What was that scream from Gainesville on Monday?
Turns out it was a schmuck masquerading as a University of Florida student. You heard of it, right? A guy who fancies himself some brilliant provocateur, and who's been looking for his 15 minutes of fame, found it. Poor little scamp was tasered after being a pain in the ass at a Kerry speech.
Oh, the inhumanity of it all!
Well, this is an update (at 5:52 p.m.), per above link.
GAINESVILLE - Police have released the incident report detailing the Tasering of a University of Florida student during a campus forum with Sen. John Kerry Monday, and the officer who actually Tasered Andrew Meyer wrote in the report that Meyer later told police, "You didn't do anything wrong."
In the 12-page report, which gives accounts of the incident from the perspective of eight different officers who were present Monday afternoon, Officer Nicole Mallo writes that Meyer would only resist officers when cameras were present.
"As (Meyer) was escorted down stairs (at the University Auditorium) with no cameras in sight, he remained quiet, but once the cameras made their way down stairs he started screaming and yelling again," Mallo wrote.
********************
The supervising officer, Sgt. Eddie King, attempted to Taser Meyer on his chest, but he reported that his Taser would not deploy. He then instructed Mallo to Taser Meyer, and she Tasered him on his shoulder, according to one of the officer's report.
The officers were then able to fully handcuff Meyer and escort him from the building. Each of the six officers reported that Meyer yelled things like, "They're going to kill me," and, "They are giving me to the government," while he was being taken from the room.
Frankly, having to listen to Kerry would make me run screaming...from the building. But then, I'm not a child. I don't have much of a life, but apparently it's better than this stupid bastard.
Ah, yes: the world will be such a great place when the 'best and brightest' like this guy finally run the world.
Frankly, rather than a tasering, this baby should have had his ass kicked. But maybe I'm just too old school.
UPDATE (9/19/07)
Jessica from Gainesville dropped by. She feels much as I do. She also knows one of the campus police involved. I wish I did so I could give her an 'attagirl' or three.
