Student Tasered at John Kerry Event



There are several different videos of this on the internet, some longer than others. I chose this one because of the relatively high quality of the video. However, this one does not show the student's entire rant on the microphone. If you want to see any of the other versions, just go search YouTube. There are a bunch of them. The guy does talk longer than he is supposed to, and is clearly riled up, but is that a reason to shoot him with a taser? I think this is another instance of police brutality. The sick part is that John Kerry is on the stage making jokes about it in the background, not even doing anything to solve the problem.

Does this remind you of anything? How about the Iranian UCLA student that was tasered multiple times for being in the university library without a student ID card?
