After watching the back and forth over Andrew Meyer getting tasered on YouTube, I can only say that this is a prime example of what a lack of common sense and an overwhelming desire for attention will do for you.
There’s been an awful lot said about blaming the cops in that particular situation , but I think it ought to be pointed out that it was the organizers of the event… ostensibly a Democrat supporter, that turned off his microphone. It was the organizers of the event that asked the police to be there in the first place.
Keep in mind; the tape of the event was on Meyers personal machine. He had handed to another individual and the crowd asking him to record what happened. The result is what everyone saw.
Mind you, I hold no truck with John Kerry. I think John Kerry to be among the most contemptible people on the planet. But Andrew Meyer, was way out of line. What the police did was not the wrong thing to do. They followed procedure. They did their job. To blame the police for something Meyer set up is more contemptable than John Kerry, even, and that’s saying something.
And, Andrew Meyer knew police procedure. If you watch the tape closely enough, you’ll notice that Meyers actions specifically calculated to elicit a specific response from the police. If you look on the man’s web site, his face book profile describes him as a “born heckler”. I keep hearing rumors also, that the man was drunk at the time of the confrontation. Have you noticed, that the mainstream media can’t be bothered to investigate any of this? Yet they will continue to run the footage that he’s so gladly provided them…
In short, he’s lucky they only tasered him. They should have put his glutius maximus up around his shoulder blades.
