After Andrew Meyer was arrested Monday and repeatedly Tased by police after verbally niggling John Kerry, his cry of “Don’t tase me, bro!” has sparked an online phenomenon all its own.

Even YTMND got in on it: donttasemebro.ytmnd.com.

Vox notes that while the quote’s been appropriated with a light-hearted veneer, it’s being used as a tool to spark tense discussions about the ethics of cops, Tasers and unruly suburban university kids. Can’t we all just get along?

“At least it’s not worse” is meant as comfort, but psychologists who study what’s become known as toxic positivity have found that skipping straight to the silver lining, before someone’s felt heard, tends to make them talk less about what’s actually bothering them, not more.
