lol please. I dont know which campus security you work for...but mine most def. do not have the ability to arrest. Look at what happened, he may have been out of line with asking multiple questions...but he asked multiple questions; OMG. Not only that, as soon as the mic is cut they try to handcuff him. Do research, see what really happened here...that security was just acting more thuggish than usual, because thats what campus rent-a-cops USUALLY are, a bunch of thugs.

[color-Violet]As usual, that is not the only thing that happened. Try looking for more videos on the incident or reading eyewitness reports of what went down. He didn't just ask a couple questions - he was a disruptive jackass who gave security personnel reason to target him.[/color]

update on it with some backstory, sounds like the kid is some jackass that tries to make a scene.

Why would you bother ranting towards the douche who lost, focus on the douche who won.

I think you need to research a little further. It usually isn't wise to disobey the order of a police officer, which is what was stationed at the event in question, not campus security.
btw my campus security is a division of the local police. They have all the power that any regular cop would have.

You're probably right, you probably just have security guards who are just there to deter crime and call the real cops when the shit hits the fan.

But most large colleges and universities have POLICE departments, some of them are even armed.

you do know that any person can make an arrest if it meets the necessary criteria

This thread is full of good little citizens.

[Chronic Diarrhea]

I don't know of any major university in the nation that does not have it's own fully-fledged police department. The dept. at my univ. is every bit as legit as any other department. I know UF's department happens to be one that has been granted their own jurisdiction by the city of Gainesville. So Ranger, they're most certainly not rent a cops, so you should either know what you're talking about or stay out of the thread.

[Proteus]

I have never known campus cops to be something to fuck with, just because you're on a campus you pay thousands to go to.

[RaNgeR]

Well, I apologize then. I did see reports that the kid sucks in general AND was disruptive. BUT, tasering the kid at the john kerry conference? I just feel its taking it a LITTLE too far. Did you see how many cops (not security..) were there? They could have easily escorted him out. That shit is nuts...I mean, there was a video posted before of a student getting tasered in a library for no reason and the kids recorded the badge numbers of the security officers. I feel this shit happens far too often, and it should NOT happen...thats all. Oh and chronic, before you to tell me to gtfo, I go to a small liberal arts college in BURLINGTON VERMONT; even at Syracuse University where around thirty or so of my friends go, and the city I live in, I believe they have a campus security that doesn't have the ability to arrest...so give me a break here. All I am doing is saying there are other ways to resolve a situation like this besides making a fucking scene and tasering some kid EVEN if he deserves it; and Im getting bombarded from all angles ed:

[ninty]

well said ranger, i agree.
