If you're going to be stupid, you've got to be tough (or nonconductive).

Well I guess I'm going to be the lone voice of descent here, but force continuim when you have two officers against a woman should be a little less than a tazer in the abscence of actual physical resistance.  She was informing someone she had been pulled over and where she was.  The officer was clearly within his rights to order her from the vehicle and to remove her if necessary.  I however fail to see how two officers couldn't remove her without tazing her.  I think he was a little hot on the trigger.  Furthermore ordering her to put her hands behind her back as her body is convulsing and she has diminished, if any muscle control, and immediately tazing her again is bullshit.

You might think she is hamming it up for the cameras, but she doesn't know for sure she is being recorded.  The cops however do know and I liked the whole comment you shouldn't have taken a swing.  I didn't see any swing.  Clearly not before the initial taz.  Maybe before the second as she was convulsing, but I think that was thrown in there to give themselves cover.

I think tazers serve a valid purpose.  I also think they are used and abused a little too frequently.  If she fell out of the vehicle upon being tazed, she wasn't belted in, and that officer could have grabbed her arm and had her against the vehicle while using pain compliance if needed to cuff her.

Sorry, I'm usually the cop defender around here... but this disturbs me.

Well if there was additional video that should have been shown.  They did manage to show 5 minutes worth of video after the tazing.  I just go off of what was supplied.  AND... IF... that was the sum total I stand by bad shoot.  If there was more, I reserve judgement and thank you for pointing that out my friend.

Give me a break, she couldn't have gotten a right hook across him under the best of circumstances, much less from a seated position being pulled from a vehicle by a man more than twice her size with back-up.

Have you ever been in a fight with an angry black woman?  If you have you'd know why they tazed her.  I'd rather fight with a pitbull with a tooth ache than a pissed off black woman.

Yeah, I bounced for many years and tussled with my share of drunk, high and angry black women.  The day those two officers couldn't have restrained her is the day they should have surrendered their shields.
