Nov 18, 2008 - This is your civil rights at work. Allow activists to take them all away so that the police and military can do what ever they want to the defenseless masses that are left to be victimized by them and criminals.

Nov 18, 2008 - kardan77.You are a spammer. Your cops beat me audio recording means nothing.Get over it.

Nov 18, 2008 - Extremely disturbing? Shit, a woman blocking a taser shot with her baby is disturbing. This ain't shit.

Monkor001 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - you are NOT required to show ID, however if asked an officer is required BY LAW to give his badge number, at least the cops around here realize that and back off as soon as asked for it.The cops could have simply dragged him from the building, I'm not superman but I guarentee if another was to help I could remover anybody from any building withought tazering, then again I'm not a weak ass pansy most cops seem to be

climbice Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Monkor...Sorry to disappoint but yes you are required to provide identification to get into a building that clearly states that you need your identification.Guess what?Your dumb!

Nov 18, 2008 - Passive resistance is still resistance... no matter how you cry and yell to stop and yell that you are not fighting.... if an officer gives you an order... there is no "if", "and" or "buts" about it... you need to comply or they will make you comply...!

AngelusBarney Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - i say, if they needed to escirt him, lift him up, don't use a LETHAL WEAPON on him to get him to comply.they claim it's non-lethal, it has killed thousands, and they claim it's because of "excited delerium" HAH! what a croc.it 's just those neo-con PIGS making excuses for why THEY KILL people.i wish there were willing people who could have just used physical strength to lift him up and take him out.and this is not about compliance, this about a LETHAL WEAPON!

barberryman Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - You have no idea what your talking about! I've been shot with the taser and experienced its effects firsthand. It is not a lethal weapon, as a matter of fact its is classified as a non-lethal weapon, and only after going through a detailed testing process. This process included exposure to people with pacemakers!

barberryman Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Damn right! Ive been tased.....took the whole five second ride.........and last time I checked dead guys dont post messages on youtube!

barberryman Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - So can pepper spray, impact weapons, and control/takdown holds. But, your right, the cops should ask people, "Hey i'm going to tase you. Do you have any pre-existing medical conditions before I do?" DUMMY!!!!!!!!

Monkor001 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I'll bet $10 that you're a nigger. This is not an argument, simply a statement of fact.

tazmatic1 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - dude that ucla reporter got some NICEEEE Tigts....oh ya bad police brutality right on subject.Cough*

xXPUN1SH3RXx Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - What are "Tigts"?

climbice Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Monkor.Oh man you really pegged me. Is that some sort of parlor trick?Besides even if it were the case what would it matter other than now you are dumb and a racist?Simply a statement of fact...

AngelusBarney Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - @barberrymanyou sound like another pro-tazer pig. you have not heard of the thousands of deaths because of tazer use. they made the tazer as an alternative to the gun. now it's the alternative to physical force, like MOVING him OUT.Besides. I know the reason they die. It's often usually caused by the tazer, with the area, and usually a pre existing mental is cardiac disease, illness or difference.This is what has killed thousands, and made todays cops fat and lazy pigs.neo-con.

AngelusBarney Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - @barberrymanand also. NO NEED TO FLAME PEOPLE LIKE THIS JUST BECAUSE THEIR OPINION IS DIFFERENT THAN YOURS!!!and the above was an example. I say, learn to speak in a civilized manner on youtube. Or else you look like a dumbass, and i'm sure you have a proficient IQ.

barberryman Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Actually my point was simply that I've been tased and it didnt kill me. The last sentence was an attempt at humor. I dont need a lecture on civility. If you think what I said was uncivilized then you have not read very many posts on this subject. Mine was quite mild compared to most. Your attempt at correcting me failed miserably and anyone who can read knows who the dumbass is. Please dont bother me with your pettiness again. Thanks!

barberryman Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Yeah thats what he was doing, protesting.......uh, the Patriot Act? Thats right he was a one man protest! How dare those cops mess with his right to conduct a peacful protest! I think his violation of the library "quiet rule" was abhorrent though!

barberryman Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - You are such a ninja! Great insight master!

barberryman Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I cant believe that after all of the violence at schools recently, especially Virginia Tech, that people are saying, "They should have tried other ways to find out if he was a student." He refused to id himself, he was asked to leave, he refused, they made him. Cops cant play around on college campuses any longer. This guy could have been another maniac shooter. All of you posting these comments need to realize the world we live in!

Monkor001 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - So I take it that since you didn't deny what I said you owe me $10
