"The rapper Wiz Khalifa was handcuffed and forced to the ground by law enforcement officers at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday night for, he said, refusing to get off a hoverboard."

"I stand for our generation, and our generation is gonna be riding hover boards."

Either hoverboarding is permitted in the airport or it is not. I've linked to the NYT article, which includes the video showing Wiz Khalifa on the floor, getting handcuffed and engaged in a dialogue with the police that alternates the lines "Stop resisting" and "I'm not resisting."

But I'd like some more context. I'm just guessing that hoverboards are forbidden in the airport (for good reason), that he was told to stop using it and refused, that he was warned he'd be arrested and continued to refuse, that the police proceeded to arrest him, and that he chose to use social media to make a name for himself as the champion of hoverboarding (and one more victim of police excess). And, of course, he's succeeded. I've heard of Wiz Khalifa now.
