tasering free speech away

[frandroid]

Many people have been posting the Don't Tase Me Bro MC Hammer/Tasered student mix. Maybe the weird students idly standing by bugged you a little bit. Maybe, if you got more curious and offended, you went and checked out the disturbing unmixed, original video clip of the event, where you can see that the guy got taken away by four cops for basically hugging the mike, and then he got handcuffed and tasered for resisting being taken away (they can't call it resisting arrest, since they weren't arresting him, unless I missed the Miranda reading). Aren't tasers meant for hyperviolent but unarmed suspects that cops can't plausibly shoot a gun at but are too clumsily to arrest with their own bare hands, even if they over power him four to one?
