			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m hoping a good portion of you have heard about the University of Florida student who was <a href="http://www.amnestyusa.org/document.php?lang=e&#038;id=ENGAMR510302006" title="Use of deadly force">tasered by police</a> while asking <a href="http://www.vote-smart.org/bio.php?can_id=53306" title="Vote smart.">US Senator John Kerry</a> questions at a &#8220;town hall&#8221; event.</p>
<p>This is someone&#8217;s personal camera&#8211;a bit shakey&#8211;but it is full length:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="353"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iqAVvlyVbag"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iqAVvlyVbag" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="353"></embed></object></p>
<p><em>&#8220;If you let me go, I&#8217;ll walk out of here.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Here is someone else&#8217;s shot, less shakey:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="353"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6bVa6jn4rpE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6bVa6jn4rpE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="353"></embed></object></p>
<p>Here is MSNBC&#8217;s coverage:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="353"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCBcOQkUNjI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCBcOQkUNjI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="353"></embed></object></p>
<p>This student was never told why he was being taken by force by police.</p>
<p>Kerry&#8217;s official response:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In 37 years of public appearances, through wars, protests and highly emotional events, I have never had a dialogue end this way. I believe I could have handled the situation without interruption, but I do not know what warnings or other exchanges transpired between the young man and the police prior to his barging to the front of the line and their intervention. I asked the police to allow me to answer the question and was in the process of responding when he was taken into custody. I was not aware that a taser was used until after I left the building. I hope that neither the student nor any of the police were injured. I regret enormously that a good healthy discussion was interrupted.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Why can&#8217;t we talk with our <em>representatives</em>?</p>
