GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- An internal investigation was launched Tuesday into whether officers had a right to shock an unarmed University of Florida student who was Tasered and arrested Monday when he attempted to speak at a forum with U.S. Sen. John Kerry, Local 6 reported.You can't really blame Kerry for this one. The student was being a jerk and when he refused to cooperate with the rules of the event and with the cops, he got what he had coming.
Andrew Meyer, 21, asked Kerry why he did not contest the 2004 presidential election, which he lost to President Bush, and why there had been no moves to impeach Bush.
"He apparently asked several questions -- he went on for quite awhile -- then he was asked to stop," university spokesman Steve Orlando said. "He had used his allotted time. His microphone was cut off then he became upset."
While as many as four police officers tried to remove Meyer from the forum, he yelled for help and asked "What did I do?" Minutes after Meyer started speaking, he was Tasered.
I'll bet from now on he twitches a little every time he hears Kerry's droning voice.
