It's been my experience that pregnant women don't always think calmly and rationally. Taking this into consideration might have saved the officer from APPEARING to be a zap happy thug.
What in hell did the officer think was going to happen, was this EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT WOMAN going to waddle after him and kick him senseless with her swollen feet? Hardly. And unless the officer had good reason to believe he was in danger of being injured, there is NO excuse for the application of force either less than lethal (Stungun) or lethal.
Shoot, he could have walked around the womans car twice as she followed and likely all the fight would have been out of her as she gasped for air from the exertion.

It occurs to me that the officer could have told the nice lady that she was ticketed and she could do anything with the ticket that she wanted to but it still would be $126.00 (or whatever).
By the way, as she was taking her child to the African American Academy, there is a possibility of she herself being AfAm and that begs the question of the race of the Taserist.

Obviously, you have never looked deep into the eyes of a crazed, 8 month pregnant woman who has been denied Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia because she was 50 cents short...
