Didn't think I'd be saying that nowadays, but Michelle Malkin has the police report on yesterday's Taser incident. What does Kerry do when a student shoves himself forward in line during a Q&A session that's already over, shouting obscenities and demanding the senator take his question?
Why, he takes the question. He rewards the terrorist for acting out.
The report also contends the kid lifted one officer up, and pushed and kicked another. Which makes it all the more OK -- morally, but not procedurally -- for them to Taser him after knocking him down and surrounding him with five or so cops.
The police response was pretty embarrassing. It was a catfight. There was no speed, no force to the arrest, even once it was clear he was resisting. They pushed him around and let him fight, even grabbing his shirt to keep him from running.
An aggressive tackle, followed by handcuffs and carrying him out, would have ended the controversy immediately, probably before any cameras turned on. The problem -- as with the last student-Tasering incident -- was that the police pussyfooted around until the situation got out of control, then overreacted with a Taser. They claim that with all the people they had, they still couldn't get the second hand into the cuff. Ten arms can't move one.
