University of Florida Taser incident
On September 17, 2007, U.S. Senator John Kerry addressed a Constitution Day forum at the University of Florida in Gainesville, which was organized by the ACCENT Speakers Bureau, an agency of the university's student government. Initially allowed to ask questions after the close of the question period, Andrew Meyer, a 21-year-old fourth-year undergraduate mass communication student, entered into a planned line of questioning and was forcibly pulled away from the microphone.  He immediately resisted the campus security and was subsequently arrested by university police.  During arrest, the officers asked him repeatedly to stop resisting, but Meyer continued to struggle and scream for help.  While six officers held Meyer down one of the officers drive stunned him with a Taser following Meyer's shouted plea to the police, "Don't tase me, bro!".
