The proper way to get tazed...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

If they guy had physically stopped another person from using the mike, pushed them away or made threats then I can see cops stepping in.

I think it is overzealous if the guy is asking more questions (be they conspiracy theory or legit).

I was just at a conference where John Kerry was the speaker. During the Q&A section, a hyperactive young man grabbed the microphone while someone else was asking a question, proclaiming that he would like to ask a question. The leader of the conference just announced 5 minutes before that the current person asking a question was to be the last person to ask a question. The hyperactive young man was being forced by the police to leave the building. During this dramatized event, John Kerry said to the security to let him ask the question, but first let him finish with the current one being asked. The police respected John Kerry’s request but stood very closely to the young man.

From a firsthand account on facebook.

Isn't touching someone without their consent assault?

No...

Exactly what my point is, if wasn't going towards the election dude and pointing a knife at him, do you seriously need freak'n 5 officers ontop of him, screaming at him, hurting him, and even result to tazing. Arresting someone because he refused to leave without his question being answered. I thought the US would do anything, like sacraficing lives to find freedom, while they can't even complete such a simple task in their own soceity.

I'm not flaming Americans here, but like thats just disturbing.

How do you know he didn't have a knife? Police are trained to do that for a reason.
