This post is a response to 9/11 truther Andrew Meyer being tasered by cops at University of Florida John Kerry speech. Andrew Meyer was grabbed by cops yesterday after he asked the former presidential candidate why he didn't challenge the rigged election of 2004 and about his membership of the skull and bones secret society. Meyer asked police what he was being arrested for as they dragged him to the back of the University Auditorium before manhandling him to the ground.
Here is the video of the tasering incident and arrest at the University of Florida:
Only when Meyer was immobile and had five officers on top of him did the police decide to send 50,000 volts of electricity coursing through his prostrate body, seemingly waiting until Meyer begged them not to do it so as to enjoy the maximum power trip from administrating the torture
Here is an excerpt from Andrew Meyers' website at http://www.theandrewmeyer.com:
"Andrew Meyer is currently incarcerated in Alachua County. While asking U.S. Senator John Kerry a question during a question and answer period following Kerry's speech at the University of Florida, Meyer was attacked by five police officers, manhandled and tasered. Fortunately there are videos and many witnesses to this injustice. Some articles and videos are linked below. Please show your support by educating yourselves and raising awareness by letting others know what has happened. Continue checking back to this website for updates."
The police are now trained that "pain compliance," a euphemism for torture, is acceptable in apprehending anyone even if that person poses no physical danger.
In many cases, cops will tazer someone even if they offer no resistance whatsoever, simply for the sick enjoyment of the power trip as the victim begs and pleads not to be tortured.
Take the case of UCLA student Mostafa Tabatabainejad,
who was stunned over and over again for refusing to show his ID at a campus library"
Here is the subsequent video

Most police departments in most countries now think it's ok to taser children.
Google "taser+children" to find out more about tasering children!
Here is the "CES Video On Tasers"
Neuro Muscular Incapacitation
(Or Electro Muscular Disruption)
Putting a weapon of this type in the hands of largely uneducated, repressed individuals who are not able to control their impulses is criminal. Tasers are used as a method of torture, not as an instrument of protection. Coupled with the suspension of Habeas Corpus by the Patriot Act, this method of police brutality is an extremely dangerous and explosive practice. It makes the "police state" concept a frightening but true reality.
