Disturbing Police Action

SanDiegoish dug up a video documenting a University of Florida student getting tasered after asking a long-winded and somewhat inflammatory question at a John Kerry forum. It’s fairly disturbing, so be warned:

Although the guy was pretty rowdy, I don’t think he in any way necessitated tasering by the police/security guards there. He tried to ask a question, and yeah, didn’t stop talking/yelling when told to, but there were several security guards there bigger than he was that could have just removed him from the forum. They already had him on the ground when they started tasering him, for chrissakes. Just as disturbing was the fact that people in the audience were yelling at the security guards to stop, but they just kept right on “doing their job.” Jesus.
