After viewing the video of Andrew Meyer's tasering, a Rutgers conservative student decided to speak out on facebook, responding to the statement "First Amendment is dead."
"A man resists arrest, detention, or, as it obviously comes across, the simple removal of someone from a room, and somehow this is the death of civil liberties in America? Come now. The UF officers gave the heckler 2 full minutes to calm down and make the temporary detention an easy procedural matter, but he refused -- adamantly so. The students in that lecture hall, blissfully ignorant of the entire notion of authority, cried "POLICE BRUTALITY!" after hearing the heckler's cries following the tazing. The police did not storm in looking to use force. They took every possible step to avoid using force. They gave the heckler a multitude of opportunities to cooperate.
He chose not to."
He goes on to add, "to think of this as anything more than an officer following the law, acting in accordance with the law, and demonstrating both restraint & patience in dealing with someone who refuses to comply with a simple order is naivety of the order that only the young can possess."
Police brutality my ass. There are many instances of brutality; to label this as such is to insult real victims of overzealous law enforcement."
He would make a wonderful old man some day.

Most times, I think too much and do too little. Things I write may not always end up being what you want to read, but I work hard keeping apathy at bay. If you know something the rest of Rutgers should know, please drop me a tip.
