What I want to know is, was her hair standing up like that Before or After the tazing. ... could be a market!

She more than likely felt that they wouldn't do anything to her in fear of a law suit or something.Dedman wrote:Even if she had felt (and apparently she did) that the stop was bogus and complpetely unjustified, she had to have known that the cops had superior firepower.
Because, as anyone with a toddler knows, a threat that is made without the immediate carry out of the threat if the given request is not complied with is useless.DCrazy wrote:I still don't understand why use of a Tazer is preferable to threatening someone with (but not using) a hangun. And then blowing the ****er away if necessary.
Because they can't follow through with that kind of a threat merely because someone won't step out of the car, and they need to be able to follow through (without hesitation), like Dedman said.DCrazy wrote:I still don't understand why use of a Tazer is preferable to threatening someone with (but not using) a hangun.

However, how many people a year die from handguns?
Where did I say we've all been tazed? Just make crap up huh? You've definately been tazed one too many times already.Canuck's statistics, always incomplete and one half of the story!
Well then according to Canuck's biased info, we all have been tazed and 3% of us have died..
Schweet... taze me AGAIN!!!!
Any American citizen does, but she was trying to use her feeble tv-based grasp of the system to intimidate him into dropping the whole thing the entire time. I'm glad she got tazed!TheCope wrote:She had every right to ask for the cops name, badge number, and car number.
My wife, mother, and sisters are all smart enough not to talk like this lady did to an officer.Lobber wrote:I think many of you would react much differently if this woman was your wife, girlfriend, or mother, or even daughter.
I don't see any reason to think they didn't. They pulled her over. Right decision. They asked her for her license and registration. Right decision. They arrested her for driving with an expired license as well as several other violations. Right decision. She refused to comply with the officers, so rather than fight with her -- which is dangerous for everyone involved -- they gave her multiple warnings and then zapped her rather than wrestling with her next to the street. Right decision.While I don't condone her breaking of the law, or her attitude, I don't think the police made the right decisions either.
If he sees this stuff "every day", why isn't it front-page news? Why aren't there 10,000 taser deaths over the past 5 years?I got this from a medical professional who sees this stuff every day
