To: Revelation 911

The police officer is supposed to be the "voice of reason" in unreasonable situations. He did not use his discretion wisely, as I'm sure he had more than a few options available to handle the situation. If he felt his person was in danger the taser would have made sense. But to use it after he realized the lady was pregnant was excessive force.

how about this scenario in Rev911-topia?

Place a "boot" on her car IF her signature is legally required.

If her sig was not legally required - let her go home and sign the cop up for a refresher on "reasonable force, reasoned responses"

Voice of reason?! That's LOL funny!!! Is that your impression of the police? Police are the voice of authority, not the voice of reason. You'd know that if you ever had one barking in your face.
