there were screwups by both parties in this case.
The "cops" or whoever they were asked him to limit his time. He copped and attitude and kept going. They gave him more time. he kept going and going and when he was asked to step away from the mic he refused.... I am sure there were others with questions.
Should they have "handled" him the way they did? no they shouldn't have. He should have had his questions answered. he didn't say anythign out of line but after being ASKED to limit his time he didn't. I'm sure others had questions and wanted to participate as well.
My impression was not that he was placed under arrest immediately. they were going to escort him out of the building and he went nuts and started fighting back. he should have just shut up and left and sought out a media source for the rest of his "ranting" but he fought back and wouldn't quit. At which point he was causing a disturbance and resisting and so they placed him under arrest which he also resisted.
I am really on the fence about this one.
I think EVERYONE screwed up.

I am so disappointed that the students did not jump to his defense. They outnumbered the cops and could have easily taken control away from them. This was a complete misuse of a police power. How awful.

The should have tasered him three times....
Once for being obnoxious.
Twice for asking not to be tasered, Bro!
and Three for wanting to talk to Kerry. :D
