Freedom of speech Tasered During Kerry Forum

John Kerry
On September 17, 2007, U.S. Senator John Kerry addressed a Constitution Day forum at the University of Florida in Gainesville, which was organized by the ACCENT Speakers Bureau, an agency of the university's student government. Initially allowed to ask questions after the close of the question period, Andrew Meyer, a 21-year-old fourth-year undergraduate mass communication student, was subsequently removed from the forum by university police for unruly behavior. During the struggle to arrest Meyer, one of the officers drive stunned him with a Taser following Meyer's pleading shout to the police, "Don't tase me, bro".


So long to freedom of speech
