Absolutely! The taser was "sold" on police departments to deal with people cranked up on PCP and immune to baton blows, not to zap anyone who doesn't snap his heels together fast enough. There was no reason the cops could not simply have taken the cell phone away from her. If she resisted, then there are various techniques they could have used to deal with her, none involving the use of batons, guns or tasers.

Yeah, now it seems LEOs will Taser anybody who doesn't practically fall to the ground and handcuff themselves. So many of todays officers are way too concerned about "avoiding personal injury"; they'll use the Taser at the least sign of resistence, or less. Pathetic.

Your right Chris, how dare the police put their safety first. They should be more concerned about the safety of a resisting suspect. I mean so what if a guy might have a gun, he might not, and if he does it might not be loaded and if it is loaded he might not actually pull the trigger and if he does it might malfunction and if it doesn't he might miss and if he don't it might hit your vest.
