The State We are in...

The below described incident has passed the news very much in my country, but I reckon it to be well illustrative for the state we are in.

The following movie was taken at University of Florida. The student got tased by the police after having questioned John Kerry about impeaching Bush.

The following is an account of another student that was present:

"He interrupted another student's question, and although Kerry had earlier said he was taking no more questions, he told Meyer he'd take his comments next. Kerry asked the police to allow Meyer to speak.

When it was his turn, Meyer first asked about the 2004 presidential election and followed with statements about whether President Bush should be impeached.

t that moment the microphone was turned off and police began to take Meyer out of the auditorium. Meyer then started to struggle with the officers.

As they pulled him toward the exit, Meyer broke free and tried to get away. At that point, six officers tackled Meyer to the ground and told him to roll over.

Could this happen in another country? I mean, apart from the fact that he got arrested, nobody reacts, nobody stands up and does anything. Everybody just sits around and waits till the guy actually get tased...

Is this the state we are in?
