Given that she tried to run, sounds like she was guilty of the hit and run.
No sympathy.
No sympathy.
Pretty harsh considering you don't know the extent of the hit and run. Hit and run can be anything from denting a fender without reporting it and leaving the scene to hitting someone one and causing bodily injury or death. So you are saying, assuming she was even guilty of the charge, that even if she only dented someone's car she deserved to be relegated to a life of being a veggie? Said life, of course, promises to be very short as they will probably pull the plug soon. Sounds like an accident as far as the police action goes, how was the cop to know what would happen when he tased her? OTH, Cops using tasers have been responsible for many deaths and injuries considering that the taser is supposed to be a non deadly response tool.
Which capital offense was she killed for - hit and run, or avoiding arrest?
Which Florida Statute is it that makes these two crimes punishable by death?
What happened to the lie that was told when tasers were first bought- that is, they will only be used as a less lethal weapon when a LEO (or civilian) is in danger? Was Officer Fatman in fear of his life?
One need not approve of criminal acts to recognize that the police are not supposed to be at war with citizens.
