UF Student Tasered

[sparks19]

I to think he was initially just being escorted out of the building.... not actually arrested. Until he started to fight back into the room repeatedly. At which point I think they were going to arrest him.

I don't know why they were even removing him from the room but if he had just left he wouldn't have been arrested but instead he fought and fought and fought and they finally put him under arrest.

I don't agree with the way the whole thing went down but he sorta signed his own death warrant when he wouldn't give in and just leave.

Oooh. I wasn't aware it was, initially, just an escort out. Thanks for clearing that up! ^_^

I don't think they should has tasered him, but he shouldn't have fought back either. In this case, both of them made mistakes on how they handled the situation.

this is another situation where cops escalate the problem and then heap blame on the "suspect" and praise on themselves. again, college police are a freaking joke.

The student appears to be an upstart prick with a drama problem (entirely my opinion based on the video). It's my understanding that there was a limit on the number of questions and the time allowed to ask the questions. The student kept going on and on without allowing room for the first of his questions." It appears that he pushed the limits and police attempted to calmly escort him out at which case he escalated the scene after disobeying the rules of the forum.

The police took it too far, but so did the student. Lesson learned? Be respectful, ask legitimate questions, sit down and wait for an answer. Everyone else in the room figured it out.

Yup, exactly my feelings.

Where do you see them heaping blame on the guy and praising themselves?

The cops tasered the wrong guy. They should have tasered Kerry.
