I'm pissed. I just saw
the video of t
he guy ASKING a qu
estion during the event that John Kerry spoke at. Now, I have a few questions of my own. First of all, what did this guy do wrong? I saw nothing worthy of him being arrested. NOTHING. Okay, maybe the resisting part but be
cause he wasn't d
oing anything to begin with, that shit goes right out the fucking window. Next, they had him on the ground with somewhere from 4 to 6 co
ps
SITTING on top of
him so he c
ant mo
ve. Why tas
er him? If a suspec
t is subdued, why add injury t
o insult and taser s
omeone who cant
move? Next q
uestion, what happened to the first amendment? I remember something in the Bill of Rights saying that we have the freedom of spee
ch, religion, press, and assembly. Well, t
here was an assembly there for Kerry. Are we gonna shoot him with a taser, NO. The
person that filmed the vide
o was able to release it
without any repercussions, so that cov
ers the press part of everything. It wasn't a religious gathe
ring so religion won't be included in this. Now, here comes the
fucked up part. This guy was taken into cust
ody and tased for asking a question. Clearly a violation of his fi
rst amendment rights.
This kind of
thing has also
happened to me. I was not arr
ested but I was asked to leave dur
ing the auction of the BTK kille
rs house. The police had the street bl
ocked off and would not let anyone watch the auction. They violated the citizens' right to assembly. And the funny part is, before
we even got on the street, a cop told us it was alright to go and watch and take pictured of the house as long as we got nowhere near the auctio
n table, which was cool. But, on this particular day, a fat pig posing as a bike cop decided to "enforce" his authority.
Well, enough about me. Let's
get back to the topic on hand. I'm sure that these cops won't see more than a slap on the wrist but the one thing I would love to see happen to them is this; I d
on't care if they don't lose their jobs, I want to see them demoted all the way down to traffic cops. You know, meter maids. That is the kind of punishment they deserve. That has t
o be one of the most embarrassing jobs i have ever seen. They aren't cops but they try to act like one and they always come off looking like an idiot. I think that's about all for this, if you haven't seen the vi
deo, I have posted it below. Let me know what you guys think about this situation and what should be done about the whole thing.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the government for a redress of grievances." -Taken from http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/funddocs/billeng.htm

I applaud the Dean for having the balls to stand up to the power hungry lapdogs. It really shows that he cares about his students enough to call 'bullshit' when needed.
