Old video. He was being arrested and he did try to resist arrest. But the police are supposed to tell you what you are being arrested for. The police aren't supposed to arrest anyone they feel like it. But after the "anti-terror bill" that passed, basically there is no more constitution right for you.
What the police did was legal but unethical. Imo people shouldn't be afraid of protesting against authority, the authority should be afraid of the people protesting as it is in France apparently (according to "Sicko" by Michael Moores).
Yes they have the right to arrest him, but tell me, what exactly did he do wrong? Ask a hard question? Well then, it seems I am fucked because most questions I ask require some thought. And yes there is that bill that was passed, but that's an entirely different discussion, stupid as well though.
I've seen people moan about how he was resisting, but the fact is he's resisting an unlawful, unnecessary arrest.
They had no right to confront him in the first place.
It's like this:
Basically I live in a community where a vote's being held. This vote dictates who will govern the laws and make the important decisions for the community.
Now I'm interested; I've researched into his past, and I'm kind of skeptical and I want to ask him some questions, I know they'll be uncomfortable but it may be my only chance.
So when It's my time to ask the questions, I do so. And then I get some beefie policeman trying to stop be from expressing free speech. I can't see what I'm doing wrong and feel as if I'm being dictated, I feel as if I'm not being given my rights as a human being and a citizen of a lawful community where liberty is granted to everyone.
Now, if it was me. I wouldn't be one of those pussies who shuts the hell up because some doughnut scoffing, fat asshole.
But it's okay... Some people will. ala everyone who's said in this thread "He deserves it".
It wasn't the questions he asked, it was the fact that he was completely taking the piss and acting like a retard by yelling and refusing to be calmly escorted off the premises after breaking the conduct of the event. The wikipedia article gives you a pretty good idea of what an asshole this guy is.
Actually, it is well within the rights of the person holding the event to have anyone removed for any reason they please. In this case, it's because the guy was being a disruptive asshole. And read the wiki article, he started acting like a retard the second he grabbed the (wrong) mic - which is before the video even starts.
Here, the police officers, if something happens, they will push a kid to the ground, and keep their knee on their back, until they calm down, and then put them in hand cuffs.
I think thats a bit unnecessary - tackling someone to the floor.
Happens rarely... but I've seen it happen to another student I know, after he punched a wall.
The police are getting out of hand with the way they handle the law, especially when children are involved.
wow that must of hurt
