This is how YouTube heroes are born! Andrew Meyer, a student at the University of Florida, seemed to be looking for trouble when he asked a friend to video him at a Sen. John Kerry campus forum. After being granted approval to ask a question, but refused to give up the microphone when his questions grew more provocative. A campus officer stepped in who then tasered Meyer. The camera rolled throughout, and the next YouTube star was born. The U of F president called the incident “regretful” and placed the two officers on paid leave. As a University of Florida alum, all I can say is, go Gators!
 Midway through his time at the mike, as seen on the video, police officers appear behind him. As Kerry is heard saying, "That's all right, let me answer his question," five officers begin to escort Meyer out the door. In what is sure to become an AIM away message for millions of college students, Meyer yells, "Don't tase me, bro!" before an officer fires a Taser at him.
In the police report of the incident, officers state that Meyer calmed down once in the squad car, even joking with them and saying, "I am not mad at you guys; you didn't do anything wrong."
