tasered and brain dead

[IMaDick]

I agree with duchess my eyes rolled when I read dick's statement of thinking before use of force.

LC, She did not run out into traffic, you have to remember she was in the parking lot for a park substation she ran out into the parking lot and the police cruiser that filmed it was basically protecting where she was running. The cop that tased her was literally within a arms reach so instead of grabbing her he tased her, and she was handcuffed to top it all off.

There is no doubt that tasers have given officers options over using their guns and saved criminal lives in that sense. In situations where officers have the upper hand and there is no threat to others there is no reason to use a taser, not to use it to just stop someone from running around. Think about it where was she going to go in a park substation parking lot handcuffed. Getting hit by a car going 15 miles a hour would have probably had a better outcome.

look at her hands, is she handcuffed?

all of our drug laws are in place to keep druggies from hurting other people.

This person was an escaped druggie, escape is not a cool thing no matter how it looks on TV. it's a serious crime in and of itself, remember cops don't write the laws, they are there to enforce what the public has asked for or remained silent while their respective governments passed laws of control for them.

The police rarely have the upper hand, if you think that's bullshit, pull over a car full of people by yourself at night in rural area and tell me how powerful you feel.
