I Like Soup Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I still fail to see how tazering him was justified. All that money UF puts in to their sports coaching may get a little sidetracked in a civil suit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I still fail to see how tazering him was justified. All that money UF puts in to their sports coaching may get a little sidetracked in a civil suit... I'm right there as well. In fact Kerry seemed more than willing to answer his questions. The kid did say that he had two more questions after the first when they were trying to get to his point and it seemed to me that he ruffled some feathers. I have a very strong problem with not being able to question our politicians. Politicians by nature are in a place were all sorts of corruption can and does take place. I talk to my state rep at least once a month here in Pittsburgh and I don't believe in tossing him slow balls. He is accountable for everything he does as my elected voice so long as he cash's that check. Now I do draw the line at harassment but I'm still not so sure that this was harassment from the whack job kid. I think this kid needs squeegiebo and her friend at this point. Oh and for the record, I want me one of those tazzers and if I have it there will be all sorts of youtube videos of a fat guy abusing the loud disruptive crack junkies that were just walking down the street.

You're right, causing a public disruption, resisting arrest, they shoulda just held hands and sang Kumbaya until he calmed down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 You're right, causing a public disruption, resisting arrest, they shoulda just held hands and sang Kumbaya until he calmed down. Why was that mic there? I think this was some sort of public forum and it seemed to me that Kerry was answering questions. Kerry is in politics. I don't see that this kid was causing a public disruption. Were they in a library? They were in a public forum with a mic so my assumption is that Kerry was there to field questions.

The kid approches a mic, and it's quite clear that his intent is to be confrontational and disruptive. If you don't see that, then there's no reason for further discussion. Not to mention the cops followed him from outside, and like I mentioned earlier, I don't think they followed him because they didn't like his shirt. Little d-bag got what he had coming to him IMO.

There is a link up in this thread that starts a little before the original link. It is the same thing but starts at least 30 seconds earlier. I don't know where you are getting that the UF cops followed this kid from outside? Maybe they did but I am missing that. Yes his intent was to be confrontational but to him he had a point. Kerry was willing to answer and said so. Then the UF cops moved in on him. I would have liked to see the cops wait until Kerry spoke to see what this kids next move might have been. He likely would have had something more to say but then again maybe he thought he just needed to get those three points out there. I do not support resiting police, btw. However, I no way can see where they needed to tazer him. I think that if they needed to tazer that kid then they need to go back to training and understand how six of them can easily handle one kid like that. It did not seem like he was on drugs and he certainly was not fighting other than just not wanting to be pushed out and handcuffed but six trained police can do a much better job than that, IMO.

AtomicCEO Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 once u start resiting they can tazer u at anytime..... dont ever resist they love to tazer I watched another angle, and the reason they tased him, bro, was because they were trying to cuff him and he kept trying to free his arms. Pretty justified, although you'd think 5 cops would be better at cuffing someone than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes his intent was to be confrontational but to him he had a point. Kerry was willing to answer and said so. I read an article about it after the fact that disclosed additional information about the whole situation. I'll post a link tomorrow. As for Kerry, I think he was just trying to not be a va-gina based on the confrontational situation, and wanted to answer the question sp he didn't look like he was trying to escape something. I am all against the police using unjust force/power, but in this case, I see it as 100% justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 man, they should taze that little attention wh0re in the mouth next time. Apparently the kid was quiet as they took him down the hall, but started yelling again as soon as more cameras appeared. Exactly..They should have let people line up to taze him like the scene in Airplane...I wish the cops made a drinking game out of tazing this bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I used to get my panties in a bunch in these "why the hell did the cops taze that poor person" threads. As a multiple time tazee, let me just say it doesn't bother me in the least any more. A lot easier to get the person under control by giving them a 5-second shock than wrestling with them.

They were to be used instead of guns to help subdue violent criminals. If these tools couldn't handcuff a kid in the prone position, that doesn't warrant the use of an instrument that was intended as a stopgap solution between hand to hand and guns being used. I'm not a whiny liberal who screams out when someone gets tazed...but it was the incompetence of these guys and the blatant misuse of the tazer that seems to me to be happening more and more. Is the kid a dumbass...absolutely. Was the use of a tazer warranted...absolutely not for its original intended purpose. You guys think every loudmouthed punk should be tazed? That is simply irresponsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I know that I am no bleeder. I am very much seeing this in the light that Soup seems to be seeing it. I would not go on some "save UF kid" crusade and honestly the reaction or should I say non reaction of the crowd sort of suggest that something was wrong. However, I am only going by what I watched in the youtube vids and so far I just can't see a reason for this kid to have been tazed. Again, understand that I am not one to be driving down the steet and seeing someone getting tazed only to get all worked up over it. I am just going by what I see in this video and to me it just seems crazy that they had to taze him. Those cops need some training, IMHO.

Azazello1313 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 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. Mallo was one of two officers who actually rode in the vehicle as Meyer was escorted to the Alachua County jail, and she said said he told them during the ride: "I am not mad at you guys, you didn't do anything wrong, you were just trying to do your job," according to Mallo's account. Mallo also wrote in her report that he asked, at one point, if cameras would be present at the jail. The report details the events leading up to Meyer's arrest, saying that Meyer was in line to ask a question of Sen. Kerry when it was decided that no more questions would be allowed. Meyer continued down the aisle toward Sen. Kerry angrily, according to police, saying he wanted the senator to answer his question because he had been waiting for two hours. Though Sen. Kerry directed that Meyer be allowed to ask his question, police reported that Meyer did not ask any specific question and instead "badgered" the senator, and at one point said something about President Clinton being impeached over a sexual act. At that point, police reported that ACCENT Director Max Tyroler turned off Meyer's microphone and asked police to escort him out of the auditorium, saying, "He had said enough," according to Officer Mallo's report. Officers then proceeded to attempt to remove Meyer from the room, but when he resisted, they placed him on the ground and tried to handcuff him. The six officers who actually took part in holding Meyer down while he was being handcuffed reported that they were only able to get a handcuff on his right hand because he was squirming so much. 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.

Hugh 0ne Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yep, stable, well-rounded, compliant individual. No need for tasering him. Dumb f*ck's lucky he didn't get shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 You guys think every loudmouthed punk who is making a spectacle at a public event and violently resisting arrest when asked to leave should be tazed? seems like a reasonable policy to me. if the dude is strong enough and onery enough to avoid the cuffs, better to taze him that to start a-whompin on him with a billy-club. if the cops ask you to do something, and instead of doing it, you start flailing and screaming and all that schit.....they're gonna taze you, bro.
