I recommend you google or look for youtube videos with "John Kerry Andrew Meyer" as the key words to read a few reports and view serveral different videos so you can hear everything.

John Kerry was doing a Q&A at the University of Florida. Andrew Meyer, a 21 year old journalism student asked John Kerry why did he not contest the last election, and brought up the fact that many disenfranchised blacks were cut from the vote. Andrew's mic then got cut, and police officers came in, dragging Andrew stage off stage to the cheers of Andrew's fellow students.

Andrew put his arms up and began to ask why he was being arrested. The police manhandled him to the back of the auditorium where they pull a taser on Andrew. At this point, the student's cheers turned to concern and then start to question the cops and demand that Andrew be let go. Andrew is heard screaming as he's being tasered. Kerry, just a few rows up, says nothing to stop this.

On video, the cops are heard telling Andrew that he's being arrested for inciting a riot and resisting arrest. The actual paperwork state that Andrew is being held for violently resisting arrest.

The two things that upset me are:
1) This makes me think that if I ask any difficult questions to a politician, I will be arrested, hurt, or both.

2) John Kerry could have said something. Anything. He didn't.

Well that leaves John Kerry out of any kind of election. Though sadly I could be wrong.
And I heard about this. Apparently some people are call for the cops to be indicted for excessive force.

We live in a police state. The revolution is coming.
