US Student Tasered for Asking John Kerry Questions

Are we there yet? | 18.09.2007 13:06 | Repression | World

The following videos show a student being dragged away by the police and tasered after asking John Kerry why he conceded the US election to Bush, as documented by Greg Palast, in Armed Madhouse,  http://www.gregpalast.com/ why he doesn't favour impeaching Bush to stop the attack on Iran and if he is a member of Skull and Bones.

I e-mailed the University of Florida Police Department to express disgust. They replied as follows:

"Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns with our agency. I have made a formal request of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to review this use of force action. I have full confidence in their ability to objectively investigate this incident.

As a professional organization, it is important that we remain open to and encourage feedback from the community we serve. Once this investigative process is complete, we will take everything into consideration as we move forward with our analysis and reviews of protocols and procedures.

Again, thank you for your comments.
