Most of you have heard of the UF student who asked John Kerry some questions the other day. Andrew Meyer was publicly tortured by tasers in front of his class by police. CNN and FOX tried to whitewash the event, but on close examination of the audio and video, you can see that the student did not resist, but begged the officers to not taze him. Then in response a sadistic officer spitefully said, “Taze him!” and so the police attacked. Josh Goldman, a close friend of the torture victim has gone public on radio here and defended his free speech.

But the UF torture incident is just the tip of the iceberg. The taser was designed primarily for torture. “Taser devices are frequently used to torture and interrogate people such as political prisoners and that tasers are used by police in the U.S. particularly for torture to gain compliance.” As a test of the device, the US Air Force tasered fully conscious animals. Even traffic cops use tasers to torture women for speeding. But what about 56-year-old Emily Delafield who was murdered by police using tasers?
