Answer 1

He resisted arrest, nuff said.

Answer 2

I think free speech is no longer free. Yes he could have been more tactful, yes he should not have been so emotional but are these things worthy of bodily harm? I think not. This kid had something to say and it made others angry, so what, we still live in a country where opinions are freely given and taken and we should not expect to be physically hurt due to the reactions of others at what we say. The fact that he asked not to be tasered should have let the officers know they were not dealing with someone who had lost their senses, I'm sure he would have left peacefully if given the choice to leave or be tasered. Officers dont get to use those things very often and it probubly is a thrill to them any time the opportunity comes up. They did not use good judgement. Had he hurt someone physically then maybe, but all he was doing was wanting to be heard . This is what we get for speaking our mind.

Answer 3

Well first of all I don't think we are seeing everything here...the cops (security I guess) just walk up to him and are trying to get him out...what happened before that?

That said I live los angeles...and if these had been LA cops worse things would have happened. Here it's best to obey and show respect...and most of time the cops are pretty decent...but mess with them and you will get your but kicked.

Answer 4

Other than the humorous sound byte of "don't taze me, bro!" the flagrant display of abused authority is only outdone in its disturbing nature by the failure of anyone else to do anything about it. If that had happened in many other countries, the cops would have gotten their a#^#$#$ handed to them.
