OCALA, Fla. -- Many people are furious after a man holding a Holy
Quran was mistakenly Tasered by police.
Jeffrey Shields was shot with a Taser three times by Ocala police
Thursday, WESH 2 News reported.
Jefson Pierre Lewis said he watched from his apartment balcony as
police shocked Shields for five seconds each time, trying to get him
to put his hands behind his back to arrest him.
Police said that Shields refused to move his hands from his waist
band and officials believed he was brandishing a weapon.
Police said they received a 911 call about a man walking in the area
of 6th Terrace carrying a gun and drugs in a book.
Shields said he told officers he was holding the Islamic scripture,
the Holy Quran, and didn't want to desecrate it by dropping it to the
ground.
Officers said they still feared what Shields had under his shirt and
Tased him.
In light of this incident and the recent case at the University of
Florida where police shot a student with a Taser for speaking out,
some people said they question officers' use of force.

Kerry Questioner Tasered on Video

When John Kerry spoke today at the University of Florida
Gainesville, student Andrew Meyer asked three questions during the Q&A:
1) Given that you won the 2004 election per Greg Palast's book,
*Armed Madhouse*, why did you concede so on the day of the election
itself when there were many reports on the day of the election of
disenfranchisement of black voters and corrupted vote count? Kerry
while the question was in progress said he didn't need to read the
book b/c he already had read it.
Meyer said he had two more questions and asked them.
2) If you are really so opposed to the Invasion of Iraq(Iran?),
why don't you urge impeachment of Bush now before he can invade Iran?
Clinton was impeached for a blow job, invading Iraq/Iran is much for
serious than that.
3) Were you a member of the secret society Skull & Bones in
college? Police swarmed Meyer to pull him from the microphone and
remove him from the room. When he, like Rev. Lennox Yearwood at the
D.C. Capital, whose leg was broken by D.C. b/c he asked why he was
singled out to be refused admission to hear Petraeus testify, Meyer
was thrown to the ground, swarmed, and tasered, screaming in pain. The
fact that he didn't do anything wrong did not matter.
I was curious why Kerry conceded the 2004 election so very quickly,
but I won't ask him why and I am sure that he is not (really) going to
tell. Watch the video. Kerry should be telling the cops in no
uncertain terms to leave Meyer alone, but that limp imitation of a
liberal can only bring himself to say to the police, "I'll answer his
question," not "Get your hands off that man!"
I remember Kerry's debates with Bush. Kerry said that Bush was
too soft on Falujah, which was nearly razed to the ground by Bush,
with whitephosphorous used on the civilian population. Kerry said the
USA wasn't tough enough on domestic security to stop the next 911 --
docks and harbors needed extra checks and searches, we needed an
additional 100,000 police on the street to be safe from terrorists.
I would not ask Kerry why he did not tell the police to stop. I
already know.
