Tasered Andrew Meyer Apologizes
Andrew Meyer. You may know him as the University of Florida student who was tasered after persistently questioning Sen. John Kerry during his campus speech on campus. His cry of "Don't Tase me, bro!" made him a somewhat local celebrity for anti-taser activists and the like.
He has finally apologized for his actions. He sent letters to the university, its president, and the campus police department.
"I made the decision to supersede the rules, and for that I apologize," Meyer wrote. "I should have acted calmer and obeyed the directives of the officers. If I had, none of the subsequent issues would ever have arisen."
Meyer, a communications major, said he was taking a leave of absence but would return to school in January. He pledged to Bernie Machen, the Florida president, that he learned from the incident.
"I am a far more reasoned individual than I was a short while ago, and the reasoned response of the university has helped me a great deal," Meyer wrote.

By what I saw in the video, his rights were severely mistreated. The officers used force before asking, no? I don't think I would have apologized... or maybe he was somehow forced to.
America is in a crazy state, and John Kerry is just another rich prick who let Bush win.
