Student Andrew Meyer Tasered During John Kerry Event

Andrew Meyer, a 21 year old student, screamed and struggled in pain on the floor of the John Kerry Event auditorium when police tasered him whilst trying to restrain him.

The shameful reasoning for this happening to Andrew Meyer is apparently due to the intense questioning he offered John Kerry regarding why Kerry hadn’t moved to impeach U.S. President George Bush, the Sun reported.

The student in the College of Journalism and Communications was actually charged with disrupting a public event, said university police Jeff Holcomb. Luckily, he added that there would be an investigation (thankfully) as to whether the police officers used force appropriately.

What do you think? Did the officers use force appropriately? Did they have a just reason to taser Andrew Mayer?

    WOW – The U S of A certainly remains at the top of the league for outrageous police brutality. Forget the repression of students in Iran. America’s the REAL PLACE.

    Three words : What the crap?
    They did not have to taser him. He was just asking some questions. ever heard of the ‘Right of Free Speech’? If police have to resort to this kind of action what the heck is going to happen next? Am I going to be tasered if the cops see me checking out a book on goverment polotics from the library or somthing? Fear now rules so many lives…

They just sat back and wernt even trying to help the guy!! those kind of people make me so mad..it makes you wonder what YOUR (so-called) friends would do if you were being tased!!
