I've been looking for a response from Kerry, haven't found one as yet (if someone can link one I would be grateful).
Another thought that occurs, mostly from reading the readers responses on this discussion, is that if six officers are not enough to subdue and remove one student then perhaps we should look at their overall competency.
I think their use of the taser was for their convenience and to exact some sort of revenge on the student for actually making them work;)
So if Mr. Meyer is a known 'dissident' why were the police not more controlled in their actions, surely they must have known that their actions would have been closely watched, it begs the question...."Why on earth taser an unarmed student when you have six officers pinning him down????" It's obvious they didn't think and demonstrated the "Shoot first! Ask questions later" mentality that seems to becoming more and more prevalent in today's society.
I'm quite disappointed by the reaction of the senator, it will hardly endear him to his voting demographic.
