  • Lol. when wasnt this guy resisting?

  • People that grow up in the United States are brainwashed since childhood that it is the land of Freedom.But its actually not

    .You got to travel all over the world to realize it.

  • he wasn't listening to officers, he was busy repeatedly saying "what are u doing" and not listening to officer's response, maybe?

    lol! "there are people who know i'm here", wtf does this guy think the officers are going to do to him?! "there going to try and kill me" LOL! what a paranoid dick head.

    am i being to harsh?

  • @toddzy2007 a little

  • This is why anarchy is a totaly legitimate ideology. When the government tases you for having uncomfortable viewpoints you need to recist. I´m not a leftist activist at all, I´m just another person standing up for free speech. That includes posing tough questions on politicians. The majority of the people in that lecture hall was uneased with this situation, to think they elected the officials that run the police force in their state...

  • @Salongsberusad this had nothing to do with posing tough questions on a poltician. It is a kid getting kicked out of his second school event in less than 2 weeks (doing it all with is camera filming, mind you) and screaming about being arrested for questions instead of leaving.

    What gets lost in all this is that they DID let him ask questions. Kerry DID respond to the questions (after Meyer left, read the transcript). The guy was simply being made to leave & caused a scene instead of leaving.

  • @mamacornettesmoney Alright if that was the case then I might have been reacting without having the full story. My bad. I watched this vid over a year ago and at the time i was shocked by the way they handled the situation, but i guess this is the states and its a campus bringing a high profile politican to a debate with strict forum rules. I missed out on the background, thanks for clearing that up!

  • State police cars in Florida sport a U.S. flag decal, rather than a Florida state flag decal. This tells you where their allegiances lie.

  • I like the idea of uploading but gave it 1 star to piss off the fan boys of the state in this thread.

  • @prboy2500 so he broke the law 3 times? wouldnt you resist arrest if some one was fuckin with you for no reason?, would you assault some one if they were fucking with you for no reason, and i believe between those two you would also disturbe the peace... i know i would i go fucking ape shit if those dumbass cops put there hands on me like that... only people that would get pushed arround like that and handled like that with out doing or saying something is a fuckin pussy and needs to be tased

  • @s13rb20power They weren't fucking with him for no reason. that is bullshit. He was kicked out of a school event (second one in in 2 week span) for breaking their rules repeatedly and refused to leave despite being given more time at the mic than anyone else (and it wasn't even his turn). Fuck him. He broke the law by refusing to leave. Everything that happened to him is his own damn fault.

    Getting "pushed around" is one thing. HE is the one pushing here. He disrupted an event & was kicked out.

  • You have never had the right to attend a forum & ignore the rules of conduct. You can read about people being disruptive being thrown out of forums going back to our founding, and being executed for it in Rome.

    And the supreme court ruled over 30 years ago that vulgar and disruptive speech wasn't protected under the first amendment.

    And given your screen name, we know you are a fucking idiot.

  • Here are the facts.

    Meyer attended a forum & ignored their rules, and learned that not only can they ask you to leave for breaking their rules, but that refusing to leave after having been ejected is illegal.

    Which is why he was convicted. The police were found to have acted correctly in every respect. And the ACLU refused to help him with a civil rights case.

    Because ironically, the video proves his rights were never violated.

  • They did help this fella. They helped him find the door, and they helped him to a lesson in adult behavior and constitutional law.

    The fact is that you have no right to attend an event and ignore their rules. They had every right to throw him out, and the police were right to remove him by force when he refused to leave.

    The rest of his treatment was the price of resisting arrest, and he earned every joule of it.

  • Yes. Inciting a riot. That is what you call it when you call on a crowd to assault police, or engage in any other illegal activity.

    And the police got exactly what they deserved. Three investigations proving they acted correctly in every respect. Taser policy unchanged. And Meyer got what he deserved, convicted.

    ROFLOL!

  • You might want to try growing the fuck up. You are 19 after all, if you aren't a liar. You have already proved you are an idiot.

    So tell you what. Why don't you go to a forum & act like Meyer. Just make sure the video is running so we can laugh at you getting arrested, dominated, and carted off to jail.

    The cops did their jobs & gave Mr. Meyer a wonderful lesson in adult behavior. Seems like you need one too.

  • All of the other attendants who did not do anything to help this fella are cowards.

  • you know what, that student got every thing he deserves. He violated a couple rights during his speech...therefore police took action.

  • Comment removed

  • Police in USA = Nazi Stormtroopers

  • The piece of shit deserved it! Disturbing the Pease, resisting arrest and possible assault on an officer. He's lucky thats all he got.

  • WTF? Can you possibly mean that? this is America, the police have no right to just randomly treat people that way. The guy broke no laws, the right was incited BY the police grabbing and dragging and tazering the guy. This is not Nazi germany. Police are NOT your friends, and they are not contracted safty officials, they are police, they had no right to be there in the first place. The questioner was well within his rights to ask the question.

  • He disrupted a public meeting, resfused to leave when ordered, and resisted arrest. He also later admitted that he set the officers up as he knew the incident was being taped. He later apologized in court. That being said, they should have been able to drag him out without a taser. They had enough people.

  • "The guy broke no laws" Simply put, you don't know what you're talking about. Comments like this, "..they had no right to be there in the first place.", show how truly ignorant you are. Seeing as Kerry was a sitting US Senator & the Police presence was REQUESTED by the event organizers, they had EVERY "right" to be there you idiot.

  • Wow, got alot of epeen going there ehh fanboi? No police should not be used for public or private forums. Getting his mic cut is one thing, getting tazed in front of an auditorium full of peers is completely another. I have no objection to him being removed or have his mic cut, I have issue with the arrest and the tazing. Forum rules are not state law. They have to create a juncture like "disturbing the peace" to justify it. But your love affair with the police is no cause to talk crap.

  • "No police should not be used for public or private forums"

    taht is your opinion, and thankfully for the people who like to have order at their events, your opinion doesn't mean shit.

    The guy wouldn't leave and was given MUCH opportunity to avoid the arrest and avoid the tasing. that all happened BECAUSe he loudly and physically refused to leave. Trespassing IS against the law in Florida.

  • Tresspassing....see how you have to make up some other thing in order to justify publicly embarrassing and tazing a non violent kid. Police shouldnt be there, you say they were paid to be there, well then security guards would have sufficed, my tax payer money shouldnt go to private protection, that isn't the police's duty. And no offense but how the hell would you like to be tazed in front of hundreds of people, justification would seem harder to do after that I'm sure.

  • "Tresspassing....see how you have to make up some other thing in order to justify publicly embarrassing and tazing a non violent kid." Just stating the facts, fuckstain.

    "Police shouldnt be there,.." Says a fucking moron arguing about something & doing nothing more than proving that you do NOT know what you're talking about.And no offense but how the hell would you like to be tazed in front of hundreds of people,.." I'd never behave as Meyer did in the 1st place asshole. cont..)

    "

  • "810.097 Trespass upon grounds or facilities of a school; penalties; arrest.--

    Any person who enters or remains upon the campus or other facility of a school after the principal of such school, or his or her designee, has directed such person to leave such campus or facility or not to enter upon the campus or facility, commits a trespass upon the grounds of a school facility and is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083."

  • "Getting his mic cut is one thing, getting tazed in front of an auditorium full of peers is completely another." It was 100% his CHOICE you fucking idiot. They told him REPEATEDLY that if he didn't stop resisting he'd be tased & he CHOSE to ignore them.

    "Forum rules are not state law." No shit, moron. When the fuck did I say they were? The fact of the matter is Meyer was NOT arrested OR drive-stunned for anything he said, rather for breaking the law.

  • "They have to create a juncture like "disturbing the peace" to justify it." ROFLMFAO Meyer wasn't even arrested for Disturbing the Peace. Had he not put his head up his ass, CHOSEN to break ALL of the forum rules, violently resisted a lawful removal & tried to get others to interfere with the Police he never would have been arrested in the 1st place. You really should do some research into things BEFORE you start arguing about them you idiot.

  • Forum rules are NOT state laws. Convince me otherwise. He did not violently resist, police apprehension is far from unstressfull. It was non violent. All you accomplish is appeal to ridicule while shoving arguement of the beard. Crying help is not asking others to assist in resistance, more so to help him not get fuckin hurt. He seemed genuinly concerned with harm being done. It's embarrassing and wrong. But by all means talk more trash... it's what trolls do.

  • "Forum rules are NOT state laws." I NEVER said they were you stupid cocksucker.

    "Convince me otherwise." You're doing a fine enough job of convincing yourself of things that aren't true.

    "He did not violently resist,.." Simply not true.

    "It's embarrassing and wrong." You're right. It's a good thing not all of us act like the selfish, disrespectful, lawbreaking prick that he was that day or it would be complete anarchy.

    I'm not "talking trash" I'm stating facts you fucking idiot.

  • yeah it's overwhelming how many facts I can clearly see from your posts. Ohh wait that's right, there are none. It's simple "He break law--u moron--u luke it up net tyme fu--"

    so dumbass if he didnt break the law by breaking forum rules in which you clearly stated explain to me how he deserved tazering again, or arrest, or how he would be called "lawbreaking" at all? Im having trouble following your expert logic. Make more sense next time kek!

  • "so dumbass if he didnt break the law by breaking forum rules in which you clearly stated explain to me how he deserved tazering again," Since I NEVER said that breaking the forum rules meant he broke the law it's YOU that should do the explaining, you fucking moron.

    The laws he broke that day were:Disturbing the Peace, Trespassing, Resisting an Officer with Violence, Inciting a Riot, Assaulting a Police Officer & Resisting Arrest. ALL verifiable facts. cont..)

  • ignorant cocksucker cont..) Meyer was arrested for Inciting a Riot & charged with Disturbing the Peace & Resisting an Officer with Violence & is DAMN lucky he didn't get charged with the rest of the laws he broke that day or any chance of his getting the deal for 18 months of probation would have been slim to none.

    He was drive-stunned for Resisting Arrest & it was 100% HIS choice. They told him what he had to do & what would happen to him if he didn't do it & he CHOSE to ignore them, moron.

  • "Ohh wait that's right, there are none." You obviously think that everyone else is a fucking stupid as you are. I've CLEARLY given your dumb ass facts & you CHOOSE to ignore them, much the same way as Meyer chose to ignore their REPEATED orders to stop resisting even AFTER being warned he'd be tased if he didn't comply. He brought it all on himself by his ILLEGAL actions & idiotic decisions & got exactly what he deserved based on them.

  • dumbshit cont..) As to the Police 'creating' the "disturbing the peace"....All you're doing, yet again, is proving that you don't know what you're talking about.

    "But your love affair with the police is no cause to talk crap." ROFLMFAO so because I support the actions of the Police in THIS I have a "love affair with the police". Brilliant fucking logic there, asshole

  • okay troll, I'll entertain your worthless youtube existance, yet again. You clearly show an overwhelming support for the police and their actions, you think it's fine to taze people in front of hundreds of peers. To conclude you are in an affair with them is logical. Shooting off ad hominems rather than making a floping point does nothing for you. You are pure base rate at best in this. Tazing people like that is fucked up. Cutting the mic should have been teh worst of it.

  • "You clearly show an overwhelming support for the police and their actions,.." In THIS situation, yes I do because they did nothing wrong you willfully ignorant piece of shit.

    "..you think it's fine to taze people in front of hundreds of peers." Only because it IS. Hell, it was HIS choice to be drive-stunned. They told him what he had to do & what would happen to him if he didn't do it & he CHOSE to be drive-stunned by CHOOSING to ignore their REPEATED orders & warnings you idiot.

  • Also, Meyer was NOT "within his right to ask the question." This ALSO proves that you don't know what you're talking about. He had the right to ask any ONE question but ONLY if it was within the confines of the forum rules. Those rules were:ONE question per person(he asked 5+), 30 seconds to preface it(he rambled on for a minute & a half before they cut the mic) & EVERYONE was told that ANY use of obscenities would result in thier cutting the mic. THOSE are what you call facts, moron.

  • "the police have no right to just randomly treat people that way"

    It was NOT "random". Where did you get that?

    "The guy broke no laws"

    Yes he did. He broke a number of them.

    "they had no right to be there in the first place"

    What a ridiculous statement. They were paid to be there & the order to remove him came from the people in charge of the event.

    "The questioner was well within his rights to ask the question"

    He wasn't kicked out for any question. You are confused.

  • police brutality....we americans have no rights, not even the freedom of speech, especially speech. protests do nothing here because the big-wigs don't listen.

    the more money you have, the better your chances of getting around the law. police are gods...toss em a gun and taser and they get diplomatic immunity for wrong doings. down with cops and their cruelties!

  • what was the question???

  • i like how that fat ass trys to block the view

  • Pigs love to use tasers, it gives them a hard on. The she-pigs cream their pig-pants. Bottom line: pigs and criminals come from the same defective, sub-human gene pool and we need to sterilise them all the improve the human race.

  • If that happened to me, I swear to God...I would find all those cops names and murder them in cold blood

  • you are a moron

  • go fuck yourself

  • It used to be a free country, because people were self governed and behaved respectfully. Now everyone wants to do whatever they want to. No rules, no sense of responsibility, no respect for respect.

    Because of their stupid behavior, we have to make more and more laws and rules. I completely did not support John, but the guy deserved to be tased. You ack like it is bad to be tased. I know what its like, quit crying. Boo Hoo

  • Ignore the idiots jvixx, you're absolutely right.

  • The punk was disorderly and disruptive, physically resisting direction from officers in their lawful duty. If you think you can disregard all rules and law, then move to Iraq and make it your home. You do not deserve to live in America itssaphiragore. The first people you would call would be the cops if someone robbed you or hurt you in any way. Move somewhere where there is no law and see how you like it. Bye, people like you are what is wrong with the USA.

  • actually it is people like you that are whats wrong with this country, you should move to russia, this used to be a free country, do honestly think this is what our founding fathers would have this in mind, we have lost so many rights as americans and mindless people like you with these comments are what have allowed the current regime of terrorists to take over this great country

  • blmartech, you're an idiot. NO one violated ANY of that pricks rights in ANY way. Just because you don't agree with what happened does NOT make it illegal or in any way a violation of his rights. He broke no less than 4 laws that day, ALL of the forum rules & the Students Code of Conduct. EVERYTHING that happened to him he brought on himself by his actions & stupid choices that day.

  • fuckkk cops

  • "Next time, reply to me directly instead of avoiding discourse like a coward, OK?" - humanityiloveyou

    Ummm...how about...NO? And, go fuck yourself.

  • humanityiloveyou, what is your problem? I'm not afraid of you or a discourse, & calling someone out as a coward is a fail.

    Much of what you say is reasonable. However, the ACCENT student government sponsor of the event clearly stated their rules of decorum, if anyone wanted to participate the could do so only if they abided by their rules. Everyone else managed to do it with no problem. That's what civilization is built around, acting appropriately for the situation you are in.

  • cont'd...If Andrew Meyer had stood up and started in with railing against gays or blacks in a menacing way, he could have been arrested for a hate crime. Talk is talk? I don't know you or your situation, but life is FULL of situations where you must act and speak appropriately for that particular situation OR you will find yourself in serious trouble, or at least thrown out the door with your kicked and busted ass bleeding on the sidewalk. If you havn't discovered that yet, you will.

  • andrewrlee86, the student, Andrew Meyer, is currently on 18 months deferred prosecution in a deal worked out by his qualified attorney. He has been under full university sanctions. He appeard on the Today Show Oct07 and apologized and said "the cops were just doing their job". He has issued 3 public letters of apology.

    If you are a member of the bar, then you must know that attorneys opinions vary, and can vary drastically even with that of the judge.

  • They told him to leave but he refused. They escorted him out, but Kerry told them to let him ask 1 question. THAT's when the vids start.

    He was told that he was not to break any Forum rules. He gave a short speech, asked multpile questions, and said "blowjob". All violations. As he said "BJ", the director ordered his mic cut and he was told to leave. He fought them as they tried to get him out. When they FINALLY tackled him, they gave multpile warnings and did what they told him they would.

  • I can't believe this incident didn't lead to any riots. How can you live in a country where the police acts like this?

  • They aren't doing anything wrong. This video only shows a small portion of what happened. Meyer was kicked ouut for improper behavior at a student event. No more, no less. The only reason security gets involved is because he won't leave and fought with the cops. He just needs to walk out. That's it.

  • Why did he need to walk out. What was the inapropiate part. Talking for to long? Asking a question Kerry wanted to answer anyway?

    Even if it was what he intended, the police would have acted wrong giving him to much attention. And what about the use of the taser...they are about 6 policemen while he is only one.

  • They promised to have Kerry answer at least 6 questions, with more as time permits. He answered 8 and they announced that the next question would be the last. Meyer was 5 or 6 deep, so he flipped and started berating Kerry as "bullshit" and "full of crap". He demanded time to speak. He was told to leave and refused. They started to escort him out, when Kerry got them to bring him back to ask 1 question after he's through with the other one. All of this was BEFORE the videos start.

  • Ok if thats true, I have to admit it wasn't wrong to escort him out. But it would have been a good idea to tell what he has done wrong. Especially because of the cameras. This video threw a bad light upon the american police. And since you often hear about american policemen beeing much too violent(often concerning the arrestment of an afroamerican) most people where ready to believe this video.

  • "But it would have been a good idea to tell what he has done wrong"

    He was told what he was doing wrong. Before he got to ask a question, they told him he violated the Student Code of Conduct and if he cussed or badgered Kerry he would be gone and he was to ask one question. He broke all of those rules. He knew exactly what was going on.

    People do rush to conclusions and believe every bad thing they hear about police and a lot of other things without checking the whole story out.

  • At least that explains everybody laughing when he is escorted. I think i should be more sceptic the next time. But i couldn't believe anyone having fun doing this.

  • ok if u watch tha video in the beginning of this he was taken for asking the question where u a member of the skull and bones secret society right when he said that tha mic was cut and they started to grab him i didn't see anything or hear any thing wrong he did until then and of course he was mad cuz he knew tha reason they took him cuz of that question

    about the secret society they dont want any of those ignorant ppl 2 know about that stuff

  • "There are people that know I'm here. You can't, like, kill me."

    LOL WHAT A FUCKING TOOL

  • what bothers me the most is that out of all of the people that was around on person said they would go to court and testify . did you see how many others thought it was funny?

  • Nope, I'm sorry again humanityiloveyou, you are dead wrong. The ACCENT student group that ran the show warned everyone at the beginning that being vulgar would get you kicked out. Secondly, Florida State Law 833.17 states it is a misdemeanor to distrupt a university function or event. Look it up, it is what was cited in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement report. It is also a crime to ask others to help you avoid a lawful arrest.

    Do your homework. Get your facts straight. OK?

  • so he was punished on the spot however if thats legal its the next best thing to a spanking

  • Oh come on.. as a member of the bar association I can tell you now, nothing they did in the effort to handle this was justified. FL Law 833.17?? Police brutality doesnt reference to somebody being arrested for something they did wrong, it references to the way a member of the police HANDLES something that goes wrong. The forum was open; I have viewed this entire tape and nothing he said was in violation of a law. No law in the world would reinforce those "cops" behavior in a court of law.

  • "The forum was open"

    No, it wasn't. This was a Q&A session AFTER the Forum. The Q&A was "open" but it was also limited by time (they promised a minimum of 6 questions and more as time permits - he actually answered 9 before Meyer). Before the 9th, they said this was the last question. Meyer pushed past the people in front of him and started yelling at Kerry that he was Bullshit and he was talking circles for hours.

  • Secondly, you mention Florida State Law 833.17 and for the laymen, it would make perfect sense. However, the law doesn't specifically state that uttering "blowjob" is a disruption of a college function. They pull him out before he could "disrupt" the function. You say it was vulgarity, but that's another subjective issue. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that he would be charged with the misdemeanor, making your argument completely irrelevant.

  • In addition, even if there was a specific Florida state law banning someone from specifically saying vulgar words at a private function, the Constitution has jurisdiction over all state laws, and would override it with the freedom of speech clause. Thus, he has a right to say whatever the hell he wants without being penalized for his WORDS. Verbal or Physical attacks not included. Anyway, you did your homework, except you did a half-ass job at it and didn't get MY facts straight.

  • "In addition, even if there was a specific Florida state law banning someone from specifically saying vulgar words at a private function, the Constitution has jurisdiction over all state laws, and would override it with the freedom of speech clause."

    BULLSHIT, how the hell does ACCENT setting & enforcing rules for THEIR forum equal the Government creating laws that infringe on our 1st amendment rights. It doesn't matter how eloquently you speak if you don't know what you're talking about.

  • Your full of crap. NO WHERE in the Constitution does it give you the right to go into SOMEONE ELSE'S event or place of business and do whatever you want with no fear of consequences. Quite the opposite. Lawsprotect your right to set and enforce rules. If someone breaks them, they can be removed and if they refuse to scooperate with police, they just might get zapped. Bottom line is, Meyer was the one trying to violate the rights of ACCENT to run their Forum, not the other way around.

  • Next time, reply to me directly instead of avoiding discourse like a coward, OK?

  • Sorry humanityiloveyou, you are wrong. He was taken outside for saying "blowjob". They warned everyone in the audience if they used "vulgarity" they would be immediately taken outside. Period. So they did it. He wasn't being arrested, he was only yelling that like a jackass. They were only taking him outside. Then he slammed the cop at the back of the room, and continued to resist and THAT my dear is why he was arrested. If he hadn't acted like a jackass there would be no problem.

  • tazedbrotwo,

    It's funny how you evaded possible discourse by pretending to reply to me. You never replied to me directly, and I bet you hoped your words just reached your target audience to suffice your self esteem. But, you got caught, First of all, "asshole" or not, he was asked to leave the premises for TALKING. Even if his behavior was against forum rules, he was asked to leave for TALKING. Saying "blowjob", "cunt", "tazedbrotwo", "redundant", are all words.

  • humanityiloveyou, you sure talk a lot for someone that doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. It doesn't matter how much self control you demonstrate or how eloquently you write. Plain & simply put, you don't know what you're talking about.

  • Then, he was tazed while being pulled off the premises. You say they had the right since he resisted aggressively. I say he barely resisted and he had a right to since the police never explained to him what his charges were. Either way, being tazed for resisting a police officer from pulling you out of a private function without any charges is pretty fucked up. The police aren't security guards of the private sector, they are public servants who we pay taxes to protect us.

  • what a drama queen...

  • if he were to shut up and listen to the police officers, maybe he would have his things and maybe they wouldnt have treated him that way

  • shannonmclaughlin said:

    "if he were to shut up and listen to the police officers, maybe he would have his things and maybe they wouldnt have treated him that way"

    Probably true. But, the significance of the video is that he was taken away for asking a question. He has to commit a crime to be arrested. As stupid as the question might have been, they arrested him for free speech which is guarranteed in the Constitution. We pay taxes for the police to work for us, not vice-versa. REALITY CHECK

  • "But, the significance of the video is that he was taken away for asking a question."

    He was NOT taken away for asking a question. What a crock of shit! He was ARRESTED for refusing to leave and trying to incite a riot. He was told to leave for repeatedly breaking forum rules. Get the whole story before commenting.

    He was NOT arrested or removed for asking a question. You obviously have only watched edited clips.

  • He was repeatedly asking questions (however stupid they may have been) and the police pulled him off the premises. How is that a crock of shit? Whether he was breaking "forum rules", as you say, or inciting a riot, he did this by TALKING. I don't know why you keep defending the physical aggressors' side. That's your prerogative, but don't attack me with strawman's arguments. YOU should read my comment more carefully before replying with verbal attacks. I got the whole story. You clearly didn't.

  • "He was repeatedly asking questions (however stupid they may have been) and the police pulled him off the premises"

    You don't realize that he was ALREADY ejected for cussing and cutting line. He was allowed back to ask 1 question and started givign a speech. When told to ask his question he refused, then started asking multiple questions. But he STILL wasn't cut off until he said "blowjob". He had already shouted "Bullshit" before the video and new vulgarity would get him removed AGAIN.

  • You really should research the incident because you clearly don't know the whole story. he was NOT punished for TALKING.

    And you admit he broke forum rules but don't think the director of the Forum has the right to remove him for that? You are wrong. He was ALREADY made aware of his trangressions and allowed BACK to ask a question even though others were in front of him and the Forum was over. HE was given special allowances and he abused them so he was removed. It was totally lawful.

  • yea you can bet that if he was questioning bush it would be a different story

  • ATTENTION "EVERYONE".... In regard's to a past post of mine, Where I went on to say that the exec's at youtube, (Along with our good friend's at Hewlitt P.) Anyway.... I'm sure many of you have already read it, And for those who have'nt.... YES, It was only a "Joke"... I'm just having a difficult time believing all the mail I've received since this post, All you knucklehead's who have actually questioned the authenticity of such a story, I mean, Come on.... TKP Still in Mo.

  • Well, 29palms4u, that just goes to show you just how retarded most YouTube viewers are. They are like mindless sheep that believe everything they read and everything they see...just like how they believe this video shows "police brutality and violating freedom of speech". They've been brainwashed and cannot think for themselves. This kid is a journalism student and he was acting through the whole thing. Its not real folks. He has apologized for pulling this stunt and ruining the event.

  • Just so you all know, The executive's at youtube, Along with those at HP, And a few other PC Companie's as well, Have decided to go in on a "Taserlike" device, That will instantly "shock" any user's who they feel have "posted" any sort of material deemed inappropriate by their sensor's. In other word's, Better watch what you say on here after Feb. 19, 2009, (Which by the way, Just happens to coincide with the same day TV station's will switch their signal's over to digital format, Coicidence? hm

  • Oh good lord please tell me this is your idea of a joke 29palms4u & that you don't really believe what you posted.

  • Dude, they warned him a dozen times before they tased him. He wanted to get tazed. It doesn't hurt as much as he acted like it, he was acting it up for the cameras. He told his friends he was going to do something to be on the TV news that night because Kerry was there. He got what he wanted. It didn't hurt him at all. He apologized to the police in the car on the way to the jail. Its on tape. He over-acted the whole time and now he's famous for it, and you're arguing about it. XD

  • that kid is a stupid punk. sit down and shut up, trying to get noteriety just because JK was there is stupid. Even though I didn't vote for Kerry, he was invited to speak and that kid should have respected that.

  • Man maybe you should get tased next time you say something no one likes.

  • I've said a lot of things people did not like but I haven't started a fight in years. Nobody was there to fight, listening to john kerry was optional, have a little regard before you get up and make a scene.

  • Watch the whole video he wasnt fighting he was asking Mr kerry questions until the police came and tried to drag him off.

  • Aroli80, why don't YOU watch the whole video sometime, then you wouldn't be so ignorant. You can't honestly believe that campus cops just walk up to a rich college student and haul him away for no reason. There was a precursor of almost 10 minutes of him cursing Kerry and daring the cops to arrest and taser him before this video even starts. This wasn't an open forum, he simply demanded to speak and when given the chance he wouldn't stop even after being asked several times.

  • tazedbrotwo, cussing and verbally attacking someone in a public forum is hardly against the law. Even jerks are protected by the Constitution.

  • im glad we can say what we want on youtube.

    ooo you were/werent in some secrect society(fuckyou) and that fat copper i want to thrust palm in the nose.

  • ive never seen this footage before. it makes me think he is even more of a blabering puss

  • Oh come on, that is pretty harsh.

  • In this incident that guy who was speaking, he was out of order and the police were simply going ask him to leave. The guy chose not to go willing. At that time had received an assualt on an officer. The officer gave him many many many chances to leave but yet he didn't and he continued to resist the officer's. At that time to gain control of the guy and to get rid of the nusiance they tased him and took him into custody. At no time was this ever police brutality. They were just doing their job.

  • This shit was unfair.

  • He was not "tasered" in the usual manner that you see criminals "tasered". The police applied a surface taser only to his left arm, in order to spasm the muscles so that they could handcuff him without further struggle and possible harm to the student or the police. This type of taser application causes cramps in the arm and a numb feeling for a matter of seconds and causes no harm. He was arrested for resisting a lawful removal from a forum he had disrupted with his behavior/vulgar language.

  • He shouldn't have been arrested for the questions he asked but the way he asked it in an "asshole" fashion. Then after the fact he won't shut up and make a scene. But then again he just wanted to know why he was arrested and in no way should have been tased whatsoever.

  • Perhaps I can clarify things with State Law:

    Florida State Code 877.13 Education Institutions and School Boards; penalty for disruption.

    It is unlawful for any person knowingly to disrupt or interfere with the lawful administration or function of any educational institution, school board, or activity, on school board property in this State. Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s.775.082 or s.755.083.

  • Fuck the fucking police. What the fuck happened to freedom of speech? Every single cop that touched him needs to be put off the force.

  • LOL Scalzo123, I think every single one of those Officers deserves a pat on the back for the self control they showed in dealing with this loudmouthed, selfish prick. Did you count the number of warnings they gave him? You people act as if they walked up & tased him when he was talking at the mic just because they didn't agree with him or something.

  • "what did i do, what did i do?" YOUR NOT COMPLYING YOU IDIOT. Hes acting, cause he knows that simple minded people will scream brutality. your not allowed to do what ever you want people.

  • especially if its against the law

  • Very good points tyriless. Unfortunately, most of the crowd that watches this are young males who just grew a set a berries between their legs, and they don't believe anyone has the right to tell them to behave decently or respectfully toward others, the others watching are just wankers from europe & canada looking for another reason to dis the USA to avoid criticising their own country.

  • Its ridiculous that here we are almost 9 months after the fact, 8 months after he plead guilty, 8 months after Andrew Meyer appeared on the Today Show on TV with his attorney and his parents & apologized to the police & to the university, 8 months after he published 3 letters of apology, & here on YouTube a bunch of clueless, goofy-headed people are still whining about "He didn't do anything" & "police bruality". The student has taken full responsibility 8 months ago. Please don't do dat.

  • only in the USA. u see such things.

  • sure he may have been speaking a little loud but he was hardly being a "public nusince" he asked a few questions but never got a chance for them to be answered because he was dragged out. but if your saying he gave no chance for them to be answered think about it for a second, each student would only get one chance to speak at the mike so if he didnt ask all the questions at once he would only get one out and have to sit down. and i would like to know is kerry in skull and crossbones or not?

  • told my bros I was gonna see Kerry

    I was gonna get tough, it was gonna be scary

    So I made a big scene and gave Kerry hell

    If I got through to him it was hard to tell

    I said "Skull and Bones" and things began to sizzle

    Pigs gave me the taze, It was my ass! Oh shizzle!

    Yo, Skull and Bones,

    I said Yo, Skull and Bones

    I said Yo, Skull and Bones

    I said, Word

  • On October 31, 2007 I was on the Today Show & I thought I was in heaven. Matt Lauer, that douche, tried to get me to say That I did it all on purpose on that fall day. But I denied that yo, even though it was true The day I got in trouble with the boys in blue. Now I'm selling ringtones to every fool, and the ones that don't know that I'm just a tool, All they wanna hear is, "Don't Tase Me Bro!" But way deep down, I think they all know, I said Yo, Skull and Bones I said Yo, Skull and Bones Word
  • No thanks blogfogg, its still a free country and I know what I'm talking about. All the facts AND the tasered student himself, are on my side. I will not STFU. Kgr8thnx.

  • tazedbrotwo shut the fuck up.

  • Part 2) The student, Andrew Meyer, didn't think the rules applied to him. The Q & A time was over, all the students were asked to take their seats, Meyer screams "Bullshit!", shoves students aside, grabs a turned off mic, & starts screaming obcenities at Sen. Kerry. The police grab him but Kerry stops the cops, chews out Meyer, & then allows him to speak. Meyer asks 9 questions for over 2 minutes, uses vulgar language & refuses to end it. So they cut his mic back off, & police grab him.

  • The forum rules that ACCENT has for these events is to ensure the freedom of speech to everyone within a context of respect towards everyone. The rules were very basic: A 20 minute Q & A time total at the end of which the mics will be turned off, each student gets to ask 1 question only for a period of 1 minute, and no profanity or vulgar language. That's it. This allows the greatest number of students to participate and keeps things at a level of decency and respect for others.

  • sure they might be able to arrest him for resisting arrest but he didnt do anything wrong for them to arrest him in the first place and youll notice that he was calm when he was asking what he did wrong and that woman kept saying calm down.

    and later when he appeared on some talk show he was brainwashed or something because he was saying that he was in the wrong and he was getting unruly and he was defending the cops case for arresting him

    THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SPEAK OUT!!!!

  • I will say a few things, all logical opinion, not "insightful" liberal bullshit. He was an idiot from the moment they started grabbing him. I do applaude him for what he was doing at the mic with his questions. He had every right to ask what he was asking and was NOT attempting to induce a riot THAT was the police exagerrating their jobs. But when they started arresting him, whether he was stupid or not his resisting was immature. Also he DID have the right to know what he was being arrested for

  • aarrcchhoonntt, this was a put on. The guy does this heckling bit all the time. You'll notice one of the first things he said was, "Is everybody watching this?" He only wanted to make sure he was the center of attention. That's why everyone was laughing at him. It doesn't really matter whether he fully enjoyed the tasering or not. Perhaps he should have listened to the 12 warning he received to settle down or be tasered.

  • fuck cops, fuck america, fuck politicians , fuck all those who can't say fuck the government! fuck that guy also because he made a big scene.. in his place i would get arrested for trying to kick the cops ass! ahah

  • THis dumb ass did this just to make a scene. He is a little pussy and Im glad he got tazed, what a litle bitch.

  • A scene? For who? Do you think those were screams of pleasure you heard? I'd say he didn't enjoy the whole event at all.

    You see the act but fail to see the meaning of it. With every man such as you I see, I believe more and more in that Orwell was right about there being a Prole mindset. That frightens me.

  • "Don't tase me Bro!"

  • sure he had balls to ask some questions. although they told him numerous times to get to the point and to stop giving a speech, so they cut his mike and at firts calmly tried to escort him out..he resisted that. im glad his dumbass was tazed

  • That wasn't fucking police brutality? He refused arrest, and there comes the taser. Hes cries like a baby and the bitch overracts, that's what make u think this is brutality. If he just walked out like a fucking normal person nothing would happen. Stupid ass.

  • fuck you and all sweden people..go fuck your self stupid moron

  • So, what is it you douchebag cop-haters & America-haters remember most about this video? The taser? Kid's cry for help & Ow, ow, ow!? Other students laughing? What? How about vote fraud, remember that part, Ass Hat? That's what this is all about. If there IS a conspiracy a foot, its to distract you away from the problem of vote fraud & get you to concentrate on the taser & cops. That way they can keep right on stealing your votes & you are clueless, like, "Duh, Wha happin to my vote?" Morons!

  • THIS DUDE IS MY HERO!!!!!

  • Notice how John Kerry points at him while he say's he will anwser the question. Come on. This is the Communist State of America.
