"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ---C.S.

Re: Taser Cops Put On Paid Leave
The Rotenberg Center is the only facility in the country that disciplines students by shocking them, a form of punishment not inflicted on serial killers or child molesters or any of the 2.2 million inmates now incarcerated in U.S. jails and prisons. Over its 36-year history, six children have died in its care, prompting numerous lawsuits and government investigations. Last year, New York state investigators filed a blistering report that made the place sound like a high school version of Abu Ghraib. Yet the program continues to thrive—in large part because no one except desperate parents, and a few state legislators, seems to care about what happens to the hundreds of kids who pass through its gates.

Re: Taser Cops Put On Paid Leave
Just so there's no more confusion and falsehoods,

Here's the full transcript from the youtube video below

[link to www.youtube.com]




JOHN KERRY:
"and to continue to pile name upon name upon some wall in the future for a strategy that has failed - that's the distinction. Sir (Points to Andrew Meyer at microphone)"

ANDREW MEYER:
"I fir..I first and foremost want to thank you for your time. You spent a lot of time talking to us here today. I want to thank you for coming and being open and honest. Uh, you recommended a book to us earlier, I wanted to recommend a book to you it's called 'Armed Madhouse by Greg Palast'"

KERRY:
"Yeah, I have it actually..."

MEYER:
"Yeah, he's the top investigative journalist in America..."

KERRY:
"I've already read it..."

MEYER:
"and he says you won the 2004 election..."

KERRY:
"Right..."

MEYER:
"Isn't that amazing! Isn't that amazing, you won in 2004! In fact, there were multiple reports on the day of the election of disenfranchisement of black voters in Florida and Ohio."

FEMALE OFFICER:
(to Andrew Meyer)
"Ask the question. Ask the question. Last question. Ask the question."


MEYER:
"I'll ask my question. Thank you very much.
I'll ask my question. I'm going to preface it.
He's been talking for two hours, I think I could have 2 minutes.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Alright I'm gonna ask him my question... I'm going to inform people and them I'm going to ask him my question.
So there were multiple reports of disenfranchisement of black voters on the day of the election in 2004 there was also voting machines, electronic voting machines in falusha county in Florida that counted backwards.
So amidst all these reports of phoney, bogus stuff going on, how could you concede the election on the day?
How could you concede the 2004 election on the day?
In this book it says there were 5 million votes that were suppressed and you won the election. Didn't you want to be president?
I'm not even done yet. I have 2 more questions
If you are so against Iran how come you're not saying
Let's impeach Bush now.
Impeach bush now before he can invade Iran.
Why don't we impeach him? Impeach bush.
Clinton was impeached, for what a blowjob, why don't we Impeach bush?
Alright..
Also, are you a member... were you a member of Skull & Bones in college with Bush? Were you in the same secret society as Bush?
Were you in Skull & Bones?
(Mic Cut)
(Andrew steps away, back and left, from the mic)
Thank you for cutting my mic.
Thank you."


(Female Officer grabs Andrew Meyer's right arm)

MEYER:
"Are you going to arrest me?
Excuse me?"

(Female Office grabs Andrew Meyer's left shoulder)

FEMALE OFFICER:
"Stop. Stop it son."

MEYER:
"Excuse me?
What are you arresting me for?"

(Male officer grabs Andrew Meyer's right arm with both hands and forces him forward)


MEYER:
"Whoa whoa whoa"

(Female officer leading Andrew Meyer away on left side with both hands holding left arm, Male office leading Andrew Meyer away on right side with both hands holding right arm)

"Is anybody watching this?
I'm not doing it!"

(Inaudible)
(Audience applauds)

"Get off me. Get off Me."

(Andrew Meyer pulls back)
(officer's grab the front of his shirt)
(Third officer pushes him from behind left shoulder)

"Hey!
What the fuck are you doing?
Hey!
What are you doing? What are you doing?
What is going on here? What is going on here?
I want to stand and listen to the answer to my question!
Why are you arresting me for asking...?"

(Black Officer lifts Andrew Meyer by the waistband)

"HELP! HELP! HELP!
Are you kidding? They're arresting me!
HELP!
What have I done?"

(4 Officers pin Andrew Meyer to the floor)

"HELP!
Get off of me. I didn't do anything.

MALE OFFICER:
"Roll on your stomach... Put your hands behind your back or you will be tased."

FEMALE OFFICE:
"Push down. Do it now!"

ANDREW MEYER:
"Please don't!"

JOHN KERRY:

This situation (INAUDIBLE)..."

MALE OFFICER:

ANDREW MEYER:
"Let me just stand up."

MALE OFFICER:
"Roll on your stomach!"

(Andrew Meyer rolls over and 6 officers - 4 on torso 2 on legs - push him down to the floor on his stomach)

JOHN KERRY:
"I'll answer his question, and um, well, unfortunately he's not available to come up here and swear me in as president."


(Andrew Meyer's right wrist is handcuffed behind his back)

ANDREW MEYER:
"Why are they arresting me?
Would somebody do something here?
I'm being Arrested!"


JOHN KERRY:
"Uh, Let me just say that, because it is a very important question..."

ANDREW MEYER:
"What did I do?
Get off me!"

MALE OFFICER:
"Give me the other hand."

ANDREW MEYER:
"Get the fuck off me man!
I didn't do anything!"

MALE OFFICER:
"Tase him!"

ANDREW MEYER:
"Don't tase me bro!
Don't tase me!
I didn't do anything!"

MALE OFFICER:
"Roll over!"

(Taser clicking 3 seconds)

ANDREW MEYER:

 Quoting: GREY LENSMAN

i was wondering that myself. in the video i couldn't tell who was saying that to him.

not the job of law enforcement, if someone is going to prompt the questioner to hurry up, it should be the event organizers.

but you know there is a whole conspiratorial network of political control and repression, freemasons included in it, and the organizers and police were all involved. so naturally the organizers didn't object to the police harassing Meyer, and the police knew exactly what to do, because the questions Meyer asked aren't supposed to be heard.

sometimes i wonder if chipping and monitoring everyone wouldn't be a bad idea, because it might be the end of all conspiracies, all secret societies (or at least an end to secret societies criminal activity). zero privacy, total information available to law enforcement and government, could put an end to the jewish conspiracy for world domination if the government that puts it in place isn't itself compromised.

maybe the data would be available to anyone in law enforcement,
with local law enforcement having access only to local data

congressional oversight might mean congress would have access to data on federal employees, with security clearance required to view some of it.

in a court case the data could be subpoenaed.

with everyone watching everyone else, it would be difficult for a conspiracy to develop, meaning it would be difficult to secretly misuse such data.

You can not be resisting arrest until you are told that you are being placed under arrest by an officer. Since the video clearly shows he was not informed of that he could not have been resisting arrest.

are you mentally unbalanced?

check out the rights and duties of citizens, and supreme court rulings on such cases. NO ONE has a duty to allow themselves to be unlawfully arrested. SHOW me what law that kid broke...NONE, thus no one had a right to put their hands on him PERIOD and he had not only the right, but the duty to resist.

Ok - so I agree the kid was intentionally stirring up some commotion, but not threatening and actually some legit hardline questions I would have loved to hear the answer. he definitely was acting out a bit, however, the six of them coul easily have made him leave without stun gun or taser or whatever it was. At the very least this stunt did get everyone talking, did it not? People questioning politicans like Kerry with real questions standing up for whats right whether it was a prank or not. Now people are protesting and thinking hey maybe we are getting our rights guaranteed by the constitution slowly stripped and stifled. I say good show!
