Cops cleared in ‘Don’t Tase me, Bro’ case
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has released a 300-page report on the infamous zapping of University of Florida senior Andrew Meyer, whose rowdy actions, catch-phrase and police Tasering during a John Kerry town hall forum made international headlines.
”Don’t Tase me, Bro,” Meyer, 21, squealed after police put the screaming, combative student down on the ground and relaxed him with 50,000 volts from a Taser.
FDLE has determined that University of Florida police did nothing improper in subduing Meyer after he resisted arrest.
A statement from University of Florida President Bernie Machen and links to the FDLE report can be found at www.president.ufl.edu/incident/.
”While I am pleased that the FDLE review is complete, we still have work to do on a separate front. As an academic institution, it is our responsibility to continually review — and improve– how we foster an open environment that is also safe for our ever-changing campus community,” Machen wrote
Add another win for the police state. Fucking bullshit. Sure they guy was a complete douche-face but there was no need to taser him. Also, I searched the phrase “dont’ tase me, bro” in google images and got the most random fucking results. I made past the 10th page before I stopped.
