Not to mention Kerry was going to answer his question.

Plus IMO campus security all have a chip on there shoulder.

Well if you dealt with all those immature pricks, you'd have a certain mindframe too.

Cops in America are nothing compared to foreign countries. We can honestly make fun and even use slander to talk about the police. In other countries, from what my textbook states, talking slander is punishable by jail time. We can make money from yelling "Fuck the Police".

Im sure if this was a toned-down assembly, this wouldnt have escalated like it did. But look who was there. There are fine lines between making a point, and being a jackass. The kid was obviously beyond that line. Its not like we didnt see this coming. If he isnt controllable and wasnt observing the outline of the discussion/debate, he was asked to leave. That which he did not. One thing leads to another and he received due justice for being a out of control punk.

My hat goes off to the police.

The kid was obviously being obnoxious and was only doing it by means of attention. I love how people make a big deal about taser guns. Better yet they should've used a gun instead

Kerry doesnt get to choose the questions he answers... he did it to save face after his people cut the kids mic and started walking him out.

But not on that skinny kid at the speech. There are plenty of pressure points on a human body to get submission.
haha, that's an awesome video.

Probably, but after he said that the kid could have chilled out and gotten his questions answered.

Kerry did say wait and he wanted to answer the kids questions....but also 4 "cops" needed to take down 1 dude....
Afterwards, he was probably like "I'm the baddest motha fukka in the world"

Here's the main issue:

Why was he being escorted out?

He asked a simple, albeit controversial question to a big-name politician, and immediatley gets grabbed by the police.

Mind you, if he was black, he would have been beaten worse than I do myself at nights.
