can we have more red herrings regarding the taser situation?

[LSK]

We do not have enough of them.

[anniebelle]

1. Indeed!

This is the most pressing story today? I don't think so. Oh, I know, how about o.j.?

[brentspeak]

2. Tell me about it

It's gotten beyond sickening.

[orleans]

3. randi's talking about this now. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

4. Correction: Randi's screaming about it.

:eyes:

[LSK]

6. Yes she is

:rofl:

[monobrau]

16. try this

Call into Randi's show and rapid fire 3-4 questions at her while putting her down and see how quick you get cut off.
She talks a big game for somebody who can cut off disrupters at the touch of a button.

disclaimer - removing the guy was right, tazer was uncalled for

[LSK]

5. Im listening to it as well

Someone told her to watch the video on here.

[SeattleGirl]

7. I like Randi alot, but sometimes she gets her mind set about something,

and goes on the attack against ANYONE who questions it, or brings a different POV on it than she has.

:crazy:

[LSK]

9. shes still going on about it

If she gets this emotional about it, she should not talk about it.

[LSK]

11. Randi just played the audio but that doesnt show them moving the kid away

[orleans]

8. have you seen it? (i haven't) do you know if it's in the video forum? n/t

[LSK]

10. yes

It is in the video forum.

[smokey nj]

12. Is it just me, or did it sound like the version of the incident Randi just played was

edited?

[LSK]

13. it was shortened

[SeattleGirl]

14. This is the only cut I've heard, so I'm not sure.

Thom Hartmann suggested that perhaps these cops were trained by the Bush/Cheney team. :)

15. Here are some links to other videos

I've watched both to get a sense of what happened from different points of view. I wish John Kerry had been more forceful in asking the police to ease up, however, from what I saw in these videos Randi is misrepresenting what happened at the beginning. Clearly, those officers were there when Meyer first started asking the question, I think something went on before the questions were asked.

17. I'm so glad Randi has been not only calling Kerry on his inaction but also calling the cops

on their overkill (no pun intended).

[LSK]

18. I will agree the cops went overboard

But why were they already there when the kid started asking questions?

[valerief]

19. He was holding Greg Palast's book. nt

[LSK]

20. cops wouldnt know that book from any other

:shrug:

[valerief]

21. Yeah, but whoever controls them via phone or walkie talkie does.

All that has to be said is, "That guy is trouble. We want him silenced or else we'll have a riot." What's so hard about that?

[LSK]

22. getting a little tinfoilly there for me

So the guy with the phone knows this book now?

Also this book talks about a lot of subjects (I have it), so how does he know the kid is going to talk about the election?

Theres a lot of unknowns here.

[valerief]

23. Kerry's people know it. Kerry's people communicate with his protection.

It's really not all that difficult to understand.

BTW, there's no such thing as "tinfoilly" anymore. It's all been revealed as real.

24. no sheet
