I don’t know, maybe I should become a flopping Ace, then I’d have the right to taser people that annoy me.

That fact does not make this incident a mistake. He was ordered to comply by a police officer to remove himself from the auditorium, when he did not he was arrested. When he resisted this arrest police officers don't have a choice to use force, they MUST use the necessary force to ensure compliance with the arrest. It's that simple. A taser is one of the least intrusive pain complaince methods out there next to pepper spray. But its a bad idea to use pepper spray in a large hall with many people in it. Now they could of used their fists to knock him senseless, or their flashlights to the joints and pressure points, but they choose not to. If the suspect believes it to be a unlawful arrest he/she can fight it in court, both civilly and criminally. But to fight them is not a choice. Your comments are childish and inane, typical police hater. I do believe your kind is more welcome at DummiesU tho, might try there.

I guess you are the company you keep.

Why ? Wouldn't it be better to look at all the cases where police actually kill someone unjustly. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/04/nyregion/04legal.html" rel="nofollow">Sean Bell anyone ?</a> Of course, police never make mistakes, just ask them. That's why the civil protections eliminated in the patriot act don't matter, police are always right, they are always following their training, and, of course, they never lie.

But you know Democrats, they LOVE wallowing in garbage, so Kerry just stood there, which gave Meyer all the license he needed. Kerry could have shut him down with one word and he didn't. It's the same deal as these Code Pink circus freaks. Dems don't just tolerate these nuts, they ENCOURAGE them.

He needs to pay for what he did and the police must NOT be, as theBronze aptly states, "hung out to dry". Now I despise Kerry, but he is a senator and causing a commotion at an even where a high-profile senator is will make the security force act. That is a given. The police seemed to use A LOT of restraint in dealing with this moron. Add to this that Meyers was more interested in the taping and the fact that it was clearly a set-up could imply that Meyer was doing more than disturbing the peace, he was inciting a riot among sypathetic students. Yet what was CNN focusing on today? They focused on the taser and only briefly mentioned that Meyer was a publicity hog. If only the media would pay attention to the video and motives like others have. Though, with all the set-ups that the media does, they may not want to advertise this. Meyer's lawyers state the video is their best defense. From the review SlimGuy did, I think they might want to take that back.

The Sgt. and the female officer that drive-stunned the idiot are on admin leave pending the results of the investigation. Look for them to be fired at the completion of it.
