Some may have already heard about the university student that was Tasered and arrested after asking questions at a forum attended by US Senator John Kerry.

For those that havent read or seen this heres a couple of links including a video clip of the incident. And views from all angles here!!!

What i want to know is do you think he deserved to be tasered while pinned down? It was an open forum, Is this freedom of speech?

(i ask here on esato as its a diverse international forum)

so much for freedom of speach lah.. if thats what they do to ppl who ask questions I hate to see what they do to ppl who disagree with them. an open forum is meant to be a place of open discussion not a place of censorship of questions/ideas. how barbaric tasering someone for asking a question. totally wrong and inexcusable.

i think they were wrong to taser him while pinned to the floor. how many officers were trying to restrain him?!? he's not exactly a proffesional wrestler!

but at least he got his 5 mins of fame. hope he feels better now knowing the whole world saw him trying to make a point!

Now just imagine being a terror suspect in US custody. You'll probably get your head put in giant microwave oven to force a confession out of you.
