As someone's who has been to discussions like these, two whole minutes is not that long to wait. And I would never, ever, endorse those who make this time go longer have their most basic physical rights violated by some pigs on a power trip, while a member of the new-order oligarchy stands up on the stage and looks on.

I apologize for not addressing this in my last post. While others have mentioned time as a factor in this incident, the only one who was concerned about it was Mr. Meyers. It was his realization that time was coming to an end that forced him to ignore the rights of others. He was, at that time, unwilling to wait and see if the guest speaker would entertain questions beyond the allotted time.

Perhaps I misspoke. He was belligerent and out of control. The "power-tripping pigs" had the authority to escort him from the building. Mr. Meyers was rather adamant about his desire to remain where he was – meaning he wasn't going to let them hold his hand and gently guide him away from the microphone as if he were that lovable scamp, Beaver, and send him on his merry way.

On that day, at that moment, Mr. Meyers displayed complete disregard for the rights of those around him. Had he seen reason with the initial requests to step back, away, or out – whatever that may have been, this whole ordeal would have ended right there. He did not. Mr. Meyers escalated the situation, continuing to demonstrate that he believed his rights supercedes everyone else's. He admits as much in his letter to the UPD.

My opinion on whether or not politicians should be routinely tased is another matter altogether.

Bullshit. He was the figurehead of the discussion, not to mention the highest authority figure in the whole thing.

He was a guest speaker. Being a senator does not make him in charge of everything everywhere he goes. Could they have listened to him? Sure, I guess. I don't believe they are required to do so.

So tell me why he was fried when already forcibly restrained.

Neither of us can answer that question. You say "power-tripping pigs" and I say, "I'm not convinced that's the truth."

Please also note, your insensitivity to the harm caused by the police displayed in your post is grounds for tasing by your own argument.

That would have made for a hilarious scene as Meyers tased the guards back. Yes, a laugh riot.

Feel free to step in line with Uggy and Hist when you feel like not being a hypocritical wanker.

You're not in charge here; you can't tell me what to do.
