I think it was poo that the cops did that. It was a harmless question.  |

I have a friend at UF that told me this guy was picketing and protesting on 9-11-07 outside of the university, claiming the British government was the mastermind behind the 9-11 attacks, so the police had previously warned him on his behavior. I obviously cannot prove these claims, however.  |

they left out the part where he asked Kerry if he'd been in Skull and Bones...the video is pretty funny though. I didn't see anything he had really done, except ask a stupid question. He did resist as soon as they took a hold of him and that is why he got tasered.  |

They made a big production of it on our news tonight, but they did not show his behavior before, just from the Moments when he was shouting in the meeting.  |

The student getting tasered was the most entertaining part of the speech.  |

even if he did resist arrest, which was probably cause he didnt exactly know how it was wrong to ask a question, there's no reason to taser him since its dumb to believe that a group of policeman couldnt handle a collage student.  |

He obliviously staged it.  |

It was staged, he told the cops they did nothing wrong and he only screamed when camara's were on...the director of the event is the one who told the police to remove him, he resisted and just because he is a college student doesn't make him any better than someone on the street who is resisting arrest. He got what he deserved like anyone else, he got tasered to make him cooperate. |

Does the term 'excessive force' mean anything to you Kelly?  |

From Authorid: 15228
yeah... I believe it does have some meaning, especially in no knock raids which should be outlawed. Thanks for asking Dark Phoenix. |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/wkmg/20070919/lo_wkmg/14147512--I believe this was excessive force also. So you see, I do have a grasp on what excessive force is. |

6 cops I believe were on him, there is no need for a taser. He was arrested on "inciting a riot" I'm not seeing how this works out but ok...sadly I signed up for the Marines and I'm willing to put my life on the line for things like this....sad |

email to Students today: Sender: Vice President for Student Affairs <[email protected]> Add to address book To: [email protected] CC: Date: Tue Sep 18 15  3:57 EDT 2007Subject: Message from Dr. Patricia Telles-Irvin To University of Florida Students, As you are by now aware, yesterday afternoon, as a town hall forum with Senator John Kerry was ending, there was an incident in which a student was tasered. Many of you, and many of your parents, have expressed your concerns regarding this incident to me and my staff. I would like to assure you that the University is interested in learning what happened and in ensuring that we utilize best practice protocols in maintaining a safe campus environment while protecting the freedom to speak. I would like to reiterate the immediate steps, laid out by President Machen in his letter to the university community, which are being taken in response to the incident. University of Florida Police Chief Linda Stump has requested the Florida Department of Law Enforcement conduct a formal investigation into the arrest of UF student Andrew Meyer. An independent review such as this will make sure the results are objective and impartial. Chief Stump's priority is to ensure that the public remains confident in the department's ability to keep the campus safe. Two officers involved in the incident have been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. The institution plans to assemble a panel of faculty and students to review our police protocols, our management practices and the FDLE report to come up with a series of recommendations for the university. Administrators and police officials plan to analyze the incident and conduct an internal review and will consider changing protocols in response to this incident, if necessary. Finally, as is standard procedure, the State Attorney's Office will review the charges brought against Mr. Meyer. We have communicated with the State Attorney and understand that a review of the case will be expedited. We plan to keep students updated on any progress through our website, www.ufsa.ufl.edu. Sincerely, Patricia Telles-Irvin Vice President for Student Affairs |
