Andrew did NOT cause ANY disturbance, all he did was ask a simple and honest question which the government do not like to be asked since they are full of shit. America is apparently supposed to stand for free speech. Well ladies and gentlemen, this is what you get if you speak up and start to ask questions. Absolutely disgusting, brainwashed citizens.
That's really sick.Children and teenager are treated in the U.S. like prisoners. This is an extremely black and white thinking (also tickets for smallest mistakes in schools) like a borderliner and for the mental development of children very counterproductive. Obviously the common sense does no longer exist.
kicking out is one thing - but tasering because 5 cops are to silly to their job is something completely different - and it is also poor that the other students weren't able to kick that guy out if he was really so disturbing...
getting arrested for asking questions? How mad can this be? Nothing better than all the other failed states of the so called axis of evil (not that I would trust such an ignorant phrase) ...
@khochkogler He wasn't arrested for any questions. He's just pretending like that is the case. He was kicked out for shoving, cussing, interrupting other students, berating the guest, refusing to give the mic up, getting into it with the people in charge of the event, etc. The arrest came after several attempts to make him leave.
whatever happened to this guy or the police officers? (looking for a response here, even though probably none of you care, you're just trying to get the top comment)
@zOOmSalad Andrew Meyer was arrested and spent a night in jail. His school did not suspend him. The officers were placed on Administrative Leave (with pay) until the investigation was complete.

@TheSexyDoctor ("You cops"??? Whaaa?) Look, the officers in this case were suspended pending investigation. That's for the public's protection. The case and their actions were reviewed. The cops were found justified and returned to duty. This idiot Meyer admitted he was WRONG and apologized. Unless you know what a cop's authority is, you'll never know if (s)he's abusing it. Stay in school, go to college, study law and you'll look at life differently. Or become a cop and try to do their job.
@TheSexyDoctor Closely watch the videos & read the witness reports. Meyer was completely in the wrong. he went there to cause a big ruckus, interrupted other students, jumped in line, cussed students running the event, shoved cops who tried to get him to leave & they STILL allowed him 3 times the time limit at the mic before removing him. Kerry spent a good deal of time answering his questions as well. This is simply a student being kicked out for various reasons & fighting instead of leaving
@mamacornettesmoney after I saw the longer you seem to be right. and what you can also see in this shorter version is that the people in the video are applauding as the police is interrupting and removing him. seems to me that the arrested guy is having some issues in general...
"Meyer made arrangements to have himself filmed. The incident may have been a stunt. Being escorted down stairs with no cameras in sight, he remained quiet. Once the cameras were present he started screaming and yelling again." Meyer was "laughing and lighthearted in the car off-camera saying "I'm not mad at you guys, you didn't do anything wrong, you were just trying to do your job."
Florida declared cops' actions justified and the cops on paid administrative leave have been fully reinstated.
"Meyer was arrested for inciting a riot and charged with resisting arrest with violence, and interfering with school administrative functions. Meyer spent one night in Jail and was released. Meyer later issued a public apology for his "failure to act calmly", stating that he "stepped out of line".
This idiot A-hole was either stoned or he planned this 'demonstration' (or both?). He was simply there to disrupt the meeting and get his 15 minutes of fame and sympathy from an audience (us) who are supposed to believe he was "tased to suppress his 1st Amendment rights". He refused police orders and resisted arrest. He was warned to comply or be tased. He made the choice, the officers simply obliged. If he's reached college age & really doesn't know "what he did", he's beyond hope of maturity.
I dunno I think they handled it fine =/ They would have just escorted him out if he would have cooperated and not allowed back in. But he clearly resists cooperating with the cops. Taze him... makes sense to me. I mean, he had plenty of time to cooperate. But nope...
I must say that I disagree to the initial arrest. When he resisted arrest, when he had a case to argue, he messed up. I also don't agree with the "tazing". This entire situation was handled poorly from both sides.
It's like communist russia the way the went after this guy like he was bad mouthing putin at a political rally. I think they could of asked him to leave/shut of his mic and then if he refused , threaten to arrest him if he did not cooperate. That would seem more logical in my opinion.
@ipv4 "I think they could of asked him to leave/shut of his mic and then if he refused , threaten to arrest him if he did not cooperate"
But that is exactly what happened. He was only being made to leave at first, and this is the 2nd time that day where he was told to leave, but fought & pretended to be arrested instead. They eventually did arrest him, but were merely making him leave at first. They even allowed him 3 times what others got at the mic despite already being told to leave.
@RazzTazzFilms How in the world was he causing a public disturbance? Kerry even said "I'm sorry let me answer his question" when the brain dead cops stepped in for no reason. You need a reality check.
@killzone158 Yeah? And you would have been subdued, arrested and jailed, just like this idiot was. Before you begin thinking this is a "nazi suppression of citizens' rights to free speech", remember every RIGHT has RESPONSIBILITIES. You can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater (unless there is one). Meyer cut the line, aggressively yelled rapid-fire questions at Kerry, using vulgarity, and refused to let the Senator answer. Told to leave he returned, becoming more disruptive. Meyer was WRONG.
@KingThracian He was allowed three times as long to ask questions as others despite the fact that it wasn't even his turn and he had already scuffled with cops who tried to remove him for interrupting students and cussing event officials, etc. He was simply being escorted out (for the 2nd time), he fought so he was eventually arrested.
@KingThracian Certainly we can. But we can't create disturbances while doing so. Meyer jumped the line, seized the mic, used vulgarities toward the Senator, talked-over Kerry when he tried to answer, refused to leave (twice), returned once, then ranted & raved when they shut his mic off. When police told him to leave he refused. When they physically escorted him out, he resisted them. Shame on UofF for not expelling this idiot. Even his friends agree he was bonkers.
@FLSHBK1 When stuff like this surfaces, I have to remember about 99% of the time there is more to the story. I wasn't there so I can't say what happened before or after the video cut off. Although the question itself causes no harm.
@KingThracian No one ever claimed that the question caused any harm. Meyer & people who put the vids on Youtube were only pretending that was the case. Meyer was actually in trouble for grabbing a mic out of turn, interrupting the student who had the floor, cussing the people runnig the event, shoving the cops who tried to get him to step down. He spoke for 3 times the time limit AFTER all that. He yelled at them when told time was up, then continued to fight his removal after the mic was cut.
@mamacornettesmoney he did not shove a cop he was illegaly detained for asking a question and was within his rights to resist which he did not do so excessivley. he did not deserved to be tazed this is not soviet russia
@ATLnyuckanumberone No, he shoved cops both before and during the video. There were many witnesses & many cameras. He was not being illegally detained at all. He was being legally removed form a school function & he decided to make a big scene & physically resist the cops who have a legal obligation to remove him at the behest of the students running the event.
Simply asking a question has nothing to do with why he was kicked out, nor the later arrest, nor the later tasing.
@ATLnyuckanumberone Either you really don't understand this situation because you didn't read the comments, or else you're just trying to start trouble. This idiot intentionally caused a ruckus at a public gathering, was asked to leave, returned, cut the line, began shouting at everyone and was then ordered to leave. He refused. The cops took him out and he resisted. He got tased. Case was investigated and declared justified. Everyone else in the USA hates Meyer for this. What's with you?
@FLSHBK1 In Europe the cops would have lost their jobs (if not more) for using unnecessary force. (you know there is no need for tasing a guy you clearly have under control).
And cutting the line, causing a mild ruckus, and finishing with asking ones question is clearly not illegal. Also I am pretty sure that (at least in europe) the police has to tell you, why they are arresting you. Getting arrested without being told happens in North Korea, but not in a "free and democratic" country.
@AntonGudenus Ahh, but they DIDN'T have him under control. While he was being cuffed, he resisted. He rolled onto his back and hid one arm under him, refusing their repeated orders and warnings he would be tased if he didn't stop resisting. He was arrested (and told so) for creating a disturbance and interfering with police. The students themselves had called the cops to remove him. Don't be fooled here ~ he was a villain , not a victim. As soon as they zapped him, he stopped resisting. It works
@FLSHBK1 - .pretending to be a hardcore Democracy and Freeedom Lover, but only for those who share you're thoughts and opinions...ever heard of freedom of speach or is it just for Liberals oder Socialists?
@Bonygasse Are you reading ANY of the previous discussion? This man was NOT "arrested for asking a question" or "suppressed for speaking his opinion". He was removed for causing a disturbance. An hour's worth of other students had spoken before him, and many after him. They maintained proper decorum and were heard. He made a problem and was removed. It's simple. We have free speech, but we also have rules to let others be heard. He violated them. Don't confuse freedom with ANARCHY.
@FLSHBK1 Him getting free one hand while 6 people are kneeing on you, is not being out of control. The one tall police officer was carrying him alone through half of the building. And of corse it works. Shooting people works even better. So would you think it's OK to shoot people who pose no threat to you, and who you have under control? Cause you know, its easier that way?
And even if he was the "villain", getting tased (or shot) in such a situation just happens in countries like North Korea.
@AntonGudenus Has nothing to do with him being "out of control." Like you said, they had him under control. The drive stun on the shoulder was simply to stun his free arm for a few seconds while they cuffed it. Not for "punishment". Not to "subdue him". Only to safely cuff his arm instead of using the old methods of forcing it where he doesn't want it to go, which are much more likely to cause injury. He was given ample chance to walk out peacefully, then warned many times to let them cuff him
@FLSHBK1 I'm so glad I live in a more democratic and free country than the US. Cool countries like Canada, europe as a whole, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
@AntonGudenus As you can see @01:38, they had Meyer on his stomach with his hands behind his back. Before they can handcuff him, he pulls his arms free and spins onto his back (@01:53), hiding one arm beneath him (resisting arrest). They warn him repeatedly he will be tased if he doesn't stop resisting. As soon as they zap him, he cooperates.
@ATLnyuckanumberone THAT's A LIE, and if you insist it, YOU'RE A LIAR. Meyer was NOT "illegally detained for asking a question", you sensationalistic muckraker. He created a disturbance TWICE and was kicked out for it. Refusing to leave, he was arrested. He resisted arrest and was tased. He was jailed and later apologized for his juvenile behavior. You show NO understanding of the reality of this incident, yet you're ready to make the USA sound like Nazis. If you don't like it here please LEAVE.
@rapelpecho The cops escorted him out of the room once before, when he first created a disturbance on the mic. He was using vulgarities at the Senator, and refused to stop talking when his time was up. They turned his mic off. The cops told him to leave. He returned, cut the line, grabbed the mic and created another disturbance, yelling rapid-fire questions at Kerry and shouting over him before he could answer. Florida considered the case and justified the taser. Meyer later apologized.
@rapelpecho Did you watch it? they WERE putting him out of the room. It was a full 2 minutes between the taser and when they started leading him to the door (for the 2nd time that day). He was arrested for refusing to leave and fighting the ejection. He's only pretending to be arrested through much of it, and YES a few seconds of drive stun on the shoulder to cuff him after fighting with him for 2 minutes is totally appropriate. they could have legally used much more force but were lenient
@DISORDERLY ... and @RESISTING are terms Conjured up by the Fucken @PIGS which essentially means:"I'm a FACIST policeman in a Free country,so I can use these Bullshit LEGAL terms to Fuck with you" !
@MamaCOCKSformoney STILL here after 4 years of making @Andrew@Meyer an INTERNET Superstar. YOU with your "Joe Citizen" Bullshit. In Previous years you were @RedrumrobSucksCock I guess you think you're fooling some new batch of Commenters here @Fat@Boy ?
@SeverinMk Watch "Andrew Meyer tased, justifiably so ..." on Youtube. It is the most complete vid up. It also has a detailed "description" section with links to the transcript (that shows Kerry's answers to Meyer's questions), witness statements, police reports, an article by the Professor who moderated the event explaining why Meyer was ejected, etc. To summarize, he was kicked out for various behavioral infractions but made a big scene pretending to be arrested for questions 2 seperate times
@SeverinMk He resisted arrest. If he just would have went quietly they wouldn't have tased him. No that doesn't mean they weren't pussies for tasing some helpless college student that was no threat to them but it is what it is. If you're going to exercise civil disobedience, it's probably a pretty good idea to know HOW TO REACT when you inevitably get arrested.
For comparison: in "evil Russia with no democracy" (as some say) rude interruption of the speech (not just question like above) and using words like "do not listen to him.." and "shame.." was taken more tolerant : youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ce2SOiV9KsI#! - check from 1 min 40 sec of video.
Also note: Kerry is not even a President, like Medvedev. In fact Medvedev asks right away to let him say what he wants and remind later about rights of people say what they feel to say.
@coinfreak24 Fact is, he gave up his right when he went on private property during an event and caused a ruckus. Notice they didn't even do anything to him until he got forceful. They were there to maintain the peace and they took him down the moment he disturbed it. U should see what happens in other countries when someone is merely suspected of speaking ill of a public figure. If you knew, you would be proud of your country. I should know, I'm from a place where ppl's rights aren't defined.
@TupacCobain He was in trouble well before he asked anything. It wasn't even his turn. In fact, the questions you see are a privelage they let him have before boucing him for various reasons, including grabbing a mic & interrupting a student who had the floor, shoving security while screaming that they wanted to arrest him for questions (that he hadn't asked), cussing event officials, refusing to step down, etc. Then he got mad when they todl him to finish up. They were simply escorting him out
He kinda made a fool of himself--He was innocent so he would have been fine in the long run. He should have just gone with it instead of making a scene. But I see why he'd act like that though.
@DemonXelo They cheered and applauded because they wanted him gone. He was there to disrupt the event and was given plaenty of time to do so. Now it was time for him to go. And the majority crowd voices their agrement with that decision. You should read or watch the witness interviews. Most of them had nothing nice to say about Meyer's behavior.
@AjaxpuffNstuff No they weren't. Punching a cop is NOT a legal defense to being thrown out of a school function. He'd have a felony if he did that. they were only making him leave for his behavior.
@PaintPunk09 Nah, that didn't have anything to do with it. He was in trouble for yelling, cussing, shoving people, refusing to leave, interrupting students at the mic, etc. They tried to let him ask a question before leaving, but he wouldn't give the mic up or let kerry reply. When told to ask his question & leave (they'd already tried to remove him once & he fought), he got mad & said he'd take his time. When he said "blowjob" they cut the mic & resumed his removal. He still fought
@PaintPunk09 The video titled "Andrew Meyer Tased, justifiably so ..." by the user "thebatman..." is the most complete vid still up. It starts as Kerry finishes addressing the person Meyer had interrupted. There was one that started while Kerry was scolding Meyer, but it's down. The vid I referred you too has links to witness statements, police reports, the transcript of Kerry's answer, etc & much more video footage than this one. Read the description & the links to get a fuller picture.
@rocker321ish I live in America and, being under the age to leave the country, i'm scared for my life. Don't feel safe under a government that would kill thousands of people to do something stupid *cough* 911 *cough*
Only in America... They didn't need to taser him. They could have easily over-powered him. Except cops like to have that feeling of power... fucking idiots. Keep it up America. I'm sure you'l do fine.

Meyer was a University of Florida television production communications major, studying sensationalism in broadcasting at the time of this incident.

"Meyer made arrangements to have himself filmed. The incident may have been a stunt. Being escorted down stairs with no cameras in sight, he remained quiet. Once the cameras were present he started screaming and yelling again." Meyer was "laughing and lighthearted in the car off-camera saying "I'm not mad at you guys, you didn't do anything wrong, you were just trying to do your job."
Florida declared cops' actions justified and the cops on paid administrative leave have been fully reinstated.

"Meyer was arrested for inciting a riot and charged with resisting arrest with violence, and interfering with school administrative functions. Meyer spent one night in Jail and was released. Meyer later issued a public apology for his "failure to act calmly", stating that he "stepped out of line".

This idiot A-hole was either stoned or he planned this 'demonstration' (or both?). He was simply there to disrupt the meeting and get his 15 minutes of fame and sympathy from an audience (us) who are supposed to believe he was "tased to suppress his 1st Amendment rights". He refused police orders and resisted arrest. He was warned to comply or be tased. He made the choice, the officers simply obliged. If he's reached college age & really doesn't know "what he did", he's beyond hope of maturity.

I must say that I disagree to the initial arrest. When he resisted arrest, when he had a case to argue, he messed up. I also don't agree with the "tazing". This entire situation was handled poorly from both sides.

It's like communist russia the way the went after this guy like he was bad mouthing putin at a political rally. I think they could of asked him to leave/shut of his mic and then if he refused , threaten to arrest him if he did not cooperate. That would seem more logical in my opinion.

@ipv4 "I think they could of asked him to leave/shut of his mic and then if he refused , threaten to arrest him if he did not cooperate"
But that is exactly what happened. He was only being made to leave at first, and this is the 2nd time that day where he was told to leave, but fought & pretended to be arrested instead. They eventually did arrest him, but were merely making him leave at first. They even allowed him 3 times what others got at the mic despite already being told to leave.

Before you begin thinking this is a "nazi suppression of citizens' rights to free speech", remember every RIGHT has RESPONSIBILITIES. You can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater (unless there is one). Meyer cut the line, aggressively yelled rapid-fire questions at Kerry, using vulgarity, and refused to let the Senator answer. Told to leave he returned, becoming more disruptive. Meyer was WRONG.

@KingThracian Certainly we can. But we can't create disturbances while doing so. Meyer jumped the line, seized the mic, used vulgarities toward the Senator, talked-over Kerry when he tried to answer, refused to leave (twice), returned once, then ranted & raved when they shut his mic off. When police told him to leave he refused. When they physically escorted him out, he resisted them. Shame on UofF for not expelling this idiot. Even his friends agree he was bonkers.

@KingThracian No one ever claimed that the question caused any harm. Meyer & people who put the vids on Youtube were only pretending that was the case. Meyer was actually in trouble for grabbing a mic out of turn, interrupting the student who had the floor, cussing the people runnig the event, shoving the cops who tried to get him to step down. He spoke for 3 times the time limit AFTER all that. He yelled at them when told time was up, then continued to fight his removal after the mic was cut.

@ATLnyuckanumberone No, he shoved cops both before and during the video. There were many witnesses & many cameras. He was not being illegally detained at all. He was being legally removed form a school function & he decided to make a big scene & physically resist the cops who have a legal obligation to remove him at the behest of the students running the event.
Simply asking a question has nothing to do with why he was kicked out, nor the later arrest, nor the later tasing.

@ATLnyuckanumberone Either you really don't understand this situation because you didn't read the comments, or else you're just trying to start trouble. This idiot intentionally caused a ruckus at a public gathering, was asked to leave, returned, cut the line, began shouting at everyone and was then ordered to leave. He refused. The cops took him out and he resisted. He got tased. Case was investigated and declared justified. Everyone else in the USA hates Meyer for this. What's with you?
FLSHBK1 22 hours ago
@FLSHBK1 In Europe the cops would have lost their jobs (if not more) for using unnecessary force. (you know there is no need for tasing a guy you clearly have under control).
And cutting the line, causing a mild ruckus, and finishing with asking ones question is clearly not illegal. Also I am pretty sure that (at least in europe) the police has to tell you, why they are arresting you. Getting arrested without being told happens in North Korea, but not in a "free and democratic" country.

@AntonGudenus Ahh, but they DIDN'T have him under control. While he was being cuffed, he resisted. He rolled onto his back and hid one arm under him, refusing their repeated orders and warnings he would be tased if he didn't stop resisting. He was arrested (and told so) for creating a disturbance and interfering with police. The students themselves had called the cops to remove him. Don't be fooled here ~ he was a villain , not a victim. As soon as they zapped him, he stopped resisting. It works

@Bonygasse Are you reading ANY of the previous discussion? This man was NOT "arrested for asking a question" or "suppressed for speaking his opinion". He was removed for causing a disturbance. An hour's worth of other students had spoken before him, and many after him. They maintained proper decorum and were heard. He made a problem and was removed. It's simple. We have free speech, but we also have rules to let others be heard. He violated them. Don't confuse freedom with ANARCHY.

@FLSHBK1 Him getting free one hand while 6 people are kneeing on you, is not being out of control. The one tall police officer was carrying him alone through half of the building. And of corse it works. Shooting people works even better. So would you think it's OK to shoot people who pose no threat to you, and who you have under control? Cause you know, its easier that way?
And even if he was the "villain", getting tased (or shot) in such a situation just happens in countries like North Korea.

@AntonGudenus Has nothing to do with him being "out of control." Like you said, they had him under control. The drive stun on the shoulder was simply to stun his free arm for a few seconds while they cuffed it. Not for "punishment". Not to "subdue him". Only to safely cuff his arm instead of using the old methods of forcing it where he doesn't want it to go, which are much more likely to cause injury. He was given ample chance to walk out peacefully, then warned many times to let them cuff him

@AntonGudenus As you can see @01:38, they had Meyer on his stomach with his hands behind his back. Before they can handcuff him, he pulls his arms free and spins onto his back (@01:53), hiding one arm beneath him (resisting arrest). They warn him repeatedly he will be tased if he doesn't stop resisting. As soon as they zap him, he cooperates.

@rapelpecho The cops escorted him out of the room once before, when he first created a disturbance on the mic. He was using vulgarities at the Senator, and refused to stop talking when his time was up. They turned his mic off. The cops told him to leave. He returned, cut the line, grabbed the mic and created another disturbance, yelling rapid-fire questions at Kerry and shouting over him before he could answer. Florida considered the case and justified the taser. Meyer later apologized.

@rapelpecho Did you watch it? they WERE putting him out of the room. It was a full 2 minutes between the taser and when they started leading him to the door (for the 2nd time that day). He was arrested for refusing to leave and fighting the ejection. He's only pretending to be arrested through much of it, and YES a few seconds of drive stun on the shoulder to cuff him after fighting with him for 2 minutes is totally appropriate. they could have legally used much more force but were lenient

@SeverinMk He resisted arrest. If he just would have went quietly they wouldn't have tased him. No that doesn't mean they weren't pussies for tasing some helpless college student that was no threat to them but it is what it is. If you're going to exercise civil disobedience, it's probably a pretty good idea to know HOW TO REACT when you inevitably get arrested.

Also note: Kerry is not even a President, like Medvedev. In fact Medvedev asks right away to let him say what he wants and remind later about rights of people say what they feel to say.
