While this is true, it pissed me off that Kerry's standing there saying "let him go, everyone calm down, I'd like to answer his questions," while they're dragging his ass outside for unknown reasons. Inciting a riot? Right. Yeah he's a douchey 21 year old but come on, I can't see the need for handcuffs and a taser when Kerry's standing on the stage willing to talk with this guy.
That other student taser video-I could see a reason for the eventual taser, but this one is just...ugh. If Kerry's willing to enter into discourse with the kid, I hardly see it as inciting a riot.
Of course that girl screeching in the background didn't help but I kind of felt the need to yell 'you guys are pigs' myself. Seriously, can't two big burly cops do the job? Did they need 5?
