UF Police Taser Student During Kerry Forum

Back


As the person who filmed this event. I would like to say that although Andrew may appear to be a conspiracy theorist, he still was accosted by the police after Senator Kerry said he wanted to hear the question. If Accent Speakers Bureau had allowed all those standing in line to ask questions, this never would have happened. Unless of course the police would have stepped in anyway. I DO NOT KNOW ANDREW MEYER PERSONALLY. I DID NOT EDIT THIS FILM (the camera battery was low and stopped filming)

"PWNAGEpb
He's got freedom of speech, doesn't he? He shouldn't have been arrested." Two points. 1)Freedom of speech has NOTHING to do with the events of that day & 2)The Police had every reason & right to remove him & then to arrest him once he decided to resist the removal & tried to get others to interfere with the Police.

Don't tase me, bro!

Hahaha.. priceless.

That aside, I actually think the kid had a point. He's got freedom of speech, doesn't he? He shouldn't have been arrested.

Actually thepython, it was ACCENT that cut the mic. If Meyer hadn't been so rude & completely ignored the forum rules even after being reminded about them just prior to talking at the mic & even during his questions things might have turned out differently. My opinion is that they never should have allowed him to the mic in the first place. So we do agree on that one.

rrr - i agree with the majority of what you say compared to others. However, to allow him to ask a q and then wait for Kerry to begin answering before dragging him out was a bit stupid. They should have taken him out b4 he got a chance to question or after kerry had answered. they handled it in a way to get the worst reaction from him. correct end result (bar the taser)but poor execution.

Edgerunner, the taser is a completely legal means of forcing compliance on a a combative or noncompliant subject. The fact of the matter is it was 100% Meyer's choice to be tased. They told him exactly what he had to do & what would happen to him if he didn't do it. He CHOSE to be tased by CHOOSING to ignore their REPEATED orders & warnings.

why did they need to tase him? I mean look at this vid, there's like fucking 6 cops and they cant arrest one guy? the taser was completely unecessary
