(The Politico) Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) said he still doesn't know
why police Tasered a University of Florida student during the
senator's speech Monday, saying, "I could have handled the situation
without interruption."
Kerry, however, was quick not to undermine the police decision to use force.
"I don't know what transpired," Kerry said. "The police must have had
a reason to make their decision."
The senator would not comment as to whether the police used an
appropriate level of force, saying, "That is a law enforcement issue."
Kerry was speaking at the University of Florida, when Andrew Meyer, a
student, burst into the room and ran towards a microphone, attempting
to ask Kerry a question. According to university officials, Meyer was
allowed to ask several questions before his microphone was cut off and
university police stepped in.
Meyer screamed: "Don't Tase me, bro!" as officers attempted to drag
him outside the auditorium, according to the Florida Alligator
newspaper.
Kerry said he never felt threatened by Meyer, saying he tried to quiet
the crowd and asked police to allow Meyer to ask his question.
"I have never had a dialog interrupted like that in 37 years, at any
event," Kerry said.
Meyer was charged with disturbing the peace and resisting an officer.
