A video of the event, filmed by Kyle Mitchell, is making the rounds on the internet and is available now at YouTube.com: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6bVa6jn4rpE The two-minute video shows officers grabbing Meyer's arms, throwing him to the ground and then, after Meyer is already secured on the ground, blasting him with a taser. Here's a blow-by-blow account of what happens in the video. All dialog below is from Andrew Meyer: Meyer is at the microphone, asking Sen. John Kerry a question. Police are standing behind him. "Are you a member of Skull and Bones... are you in the same secret society?" Two uniformed police officers step forward and grab his arms. "Excuse me, what are you arresting me for?" Officers are holding his arms and begin to march him away from the microphone. "Woah, woah! Is anybody watching this?" Meyer holds his arms in the air, is shouting something to the audience to get them to pay attention. The audio is difficult to hear. At no point is he fighting the officers or striking them in any way. He is merely holding his arms in the air and attempting to stand his ground and be heard. A large uniformed officer forcefully picks him up by his torso and begins to carry him away from the room down the center aisle. "Help! Help! They're arresting me! What have I done?" When Meyer reaches the back of the room, he does what any rational human being would attempt to do when assaulted by someone: He attempts to flee. "Get away from me, man. Get off of me!" He tries to run but is grabbed by officers and thrown to the ground. The number of officers now assaulting Meyer is six: Four white males, one white female and one black male. "What did I do? HELP! HELP!" The six officers pin his arms and legs to the ground and pull out handcuffs. "HELP ME! HELP! They're arresting me!" The female officer, with her finger pointed at him, screams at him, "Stop resisting!" He relaxes a bit and says, "If you let me go, I'll walk out of here." The female officer says, "Quiet down! Do it now!" Then the officers forcefully turn him over and thrust his torso to the ground so that he's laying flat on his stomach, with his face on the floor. "Why are they arresting me? Can someone do something here?" "What did I do? Get off me, man! I didn't do anything!" He tries to sit up, using his arm to grasp the edge of a seat and pull himself up. An officer pulls out a taser. "Don't tase me bro! Don't tase me!" The officer tasers the student, and the taser clicking is clearly heard on the video. "OWWW! OWWW! OWWW!" Another girl is heard screaming in the background (unknown at this time who it is). "OWWW! OH MY GOD! WHAT DID I DO?" Someone screams in the background, "Police brutality!" Someone in the foreground (bearded man) says, "Stay back!" Police escort Meyer out of the room and the video ends.
