Reply #15: He did not know the kid was tasered until he left the event

How could he stop what he did not know even occurred. Not to mention he was on the far other side of the room. What would you want ANY person to do. There were 700 people in the room. The police were not under Kerry's control. Although the Fl code may be too free to use a taser, the circumstances fit the state guidelines. Was Kerry supposed to have walked off stage, down the aisle and started punching the police?

I can see objecting to the FL guidelines. I can see you thinking the police over reacted. But Kerry actually gave the student a chance to speak, after he was already disruptive, that few politicians would have given. Meyer was a senior at the school, he very likely knew what behavior was allowed at these events. Once he overstepped the line and was told by authorities to leave, he should have followed orders. Had he immediately calmed down, the police might have let him stay when Kerry said he would answer the question.
