Don’t Tase him, bro: Was University of Florida student Andrew Meyer putting on an act?
But one of the officers said that “his demeanor completely changed once the cameras were not in sight,” shifting in a matter of minutes from the kicking-and-screaming coiner of the new catchphrase “Don’t Tase me, bro” to “laughing and being lighthearted.” Then, they say, he asked them whether the news media would be on hand when he arrived at the police station.Moreover, one of the widely circulated videos of the incident was filmed with his own camera. As he pushed his way toward the microphone to put his questions to Senator Kerry, he handed his camera to Clarissa Jessup, a student he didn’t know, and asked her to record him.
Regardless, 200 students protested over the incident yesterday.
Sen. Larry Craig returns to the Senate. His colleages, presumably, spend an uncomfortable day ‘holding it,’ so as not to run into Craig in the restroom.
Thousands are expected in Jena, Louisiana tomorrow for a protest over the unfair treatment of six students—who are accused of beating up a white student, but were charged with attempted murder—known as the Jena 6.
Britney Spears has to undergo random drug tests, after an LA court found that “there was evidence that the pop star was “a habitual, frequent and continuous” user of drugs and alcohol.”
Is the lower interest rate the Feds delivered yesterday just going to push people further into debt?
I can't help but think that it is sad that students aren't as riled up about the people dying in Iraq as they are about some guy getting tased.
Oops sorry.
Sad, for sure, but understandable. Those kids are personally at risk for getting Tasered by their own campus' police. They aren't at risk of dying in Iraq unless they choose to be. In other words... no draft, no massive student protests.
