    Worthy of a Post

    Apparently, this guy has never seen an episode of COPS. Resisting equals tazing.

    Since the video doesn’t show the lead-up to the altercation, context is needed.

    From the Gainesville Sun:

    Toward the conclusion of Kerry’s UF forum, 21-year-old Andrew Meyer approached an open microphone at University Auditorium and demanded Kerry answer his questions. Meyer, a UF student in the College of Journalism and Communications, claimed that University Police Department officers had already threatened to arrest him, and then proceeded to question Kerry about why he didn’t contest the 2004 presidential election and why there had been no moves to impeach President Bush.

    A minute or so into what became a combative diatribe, Meyer’s microphone was turned off and officers began trying to physically remove him from the auditorium. Meyer flailed his arms, yelling as police tried to restrain him.

    […]

    As Meyer was escorted away, he was followed by several students, including Matthew Howland, 20. Howland, a UF senior who said he didn’t know Meyer, said he was “appalled” by the way UPD officers handled the situation. Howland acknowledged that Meyer had acted inappropriately by “rushing” the microphone and forcing a question on Kerry.

    I’ve added new pictures to the photography section. These are mostly of a family trip to Beech Mountain, and Meagan’s trip, with Ethan, to Canada.
