Excessive Use of Force at Kerry Meeting | Student Tasered

U.S. Sen. John Kerry’s townhall speech at the University turned into a hideous scene of excessive and vicious police force when a punk kid asked one too many questions. Watch the video and let me know if your stomach turns rotten or not!

There is no doubt the kid should have put his bravado firmly in check. Absolutely. The kid should have played by the rules of polite and civil behavior. Certainly. The kid deserved to be dragged by four policemen and Tasered as he screamed in pain? I don’t bloody think so!

The first thought that came to mind after watching the video? We’re trying to bring freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people and an obnoxious (yes!) Student at the University of Florida is Tasered for asking one too many questions to a U.S. Senator? The mainstream media has ignored this sickening spectacle. I’m disgusted.

More coverage at the StarBanner news (and clearly but shorter video).

    Seems this dude was fully aware of the outcome. A set-up on his part more the reality. Got a juice shot? Tough.
    PS – His performance was really down there with the bad actors guild.
