What would you recommend? Punching her in the face instead? Or continuing to ask her to get out of the car for another two hours, and THEN tazing her? It looks like getting tazed allowed the woman to be pulled out the car with less physical damage than if they'd just fought with her the whole time like you'd propose. And yes, the taser is non-lethal.
“What would you recommend? Punching her in the face instead?”
Maybe. But only if she took a swing at them or drew a weapon. They’re cops. They’re trained to get a woman out of a car without resorting to lethal force. If they can’t manage that, they should be fired.
The cop who tased her should absolutely be fired, because — one more time — they’re not ALLOWED to use a weapon on her for “failing to comply.” It isn’t a judgement call — they are guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.
And despite your baseless assertion to the contrary, the use of tasers has proven lethal in countless cases across the U.S. If death results even only SOME times, that makes it a lethal weapon.
These cops are two things that should never be allowed in cops: incompetent and sadistic.
