There are many things that concern me about this situation. There's the obvious freedom of speech issue, but I think the most disturbing is the apparent lack of regard of this "police" force for the group they are supposed to "serve and protect."
If not for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the students on campus, for what has this police force been created? If not specifically to "protect and serve" students, why wouldn't it suffice to leave law and order to the Gainesville police?
With one of my "kids today" at the dawn of her college years, young and idealistic with belief that she has the right to express all these new thoughts that occur to her as she pursues enlightenment, I am disturbed at the thought that she might one day be tased for attempting to ask a question in a public forum.
