I definatly dont think he is an inocent kid and that he wasnt happy for the attention. Its like protestors getting arrested at a sit in, that is part of the point. but just because that is their reason for being there does mean that it is right to arrest them. (and taser them in this case).

I've written senators, voted for other parties, etc... the sad fact is that as an individual there is really no way to actually change any of this ****e situation we're in right now. What it takes is individuals brave enough to step up and cause some controversy which will either incite change or be controlled. In this incident the kid was obviously put down thanks to some overzealous campus cops. Granted he was being obnoxious and technically resisting arrest, but none of that would have happened had the piggies done their job and stayed away from the kid in the first place. Last time I checked some piece of **** officer has no right to judge my opinion or limit my freedom of speech.
I wish someone would go around tazing cops and get that on the damn news.

I don't know. From what I saw, he could have avoided being tazered if he was cooperative with the officers, instead of resisting. If it were me, I would have cooperated right away, even if I didn't agree with why they were asking me to stop.Then, if Ihad a problem with the way they handled my questioning (stopped me from continuing), I would have considered taking them to court. That's how out system works. We trust that officers will do the right thing with the power they hold. If they don't, we have to deal with the system at a higher level, not confront them directly (or fight them).
