America, free speech my ass!

**This is gonna bring up one helluva debate...**

That guy did nothing wrong, why did they do that to him?!!!!

I believe this was posted yesterday, or an article of it anyway..

Apparently this guy's a delinquent and he makes a mockery out of everything, that attention whore deserved it :|

Seeing as it came out that that guy does this kind of crap for his website. I think he should get another "tase."

"Don't tase me bro!"

Why is the response on this forum so different from all the video responses, they all say the same thing really, "What a travesty!"Kritical_Strike

Based on that video it kinda looked like the police started the whole thing. Yes he shouldn't have resisted but he just asked a question and then got hauled away. It was justified to taser him but was it justified to touch him in the first place?

I'm not from America and I'm viewing that video as an isolated incident but can anyone explain how it was right for the police to escort away a guy just asking a question?

He was resisting a lot, and was repeatedly told that if he doesn't calmly comply he will be tasered.

And what does he do? Continues to resist, and then starts whining like a b**** when he finally gets tasered, what an idiot.

I guarantee if he would of just walked out calmly when the police approached him, or just calmly let them handcuff him and walk out, he would not of had 6 cops on him, and he wouldn't of gotten tasered.

He did something wrong, the cops overreacted, everybody loses.MTBare

Exactly, he went over-board and the cops went over-board. Like I said earlier, I blame the lethal weapon movies, cops always got that itch to pull out that taser or pepper spray. Sits on their belt all day, they use them the first chance they get. The guy picked the wrong spot to be dumb.

the tasering is very questionable...I have a hard time believing that they had to taser him ( I mean come on they had atleast 6+ police on him...he even says get off me)....I would have prefered they handcuffed his hands and legs then carried him out like the child he was acting

pretty simple actually: he went past the time limit, was asked nicely to leave, he made a scene, the cops intervened, he resisted and acted like a complete ass to the point where they could not restrain him, so they tasered him, i would have done the same...g-unit248

you guys do realize what those cops did was illegal, he committed no crime...Apocalypse33

Actually...he was being escorted out of the room....and he resisted. Therefore, he's responsible for what occured. They did warn him.

Ah..yes you can. Private property means you CAN be asked to leave.

[QUOTE="DrummerJon"][QUOTE="Apocalypse33"]you guys do realize what those cops did was illegal, he committed no crime...Apocalypse33

F yeah party at this guys house cause he can't do anything about!! Because I mean since the host can't ask him to leave you can't ask us to leave w00t w00t 24/7 party!!

If you want to get technical, distrubing the peace. But if you are obnoxious, the owner/operator/moderator of the property/venue has the right to ask you to leave. If you don't leave, they have the right to seek police assistance. If you refuse to leave upon officer request, they have the right to grab you and escort you out. If you resist, they have the right to subdue you. The kid was justifiably tased.

Dude was asked to leave by the folks in charge and didn't. You gotta leave when the folks ask you to. You really got to go when the cops ask you to.

A position I'd expect to hear from someone in an authoritative position - namely, being a mod on Gamespot. Being in the Q and A session is not illegal. Asking questions in the session is not illegal. Asking questions out of turn is rude, but not ILLEGAL.

The cops made a spectacle out of a non-issue, Kerry was going to answer his last question. The cops overstepped their boundaries.

But being a mod, you have to support authority. I understand.

He was clearly being a disturbance, sorry. If you knock off this "justice" crap and pay attention, this guy is a complete asshat and he was going to take it as far as it could have gone.

That is a good one ;)

Because of all the life I have lived, all my experiences, things I do, people I meet, things I have done . . . you are saying my role as a moderator on some gaming forum guides my judgment? You made that insightful judgment based on your detailed knowledge about me?

If you're asked to leave by the the folks in charge of some place, you have to leave. It is the law man. It isn't complicated Simple as that. Folks can argue about how the cops handled it, if they went crazy or not, dude still is required to leave when he was told to.

That guy wanted all the attention he could possibly get. He made such a scandal I'm surprised the cops didn't tase him some more. I would've, but I suppose you have to be careful being a cop in a University that's probably full of hateful bloggers :p

In any case, I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

"Don't tase me bro!"

I find it funny that they tazered that kid. While I was in Austin we had to drive by the capitol building. The first day there was a man holding a sign that said "F*** BUSH" , and no1 did anything. The second day the same guy was there with others holding signs that said "9/11 was an inside job" and again proceded to stand there all day.Smoke89

That's free speech, you aren't hurting anyone by what you're saying and the people who are disagreeing with you can't do anything :D

That idiot deserved it, I lol'd when he got tasered.

I still find it sick that some1 would procede to put up signs saying 9/11 was done to ourselves.
