A report by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said the officers were justified when they used the Taser gun on Andrew Meyer. Police have said Meyer refused to stop questioning Sen. John Kerry at a campus event last month. The videotaped altercation and Meyer's cries of "Don't Tase me, bro!" were played frequently on the Internet.

Police charged Meyer for resisting an officer and disturbing the peace. The State Attorney's Office has not yet decided whether to file formal charges. University President Bernie Machen said his student-faculty committee to determine how existing event-management rules can be improved will continue to meet.
