I can't verify this but it's supposedly from Kerry:
Quote:
"In 37 years of public appearances, through wars, protests and highly emotional events, I have never had a dialogue end this way, Kerry said in a statement. I believe I could have handled the situation without interruption, but I do not know what warnings or other exchanges transpired between the young man and the police prior to his barging to the front of the line and their intervention. I asked the police to allow me to answer the question and was in the process of responding when he was taken into custody.
I was not aware that a taser was used until after I left the building, he continued. I hope that neither the student nor any of the police were injured. I regret enormously that a good healthy discussion was interrupted."

The Student has been released from Prison and 2 of the officers have been put on leave.. the students are apparently now protesting today. His Lawyer is pushing to have all the charges against him dismissed.
Red his behavior was just not that far out for an event on a College Campus.
