The police officers were out of line, and Andrew could have handled it better and gone down a little more respectably, but in the end it makes the news and gets spread.
Had this happened in a town hall meeting with Bush, we'd all be screaming bloody murder, what is the difference with Kerry?


Your brother needs to be re-trained. Tasering people is not the way to silence them. You wait until he actually is a public disturbance, and then you handle things without unnecessary force -- cuff him and escort him out. Don't taser him while he's pinned to the floor and you haven't even brought out the cuffs.

And fucking answer his question when he asks why he's being arrested.
