What is strange to me is the way the UPD is using this guys website as an excuse for their behavior. “He brought a camera so he wanted to get tazed” “he set this whole thing up”, makes sense to me. “He has a website with videos on it” so therefore he wanted to get tazed. They have got to be kidding.

When on earth did he say FU to the police?
I don’t hear it and I’ve watched this video from three different cameras.
Also what happened the first ammendment?
What happened to our right to question the government?
Another proof of America taking away our rights.
What the cops did was justified to a point. TO A POINT.
They crossed the line.
He did not violently resist.
He resisted like any of us would.
Honestly who can say that they aren’t thinking the same things?
Or something relatively close to the same things?
He was justified in what he did.
I understand the cops were doing their jobs but they took it too far.
They caused more of a riot than he did.

i believe that that taser-use should stop. more than 200 people already died because of taser. in this video you see the policeman KILLING a man with the teaser:

“Free Speech does not include being abusive in a forum such as that”

You are incorrect. Free speech according to is corresponding amendment includes rude questioning, showboating, heckling, etc. As long as the speaker is able to continue with his speech then he is well within the law. Kerry was able and willing to continue, as you can here him saying so in the video.

Andrew Meyers was falsely arrested and he has the right resist that false arrest. In reality every student had the right to keep those police from assaulting him.

Oh he was rightfully tasered. He tries to cause an uproar which could lead to rioting and people getting injured, or possibly killed? So what just let him carry on and get away with it? The police were well within their rights.
