Ich muss D�dilus hier recht geben und kann mich wieder einmal nur �ber das erb�rmliche Verst�ndnis von Grund- und Menschenrechten einiger Forenmitglieder wundern.

Da das ja wohl auch mich trifft:

Wer von vorne herein auf Konfrontation aus ist, sich gek�nstelt �ber die Vorkommnisse aufregt, bewu�t schwachsinnige Fragen stellt und das Ganze nur macht, um einen "Skandal" hervorzurufen, ist f�r mich nicht der Rede wert... insofern ist es mir reichlich egal, was wer mit solch einer Person anstellt.

Abgesehen davon: Er wurde nicht festgenommen, sondern sollte aus dem Saal begleitet werden... wenn er sich dieser Anordnung widersetzt - und das auf sehr gestellte Art und Weise - sind weitergehende Aktionen nicht verwunderlich.

Und alleine aus dem Video geht nicht hervor, was vor dem Ganzen abgelaufen ist... insofern ist es nachgerade fahrl�ssig, davon auszugehen, da� er nur wegen einer Frage hinausgebeten wird.

Eine Version der Geschehnisse von HIER:

Quote
A university student with a history of taping his own practical jokes was Tasered by campus police and arrested after loudly and repeatedly trying to ask U.S. Sen. John Kerry questions during a campus forum.

Andrew Meyer, 21, spent a night in jail before his release from jail Tuesday morning on his own recognizance. He had no comment when he left. His attorney, Robert Griscti, did not return messages seeking comment.

Videos of the Monday night incident, posted on several Web sites and played repeatedly on television news, show University of Florida police officers pulling Meyer away from the microphone after he asks Kerry about impeaching President Bush and whether he and Bush were both members of the secret society Skull and Bones at Yale University.

University spokesman Steve Orlando said Meyer was asked to leave the microphone after his allotted time was up. Meyer can be seen refusing to walk away and getting upset that the microphone was cut off.

As two officers take Meyer by the arms, Kerry, D-Mass., can be heard saying, "That's all right, let me answer his question."

Audience members applaud, and Meyer struggles for several seconds as up to four officers try to remove him from the room. Meyer screams for help and tries to break away from officers with his arms flailing at them, then is forced to the ground and officers order him to stop resisting.

As Kerry tells the audience he will answer the student's "very important question," Meyer yells at the officers to release him, crying out, "Don't Tase me, bro," just before he is shocked by the Taser. He is then led from the room, screaming, "What did I do?"

Meyer was arrested on charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace, according to Alachua County jail records, but the State Attorney's Office had yet to make the formal charging decision. Police recommended charges of resisting arrest with violence, a felony, and disturbing the peace and interfering with school administrative functions, a misdemeanor.

University President J. Bernard Machen issued a statement Tuesday saying he requested the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate the arrest. Officials said it would determine whether the officers used an appropriate level of force.


Alles in allem ist der Vorfall f�r mich �berhaupt nicht eine Zeichen daf�r, da� hier Menschen- oder Grundrechte mehr beeintr�chtigt werden, als in der Macht der Exekutive sowieso schon steht.

Und noch etwas Pers�nliches: Ich lass mir von niemandem - und ganz sicher nicht in einem Internet-Forum - mein Verst�ndnis von Grund- und Menschenrechten madig machen. Merk dir das, Ddraig, und unterlasse es in Zukunft bitte.
