you have a freedom of speech - until you abuse it, really.

Sure we can all agree that his line of questionning was under structured and he came across in a fairly stubborn way BUT
DOESN'T THIS SHOCK ANYONE?
In the land where freedom of speech is our alma mater the country has become so disconnected from the notions of personal liberty.
One cannot express himself without fearing the worse. WTF?
If this video had been taken in a country like Iran perhaps everyone single one of you would be outraged calling the authorities behavior barbaric and uncalled for.
Hypocrisy in democracy. Thankfully we still have that bit of freedom left to practice at will freely.

very shocking, and very strange really. seems like the police were given an order and they just carried it out mindlessly and without emotion
the kid is a nutcase though. terrible actor to boot. i would have smacked him around in elementary school.

No, it doesn't shock me. He was out of line, and purposefully trying to cause a scene. If he really wanted to get an answer to his question, he would have made a sincere request after the 'last' question, and probably been allowed to ask it. As a result he was escorted out, but he resisted and caused a bigger scene.
You want to talk freedom of speech? Then he can organize his own question and answer session. He was on OTHER people's time. He didn't put that event together.

look, it's absurd that 6 officers were needed to do this.
also absurd that Kerry continues to answer the question after the kid is tazed.
there was no need to taze the kid anyways considering they could cuff him and carry him out easily with 6 people.
then again there was no reason to forcibly remove him from the podium in the first place for asking an uncomfortable question. you just can't do that to someone, regardless of how ing annoying he is.
this was a public rally for god's sake
it is a disturbing trend either way - that the usa is quickly moving towards a police state, and also that a generation of spoiled white middle class with attention disorders believes they are doing something patriotic or important by being a complete ass.

Maybe you don't realize that a police officer is an enforcer of the law.
