The guy was getting to his question, the cops just weren't letting him finish. Kerry was asking the cops to just let the guy finish asking his question, I do believe it was going somewhere.

It seems that the people for or against this kid see two different viewpoints though. Those for him see a passive inquisitive student politely asking his beloved Senator a question. All of a sudden those Fascist, Conservative pigs we call cops charge at him with Cattle Prods, Tear Gas, Fire Hoses, and RPGs (yes, a box of D&D.)

Those against him see John Rambo cursing out that lame excuse for a 'Nam vet, then proceeding to take out 2 M-16s, gunning down 12 cops, then throwing a grenade into a crowd of innocent bystanders before finally being subdued by the heroic police officers and their trusty tasers.

since National News is probably just showing the worst parts of the video and victimizing the kid.

Apparently what happened was that Accent, the student government-run commission that oversees the sessions when speakers come address the school, told the cops to escort him out when he said Blowjob, the kid obviously resisted, and the cops eventually tased him.

Was he violent or did he merit the tase? I don't think so. The articles and editorials that have been defending the cops say things like "He violently refused to leave the auditorium." or "What if he would have had a gun? The cops would have avoided another VT, and you'd all be singing a different tune." But that's the whole point, he wasn't violent, he was just shrugging off the cops, snatching for his mic, and trying to stay in his place. And he didn't have a gun, so the cops' reactions weren't justified.

Could the kid have been a little bit more respectful in the way he addressed the senator, or gotten to the point quicker? Absolutely.
