  • @FLSHBK1 In Europe the cops would have lost their jobs (if not more) for using unnecessary force. (you know there is no need for tasing a guy you clearly have under control).

    And cutting the line, causing a mild ruckus, and finishing with asking ones question is clearly not illegal. Also I am pretty sure that (at least in europe) the police has to tell you, why they are arresting you. Getting arrested without being told happens in North Korea, but not in a "free and democratic" country.

  • should have tased him right off the rip

  • we all came for 1:54

  • @networkdeath yeah but they had no RIGHT to touch him and push him from the beginning right?.. "Throw Them All Out" got it.. ;D

  • @andymeyerswallowspoo turns out this dude most likely did as a publicity story. Sure there is more to the story this video shows but what you CAN see in this video is about six cops sitting on one guy and failing to restrain him without the use of a tazer gun. How bad is their training and how fucking lazy are they that they can't put cuffs on a student without excessive force? And saying 'well at least he didn't get shot' doesn't make it right. America, home of the free!

  • america has gone to shit

  • Ignorance is a trait you seem to be quite fond off my friend

  • @andymeyereatsshit Yes he resisted the arrest, and yes the use of taser can be justified, but if the guy is on the ground and five people are on him, then these five people should be able to cuff him and make him quiet without tasering him. Second, I'm already in the US and have met some polite and open-minded people here with whom I can discuss even if we disagree without being insulted or threatened. Freedom of speech is a right that we're lucky to have, and American people can be proud of it.
