"razorman450
habeus corpus... violated." No it wasn't. Meyer WAS read his rights. They don't have to do so prior to cuffing you. The fact is, NO ONE violated ANY of Meyer's rights in ANY way.

So Bush won... even without all the panhandle voters discouraged by the media declaring the election for Kerry prematurely.

Meyer deserved to be tased just for ignorance and idiocy alone.

Free speech doesn't include slander.

The National Operation Research Center at the University of Chicago, sponsored by a consortium of major U.S. news organization, conducted a Florida Ballot Project comprehensive review. The study found that under the system of limited recounts in selected counties as was requested by the Gore campaign, the only way that Gore would've won was by using counting methods that were never requested by any party, including "overvotes"-- ballots containing more than one vote in office.

And I can't believe how many bleeding-heart liberals there are on youtube screaming "fuck cops", "fuck pigs", blah, blah, blah. But when something happens to you, who do you run to and call... HELP ME! HELP ME! 911!!!! Maybe cops should put you on the Do-Not-Help list, so when you need their help, once they pick up the phone, they can say, "You don't like us. Remember? Ha! Fuck off!"

There was ZERO excessive force. HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT, TRESPASSING, RESISTING AN OFFICER, DISTURBING THE PEACE, AND INCITING A RIOT! They cuffed his right hand. They were trying to cuff his left hand and his free arm was latching onto a chair & he refused to let go. That's resisting arrest. When you resist arrest the police can use ANY means necessary. That's not illegal. And if you were to start ANY kind of rioting like you say, you'd have gotten tased & thrown in jail too.

Hey Cliffe...

If you were as smart as you think you are you would know that it is Constitution. The "C" is capitalized.

Moron.
