What’s most disturbing to me about this is all the FReepers piling on in approval.
I get it, you’re mad about someone cutting in line at McDonald’s. Huge injustice, entitlement society, it happened to you at Burger King, etc.
So that makes it OKAY for a police officer to use a TASER on a citizen, in violation of the laws of every state?
Because you can’t use a weapon on someone for failing to comply. Of course the cops are saying she “threatened” them. With what? A McNugget?
What kind of chicken-s***, lazy-a** cops can’t handle a woman in a car without resulting to the use of a LETHAL weapon? (Tell all the relatives of people who’ve been tased to death that they’re “non-lethal.”)
If they had hit her with a baton, would you still be high-fiving each other? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Cops are out of control. And it’s way past time for every state to ban tasers.
“without result” = without resorting
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.
