I think they profiled him. If you read this article then you can understand why I say this. That's probably why they were standing around the microphone before he started speaking. Kids not an angel but I don't think he deserved to be arrested or tased.

His 1st amendment rights were violated.....that kid can sit back for life on the settlement he is gonna get! Can you say Gloria Allred??? All he did was ask a question and Kerry seemed to have no problem with it...he was gonna answer it!

What, if anything, did Kerry have to say about the incident???

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

The police in that instance initiated the confrontation, then escalated it. I think that they wanted to try out their new tazor. They simply had to let him finish his rant, and escort him out. End of story. Now they're gonna get sued and lose. Idiots.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Kerry, D-Mass., said Tuesday he regretted that a healthy discussion was interrupted, and said he never had a dialogue end that way in 37 years of public appearances. "Whatever happened, the police had a reason, had made their decision that there was something they needed to do. Then it's a law enforcement issue, not mine," he told The Associated Press in Washington.

John Kerry had every oppurtunity to take charge of the situatioand diffuse it. What did he do? He prattled on and pretended not to notice. Lost my vote for all time, too. Even if he walks barefoot across Cape Cod Bay. Lunkhead!
