The guy wasn't "arrested for asking an overlong question."
According to people who were there, he created a disturbance before he even began asking any questions, before any of the videos start playing. Then, when the police tried to escort him away, he fought and created more of a disturbance. The arrest came pretty far into the whole scene. In fact, I don't even know if this guy really got tasered or just decided to yell about it...I don't see anything in their hands, but could be wrong.
Bottom line, this guy was there to make a scene, and getting a chance to mix it up with the cops was just bonus in his view.
I'm going to post - in a separate letter - a statement by a student who was there.
