Quote:Unjustified arrest -- yeah, I think it's understandable why he tried to resist. Not very smart, but still understandable.
You don't resist arrest and shout 'why am I being arrested' unless you're trying to make a scene. The question isn't whether or not he is correct, its whether or not he's escalating the situation. As far as morally correct or incorrect, I don't disagree with your overall point:)
Quote: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.
I don't think Kandrathe is off the mark in his reply. There are plenty of young students willing to take freedom of speech and civil disobedience to its logical end. This may be ignorance since I'm from the 'liberal Northeast', but my general experience is that a.) that kind of blunt questioning is common and b.) the vast majority of the time its dealt with civilly on both parts.
The worst that generally comes of it is someone being removed civilly, but only after a good deal of trying on their part to get removed.
As Kandrathe said, the prevalence of 'non-lethal weapons' like pepper spray and tazers, in conjunction with poor training by security personnel, makes this kind of situation-gone-bad more common.
