Can cops do what they want in America? Does it usually work like this? This is far very away from the freedom america is proud about.

Apparently, one of the students there said that he wasn't resisting and they tasered him anyway.
I have two cops in my family and even they admit that a lot of policemen use their power to their advantage. Police brutality DOES happen but I can't say for sure that excessive force was used in this particular case.

Lesson learned, once the police became involved because the student would not leave the stand after the allotted time, the student should have obey the officers request to back away from the mike
Instead the student disobey orders and questioned what was going on, that was his mistake, the police when conducting police business are not their to negotiate what they are doing they are in charged plain and simple, obey the orders, no matter if you feel they are wrong, because as you see you will not win

Watch the video, the cops used enough force to get a disruptive person under control. If he had left when asked his dumb butt would not have been tazed. It was not brutality. When I was on the job years ago, I would have kidney stomped that punk and dragged him by his heels out of the room.

Watching the video link you posted I see the "student" push away the officer at the end of his speech. That physical action is all that is necessary. If someone pushed you in front of the police you would expect the officer to take action. This is no different. The officer is taking action. You will also notice the police are not yelling at him, they are clam and in charge. Daniel, I suspect you are the "student" in the video.

It is not police brutality unless the force was deemed unwarrented by whomever reviews actions of officers in that jursdiction.
"WHAT DID I DO!?!?!?!" As your lip is bleeding from the cheap shot they took.
"IM NOT RESISTING" Yes, yes you are, becuase if you were not, we would not have 5 officers on top of you trying to get your arms back behind your body.
We dont like to dogpile, so we don't do it unless we need to.

Ah, yes... Youtube.
This is in no way a question, you are just trying to stir the pot.
There is a difference between civil liberties and blatant civil disobedience. Follow the rules my friend and you will be a happier person and will never have a problem with the police or anyone else.

The student was not arrested or tased for his question. He had gotten to the point that he was harrassing and he refused to stop when asked to. He was arrested for public nuisance and tased for resistig arrest.

Dog Lover: Are the "RULES" that a citizen should not speak freely ? This kid stood in line and waited his "turn". He asked for permission to speak. Not that he should need a permission to speak.
Why don't corrupt follow the rules ?
DId the cops not like the content of the question ??? DId the cop want to hurry up and get done so he could get to Dunkin Donuts for a break on taxpayers time?
Can you imagine ... if every meeting had to run on time or you would be tasered. LOL. You can 't be serious about "following a rule" .... can anyone site a rule about being on time for meetings / not to speak too much ?

Eh, the kid was resisting the police. When they went over to him, he was not cooperating. He didn't have to do that.
