stripped away from him in a room full of his peers, but hell i think he acted as most people might in a situation like that. big f***up by the police on that one
He just wanted to be a dick and have his opinion heard.
I still don't know what he was arrested for though...taking too long to ask a question?
Do the police have a right to tazer someone resisting arrest? Yes
Did they justify why they were arresting him? No
We have rights and he asked them what he was being arrested for and they didn't answer. They came at him in a confrontational way and he got defensive, he said he would leave on his own but they continued to grab him. I think its kinda messed up.

Was he being arrested or was he just being escorted out for disruptive behavior? He started yelling, "why are you arrresting me". We don't if they were or not.
At first I thought this was a case of cops abusing their power and using excessive force, but now that I read the articles and see the video, he did have it coming. He was trying to make a scene and was just craving attention. He was yelling and screaming and causing a scene. He was disrupting the presentation and the campus police had every right to ask to leave for disorderly conduct. Everything was civil unitl he got out of line. They tried to remove him from the auditorium, he resisted and fought back, and got tazed. GOOD FOR HIS ASS!!

This is what I love about .net: We actually look at the available evidence and have a civilized discussion. Some other boards are going 100 pages of e-lawyering babble and name-calling...
I think he got what he deserved. Good thing he wasn't black though. I don't even want to imagine the circus it would be right now if he was black.

That kid was already a conspiracy theorist, that is obvious by listening to what he had to say and ask. How do you think this whole incident is going to make him feel about his beliefs? How do you think other conspiracy theorists are reacting to this scene? It was all bad form. Yes, cops can tazer you for resisting, but they had no right to arrest him in the first place. It was public property and he had questions he wanted answers to, that's what the meeting was about. He had a right to get up and ask his questions no matter how ludacris they were, and to have them answered. Even Kerry knew that and was trying to answer them. This kid saw the arrest as him being stripped of his first amendment rights and he wasn't far off the mark.

Good call on the race card - although I rate when people play it you are more than 100% correct.
I was listening to the radio last night and heard another student describe what happened. He said that Kerry was in the middle of answering someone else's question and the kid barged to the front of the line and took the mic. The cops followed him up there cuz they didn't know what he was going to do...they let him rant for awhile and then asked him to leave. When he didn't leave they removed him.
From everything I've heard this kid is an attention whore and does this kind of thing a lot.

Everybody keeps saying why was he arrested but we don't know if he was being arrested or just being escorted out. HE started yelling why are you arresting me. All I saw was them grabbing his arms and trying to calm him tone. He started acting up and throwing a fit and started screaming. Maybe I'm wrong but, IIFC, if you are being arrested, you are typically put in cuffs. The only time I saw cuffs was when he was on the floor after they restrained him.

I once saw a cop explaining something about how you can be detained and not arrested, but both instances will have you in handcuffs. I think detained meant you're not going to be booked or something.
But yeah... He was being escorted out and was already screaming that he was being arrested.
I think he was (originally) just being escorted. I mean, they asked him to stop, he didn't, so they grabbed him and carried him out and he flipped. If he was being arrested they would have told him so and cuffed him right there. If he had calmed down, he wouldn't have been tazed. Definitely asked for it (purposely too).
