Student Tasered for Asking Wrong Question : Another Day in the Empire

Student Tasered for Asking Wrong Question : Another Day in the Empire: "As the video below demonstrates, we now live in a fascist dictatorship, and if you ask the wrong question at a forum or public event, you will be tasered by the police, who are basically thugs, no different than Hitler’s brown shirts. In the video, a student is molested and violently assaulted by the police for asking John Kerry if he was a member of Skull and Bones. It is interesting to note a couple things in this video: 1) the police, or campus security, are several feet away from the microphone, posed to attack anybody who dares ask an inappropriate question, 2) notice the almost complete lack of response on the part of the audience when the student making the mistake of asking the wrong question is attacked, and 3) Kerry, as well, does not seem to be bothered by the tasering, as it is now quite normal to be assaulted for exercising your First Amendment right in public, never mind more than 200 people have died from the use of taser since 2001, and in June of last year the Justice Department announced it would investigate the deaths. Once upon a time, and not so long ago, police would routinely don full riot gear before confronting students, especially students engaged in free speech. Now? Moooooooooooooooo."

UK armed forces went into Iraq with a written policy that allowed hooding, and with a policy of training interrogators to use hooding, stressing and sleep deprivation to gain intelligence. Iraqi civilians were routinely hooded in up to three sandbags - and even old plastic cement bags. When Baha Mousa died in September 2003, partly as a result of abuse while hooded, common sense dictates that at least at that point those in positions of responsibility within the civil service and military would have acted to change the poli...
