When a University of Florida student asked John Kerry if he was a member of the Skull and Bones as is President Bush, the university police moved in to grab him for arrest.
He resisted, asking what he had done to be arrested, was wrestled to the ground and told he would be tased, begged not to be tased, all while John Kerry tried to answer his question.
My questions are these: First, why didn’t John Kerry tell the police to let him alone to ask his questions? Second, why didn’t John Kerry stop talking over the melee and insist they let the student go as he had done nothing shown on the film that was illegal except resist an arrest that shouldn’t have taken place. Third, why did the campus police use a taser on the student?
Have we become Mother Russia, where no one is free to question any politician in a public forum?
Here’s even more disturbing video of the incident. The police said he was inciting a riot. He seemed to me to be asking a question .

Left-on-left love. I love it.
The dude was acting like a whiney little _______ and WANTED an incident. It’s how these far-lefty wackos act these days.
When a police officer tells you to chill, you chill. He deserved what he got.
As for Kerry, he’s a dope.

I’ll clarify - he seems to have deserved the tasering when he kept on resisting. He didn’t deserve the initial “arrest.” There doesn’t seem to be a point to that at all.
It’s very simple: when officers tell you to knock it off, you knock it off.
And I agree, why didn’t that chucklehead Kerry do something other than try to answer the stupid question?

No, a second clarification, upon finding out more details. The punk deserved it - all of it.

I stand corrected, Big Mo. Thanks.

I assess no blame on Senator Kerry for this. He was trying to answer the student’s ridiculous questions and I would be very displeased if the Senator had tried to interfere with campus security. You do not need to be a fan or opponent of Kerry to see he had no role in this.

David,
Upon listening to the tapes again, Sen. Kerry did say it was OK for him to ask the question and seemed to at least imply (I’m going from memory so he may have said it outright) that the young man should be let go.

I just heard that the officers involved in tasering this young man were suspended. I didn’t catch the balance of the story but I suppose excessive force would have something to do with it.
I do agree, David, while I don’t agree with Senator Kerry’s politics, this is one instance where I see no culpability on his part.

The tasering is what bothered me. You don’t know a person’s health issues and tasering can sometimes kill.
There were enough officers around who could have put a knee in his back, handcuffed him and marched him out of there. Tasering was over-doing it.

J;
On that point we agree.
