More UF Police Brutality From Another Angle: Student Gets Tasered While John Kerry Does Nothing!

As previously reported, the UF police engaged in a largely unprovoked bit of taser-wielding against a student heckling John Kerry at an open forum on campus.

This video more clearly shows the manner in which the police taser the student even after he offers to exit the event without causing any further disturbance.

Per his M.O., John Kerry does... nothing.

Per their M.O., the campus police are... a**holes.

Omg. That was seriously painful to watch. The worst part is that everyone continues to sit around watching...

Ok That big cop just carries him away, why did he not carry him out? I mean it's like the cops puposely wanted to make him yell. (I dont get it). Even if it was a disturbance, the police did not handle it well at all! Posted 09/18/2007 4:01 PMReply

I'm also disturbed by how the students just sat there instead of getting in there and try to get the police off of him Posted 09/18/2007 4:21 PMReply

Look I think the guy was playing it up but, the kids politics aside, WHAT EXACTLY was his crime? Asking a question (albeit heated) but it wasn't as though he was screaming. I heard a "public menace". If he's a public menace I want to make a citizens arrest on every single Academy Award winner. Posted 09/19/2007 07:40 AMReply

@ Darcy: Fighting police isn't exactly something most people envisage doing. If that happened it could have escalated into a full blown riot. I was more concerned at the cheering. Posted 09/19/2007 07:42 AMReply

@ Anonymous: I didn't even mean fighting the police, really. Like you, I was disturbed by the people smiling at the camera and cheering. I wish they would've at least gotten up and said/shouted something. Posted 09/19/2007 08:01 AMReply
