that guy is a trouble maker...and regularly pulls stunts

That's the media's spin. The reality is, he was asking Kerry questions and grandstanding a bit. If you watch the other videos, Kerry actually says "That's O.K., let me answer his questions" as they start pulling him away from the mic. The only thing this kid did wrong was to go over his alloted time on the mic, and to be a little loud. Neither is reason for the cops to use force. 6 cops can't just pick the kid up and carry him? You need a taser?

These cops went overboard, and deserve to lose their jobs. What's next? They gonna use tasers on loud drunks on disturbing the peace calls? They going to taser outspoken teens "I know my rights!" on traffic stops?

If you know me, you're well aware that I support a cops right to use force. However, using a weapon capable of shutting down a person's heart when you've already got a 6:1 advantage over a kid is excessive, even in my view.
