Second, once it was clear he was being arrested, he should not have resisted. All he had to do is to physically comply, verbally declare he was being arrested unfairly and wants others to witness it. The fact that he physically resisted is a rather clear sign he was looking to make a scene, to provoke the officers into worse action.

I do not believe he was looking to "make a scene". He tried to ask a question (which admittedly was nothing more than an attack on Kelly). He doesn't want to be arrested and he doesn't understand why they are arresting him (and apparently they wouldn't tell him). Unjustified arrest -- yeah, I think it's understandable why he tried to resist. Not very smart, but still understandable.

"Disturbing a public education function"? Give me a break. He was a loudmouth asking a question. If they don't want people to ask questions, don't give them a damn microphone. It's called "Freedom of Speech" for a reason, damnit.

I am quite apalled at this. They are standing, what, 5-6 officers around him--tazering him. What, do they think he's going to pull a gun on them?

Does this really happen that often in the US? I've never heard about anything like this around here. Then again, Denmark is a small country.
