Couldn't they just have walked away from her until she wore out? Maybe she was throwing these things or something? Still sounds strange.

Hindsight is 20/20, but pepper-spray or mace would have been a better choice for someone confined to a wheel chair. She'd have to drop her weapons to cover/rub her eyes.

The cops involved and the maker of the taser gun had better hope that the autopsy shows some kind of serious,pre-existing condition...like serious heart disease.

Otherwise,these cops have a serious problem and some lawyer is gonna get awfully rich suing everyone in sight.

"Woman in a wheelchair. Way to go officers. No doubt you "felt threatened.""

I'm waiting for the "respect authoritay" crowd to show up and explain how she really deserved it.

Oh, I don't know, how do you stop anyone while they are swinging knives and a hammer.

"A woman in a wheelchair who swung knives and a hammer at relatives and police....."

I like the options listed in post #4. But alas, they are so old-fashioned who would ever think of them.

I'm sure no one would say she "deserved" to die. She "deserved" to be restrained and placed under arrest.

Summary execution by electrocution is becoming the sport of LEOs across the United States. Watch for the upcoming reality TV show: Cops meets Faces of Death.

Tasers deliver a 50,000-volt jolt through two barbed darts that can penetrate clothing.

Big deal. How many amps?

Yes, pepper spray needs to be dusted off and used more often. These taser things are killing alot of people.

Mankind existed for hundreds of thousands of years prior to the invention of the TASER. How do you suppose they handled it?

Never underestimate the desire of some FReepers to place members into groups and make unprovoked attacks upon those groups.
