killalou Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hey guys, this is a link to the University of Florida incident where a student was tasered for "attempting to create a riot" at a Kerry hearing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIYTJ75U4NU Although i think the kid went a tad overboard I still dont think the campus cops should have tasered him. I personally fell that the campus cops at school should worry about more important things then annoying students. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 That was ****ed up. I can think of very few times in which I'd beat a cops ***, but if I were there in that crowd.. that's one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 After watching another video of the same incident, he was sorta asking for it. In the video you posted, you can't really see how much of a chance the officers gave him to chill the **** out and cooperate; it just looked like they dragged him out and tazed the **** out of him along the way. Here's a better video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUtBlDu8azU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montahg Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Don't form an immediate opinion, look into the topic a bit in-depth. I found this video very informative about it, as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghnqIsdamow&NR=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I live in Gainesville and this kid is known throughout UF for causing problems. The day after Harry Potter came out he was holding a copy of the book and shouting the ending, ruining it for anyone who had not read it yet. I would have punched him right there! lol. Also, watch the video closely. The audience is clapping when the cops come for him, showing he clearly was not acting appropriate. He was not going to be arrested in the beginning, just escourted out. Who in their right mind "fights" with cops like he did? He was doing this on purpose to get "attention." It worked. The cops were telling him, "Keep up doing what your doing and we will taser you." What did he do? He kept it up, maybe even added a little spice. The kid is a retard and deserved what he got.

I dont know if this kid is "known" through UF ( I go to UF as well) but I will agree with you that he was probably causing some sort of attention.

elfdude Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 DONT TASE ME BRO! that made my night. Yea, i've never heard of a fratboy activist but I ****ing love it. P.S. If the cops woulda started manhandling me like that i'd prolly sue, but I don't think i'd ever be that big a douche either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBwillie Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 though i think the cops had no right to step in to begin with, it's best to just comply with what the cops want. his tantrum did, in my opinion, warrant tasering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
