Torts 101. Battery. Assault. False imprisonment. Violation of the USC 1983...yeah you can go there. ....
How about trespass, self-defense, right to arrest, resisting arrest?
Reasonable force.
Taken directly from the kids website, I'm left wondering what the outcome could be....
Andrew Meyer is currently incarcerated in Alachua County. While asking U.S. Senator John Kerry a question during a question and answer period following Kerry's speech at the University of Florida, Meyer was attacked by five police officers, manhandled and tasered. Fortunately there are videos and many witnesses to this injustice. Some articles and videos are linked below. Please show your support by educating yourselves and raising awareness by letting others know what has happened. Continue checking back to this website for updates. http://www.theandrewmeyer.com/

NOW... here's something else....Just a note. My two cents, and maybe just "sense". Within 24 hours this has sparked national campus wide protest. Why is it that Mychael Bell has spent 9 months in prison, with only Historically Black Universities being upset. Why is the media so eager to take up one causeand not another?
Why is Mychael treated and reported in the media like a "convicted criminal," when only "allegations" are available? Why is it that Mychael's been in prison for 9 months when prosecution admitted had he pleaded, he should have only received a 5 month maximum sentence? Why isn't the media possibly releasing to the public that The Jenna 6 were also victims and not solely perpetrators of violence???
May I remind people that are upset about the Kerry/UF incident, that this is 48 hours of injustice, to an adult. It's well documented, well published....and undoubtedly, will receive excellent representation.
Mychael. The judge dismissed the charges. The DA has yet to refile. The alleged "beating" was treated same day. Do I condone Mychael's behavior, IF in fact the allegations were found true and a FAIR trial were held. No. But like Andrew Myer's case....there is a thing as "reasonable force."
For that matter, there is something to be said about not allowing oneself to be scared into silence or submission.
Tomorrow, along with two metropolitan "national schools," I will be supporting the fight of injustice to Everyone, everywhere by wearing Black, there will probably be at least 600 of us. We've alerted the media to come. What do you think little universe?
Think they'll care? Think we might (JUST MIGHT????) get 5 minutes on the ten o'clock news? I don't know....but I'm hopeful.
Let me know your thoughts little universe.
