lol, I guess I see this from a different POV.

This video is edited to the point we do NOT see the whole story, the video makes it look like “out of the blue” the cops attacked which I think is total BS, there is no way a guy will go up, ask 2 questions and be arrested, (Unless of course this was Bush or Cheney) so there is more to this story then what this video shows.

Talking to my pal in Florida who is also a lawyer and he is telling me the news there is saying the dude is known as someone who always plays "pranks" and wants/needs attention (which I just saw on HLN as well) he supposedly cut in line, asked more questions then allowed, and this is all after the question session was over with but they still allowed him to ask his questions until he started asking more and more and was asked to leave and then that is where the security was asked to remove him.

From what I see in this video he was NOT being arrested at first, he was being escorted out, THEN he flayed his arms and tried to get away which will get you arrested every time.

And exactly what was Kerry to do? Not at all defending Kerry, but I think you all are giving him too much credit, he is in another state as a guest, what would happen if he said to the security “stop” and they didn’t stop? Who would look even weaker that campus cops won’t even listen to him? There is no politician out there who would have tried to stop this, Dem, GOP, or had they been where Kerry was, they would have done exactly the same thing.

IMHO, this guy got the attention he wanted so for him, this is win/win.
