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)

who's that guy starting to walk towards Andrew Meyer at 2:22?

No doubt tiregie. He was given a chance to just walk out & he threw a fit & started acting "like an asshole". They told him if he didn't stop resisting he'd be tased & he CHOSE to ignore them & Meyer & other people act all suprised when they tased him. Truly amazing.

ROMAN, if you haven't read my profile or watched The Shining you won't understand. It's one of my top 5 all time favorite movies.

@redrumrob : I think your nickname "red" is not @ all fortuitous, isn't it ? YOU are ONE of "THEM" ! I see you keep the page with your comments AGAINST those who try to...rise. People like YOU put down PEOPLE & COUNTRIES, ENSLAVED MINDS & SPIRITS. Am I right ? Yes, I AM ! Please, do NOT write me again, Tovarasch RED ! Go back to the "Animal Farm" (George Orwell) into the DARK !

hey, you act like an asshole, you get treated like one. life isn't fair and never was

"No matter what HE did before, the WAY Police "treated" him is...UNSPEAKABLE." Unbelievable. You claim to have lived under a "dictatureship" & think THIS is "UNSPEAKABLE"? Wow.
"but could brake SILLY "rules". Tased ???" Meyer was NO tased for ANYTHING he said. He was tased for Resisting Arrest after being REPEATEDLY ordered to stop resisting & warned that he'd be tased if he didn't comply. It was his CHOICE.

Thanks to all the guys who took time to write me. U people have no idea what a communist regime looks like, but I NEVER saw such police intervention in all my life living in a terrible dictatureship as in Romania. If Americans find THAT is MORMAL, then there is an ILL society & you guys are already mind emprisoned ! No matter what HE did before, the WAY Police "treated" him is...UNSPEAKABLE. A dialog between 2 guys isn't a computer set program, but could brake SILLY "rules". Tased ??? Come on..

"They were simply finishing what they started"
should have waited a minute for kerry to answer, then there would be no doubt as to civil rights

"which he refused to let Kerry answer"
hows that? you can clearly hear kerry address him .. e.g: 'yes ive read it' etc

I agree with most of what you say, but THIS particular incident is a bad example. The guy was kicked out of a school event, then given a special chance to address Kerry & he abused every rule there was (that all of the other students observed). IMO, we MUST maintain the right to set & enforce rules at privately run events. This was not an open mic for anyone to talk when & for how long they want. There were rules of order & he broke them all. The police action was because he refused to leave.

"Why did they grab his arm if he was about to leave?"

Leave? He most clearly was NOT going to leave. He told them so the first time they started to remove him. They were simply finishing what they started before Kerry asked that they allow him to ask a question (which he refused to let Kerry answer and was finally cut off after over 90 seconds of talking and saying "blowjob".
