Kara lives in some kind of world where police are evil, and when they actually do their jobs (you know, instead of hanging out at the kwik-e-mart buying donuts, or getting drunk and shooting stop-signs) it is seen as an act of evil Big Brother government ****ting all over civil rights and liberties. Which it is not. It is the police doing their job.
Nobody really needs to defend it anymore. It is all in the video, and it is all in what he was charged with (resisting arrest, disturbing the peace.) He was dealt with accordingly. The police are people trying to do their jobs. They have tools to do it effectively. They used them appropriately. If anyone should ***** about anything, they should point out that, despite being a nuisance, talking out of turn, and being a dick to a U.S. Senator (whether warranted or not, was straight disrespectful) he was essentially hauled off for asking too tough questions and hogging the mic. If you want to make a connection to a police state or police overstepping their bounds on democracy or whatever, start there (Though you might have a hard time as he was also pretty much arrested for being a goddamn child about the whole thing, making a scene, including all the extra moaning about getting tazed.)
Kara also seems to live in some kind of world where all of this board's arm-chair morality reviews and subjective majority opinions vs. subjective minority opinions actually mean something.
