Why UF Police Should Be Tried For Attempted Murder and Terrorism?

Should the UF Police who attacked Andrew Meyer on Constitution Day be tried for attempted murder, Terrorism and any other lesser included offenses?

Florida Statute defines attempted murder as


Terrorism "involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life which is a violation of the criminal laws of this state or of the United States; and is intended to: (1) Intimidate, injure, or coerce a civilian population; (2) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (3) affect the conduct of government through ... murder." (Title XLVI Chapter 782(5))


The right of the people to be free from unreasonable seizures shall not be infringed. People are also entitled to the legitimate use of self-defense against violent aggressors.

In this case, as soon as the police touched him he was 'sezied' and 'under arrest.' He asked Why many times. They are required under law to state the reason (501 U.S. 429). They failed to do so. Exercising his self-defense rights he attempts to flee and reacts nonviolently. They pursue aggressively and violently. Although not required to, he states a remedy for the only possible cause of action they could have against him (trespass - he will leave peacefully). They continue to pursue aggressively and violently. After he is handcuffed and without justification (self-defense) they escalate the use of violence to DEADLY FORCE (tasers have resulted in the death or serious bodily harm of many people).

Because the officers were the aggressors without justification and used deadly force with reckless disregard for human life they should be tried for attempted murder and many other offenses.
