It’s called excessive force. She wasn’t a threat to anyone.

My understanding is that the officers lawfully ordered the woman to get out of her car and she refused. Some amount of force was thus justified. They used the taser. Why exactly was this excessive? Isn't the whole point of the taser that it is a less-dangerous means of forcing uncooperative arrestees to comply with lawful orders than the alternatives?
