Thanks for taking off your mask. Now we know who the real Eric is. You took longer than the others. I guess congrats is in order.


No mask - just telling you I support Law Enforcement in most cases and in this case clearly the guy was resisting and escalated a simple removal from the scene to attempted arrest to forcible arrest with a taser shock to get him to stop struggling.

He was asked to get to his question - the rule was 30 seconds, then he was given an additional 57 and he chose to blather on about his observations, grandstanding and not following the rules of the forum. When they asked him to leave and cut off his microphone he started dancing and making things worse. The reason people clapped was he had broken the rules and was being removed - not glee at seeing him tased.

He was not tased because of free speech violations or the question he asked - he was tased because he resisted being escorted from the room, and then started getting physical and verbally abusive - not a recipe for success with several armed security/police officers in any situation.
