Andrew Meyer is such a little douche like most people in Gainesville. Florida also won't go to the national title game.

Getting tazed doesn't hurt that bad. What a little overactor. I hope mommy has stopped coddling him by now.

Plus take into account that Rodney King was behind the wheel of a car going 90 mph while high on pcp. Then he wouldn't pull over and the police were in a high speed pursuit. Then he resisted arrest. I don't agree with the extent of force used in THAT situation, no. But King is a fucktard who never learned his lesson either: He's been arrested several more times for DUI, spousal assault, drug violations, etc.

There's a BIG difference between what happened to Rodney King and what happened here. The police didn't beat the living shit out of Meyer like King, they took Meyer to the ground and took him into custody. That's how it's done. They didn't beat his ass with batons. They touch-tased his shoulder for 2 seconds, & got him to comply and they got him into the cuffs and took him out. His left arm was latching onto a chair and he refused to let go, all he had to do was allow them to cuff his left hand.

"or maybe just fucking maybe they hand cuff him and drag him away?!" He was tased so they COULD cuff him you fucking idiot. He kept resisting & grabbing onto the chair. Even if they DID want to employ another means of forcing his compliance I'm sure the cameras kept them in check. Do you not hear how many orders & warnings he CHOSE to ignore before they finaly tased him? Your dumb ass acts like they just walked up & tased him with no warning. Fucking moron.

"Save yourself the time and just look into it, unless you just feel like arguing for the hell of it. If that's the case, carry on." I think we've hit the nail on the head there virtualdynamo. He's arguing just to be arguing & bitching about my arguing the facts. He's a fucking loser & doesn't know shit about the events of that day. He obviously hates Police & NOTING they would have done would have been right in his eyes.

"Its Called Excessive force look into it KID.thx i win." What are you, fucking 12 years old? Joint locks, chokehold, baton, telescopic staff, punches to major muscle groups, kicks, mace & taser. These are all means that are either legal now or were legal at some point &, as I've told your dumb ass on more than one thread, the taser is the LEAST likely to cause a subject lasting or perminant damage. What a fucking idiot you are. A pistol WOULD have been "excessive force" you stupid prick.

Cantfeelme, save yourself some time and embarrassment by looking up the facts. Your arguing a losing battle and you really are makign it clear that you don't know the facts.

Save yourself the time and just look into it, unless you just feel like arguing for the hell of it. If that's the case, carry on.

LMAO your are so fucking stupid its pathetic. This just shows how truly dumb you are. So if they DIDNT have a taser"at their disposal"as you put it. then what are there other options? hmm how about the pistols they carry?? lets execute him on the spot.. or maybe just fucking maybe they hand cuff him and drag him away?!Or would that be common sense? wow is that hard to admit your wrong? Its Called Excessive force look into it KID.thx i win. Heading outside now, somthing you should also look into.

Typing to fast, that obviously should have said "I HAVE answereD the question...."

"Which these pretend pigs know nothing about." Thanks for proving, yet again, that you don't know what you're talking about. These "..pretend pigs.." are Police Officers, not Security Guards, "rent-a-cops" or anything else idiots like you call them. Do I think all Police are right all the time? Of course not, only a fucking idiot like you would make leaps like that based on my comments made on ONE subject. Fucking moron.
