'Don't Tase me, bro!' a global sensation
Asher Moses
September 20, 2007 - 12:40PM
The anguished cries of a student prankster, who was subdued using a
Taser stun gun at a political meeting in Florida, has resonated
worldwide in a matter of hours.
Two days later, it has now earned a place in the pop culture lexicon
alongside Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" and the infamous Star
Wars Kid.
"Don't Tase me, bro!" was uttered by Andrew Meyer as he was pinned to
the floor by police after he disrupted a question and answer session
with US Senator John Kerry.
The phrase is also being emblazoned on T-shirts.
YouTube videos of the incident, which was sparked by Meyer's
relentless questioning of Senator Kerry during a talk he was giving at
the University of Florida, have been viewed almost 3 million times.
Meyer, 21, stepped up to the microphone to ask cheeky questions about
impeaching US President George Bush and whether Senator Kerry and Mr
Bush were both members of the Skull and Bones society at Yale.
Meyer's voice became louder and more aggressive as he continued his
diatribe and, when he refused to step away from the microphone, he was
restrained by police officers. After struggling with police and
resisting their attempts to remove him from the room, Meyer was
subdued with a Taser.
"Don't Tase me, bro!" was the 11th most searched for phrase on Google
and opportunistic web users have already registered internet domain
names using spelling variations of the phrase.
(On Yahoo, "Andrew Meyer" is the fasting moving search term and "John
Kerry" is fourth fastest.).
Remixed versions of the original clip, as well as various video
responses from viewers, are pouring into YouTube.
Some have dubbed Meyer a "political martyr" and accused police of
using force to curtail free speech. A Facebook group recruited
protesters for a march against police brutality on the University of
Florida campus.
Florida investigators have been asked to review the use of the Taser
by the police officers, who have been temporarily suspended on full
pay, but the cultural firestorm is now blowing against Meyer after it
was revealed he had a history of taping his own practical jokes.
Many see him as a desperate attention-seeker who got what he deserved,
a view reinforced by revelations he organised someone to film the
session with Senator Kerry.
One police officer told the Associated Press that Meyer, before
beginning his questions, asked: "Are you taping this? Do you have
this? You ready?"
Video clips posted on his website, theandrewmeyer.com, show Meyer
performing various practical jokes including standing in the street
with a sign reading "Harry Dies", just after the launch of the last
Harry Potter book.
Meyer, who has not been formally charged, spent Tuesday night in a
cell and has yet to give a comment to media. He was arrested on
charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace.
Senator Kerry, who asked police to let him answer Meyer's questions,
has criticised the arrest, saying he could have handled the incident
himself.
"In 37 years of public appearances, through wars, protests and highly
emotional events, I have never had a dialog end this way. I believe I
could have handled the situation without interruption," he said.

What would you do if a Police Officer ordered you to "stop or I'll
Taze you"?
1. Keep running
2. Flail your arms and resist arrest
3. Stop

'Don't Tase me, bro!' a global sensation

I saw that event on TV fially the other night. The fellow wasn't
running, and he wasn't flailing his arms. He had already been pinned
down on the ground by 4 or 5 police and was ecssentially already
imobilized BEFORE he was tasered. There is no good purpose to be
served by that. That is torture, plain and simple.
Police should not have tasers, nor pepper spray nor any instrument of
torture. They have proven time and again that they are using these
weapons to torture people because of their political beliefs or skin
colour. It's just another sign of a police state.
