I got a question. What if the cop pulls her out of the car, she grabs the steering wheel, breaks her arm. Or the cop pulls her out of the car, she slips from his grasp, hits her head on the road and gets cut. Does she still get to sue? Or is it just because he tasers her?

If he hurt her getting out of the car, I do not see a law suit because he was trying to help he receive treatment. It would be like a good Samaritan.

When he electrocutes her, because she challenged his ego, by her being in a distressed state of mind, we have a problem. The way I see it, he treats the public as a flock to fleece, and in his mind he was acting no different than a rancher with his cattle. If this cop was as quick to write a ticket to a fellow officer for the same things he tickets the sheep for, I will stand corrected, otherwise his actions speak louder. After all if the law was meant for everyone why wouldn't a cop write a ticket to a fellow officer for not using a turn signal?

She's fortunate to not have her dog in the car if she has one, I'm sure it would be dead. The police are totally
out of control. Why do they even have tasers as they
are definitely cruel and unusual punishment. The police
can shoot anyone that is really endangering them but
not treat citizens like cattle. Disgraceful. Our
Constitution has been totally trashed.

I'm betting he didn't know she was having a medical emergency. I'm betting he thought she was drunk and giving him a hard time.

And, he didn't 'electrocute her.' This taser gadget is supposed to be humane and given to us to decrease injury to people we arrest.

I think all gadgets are a mistake.

And, I think I see what your beef is, tickets. If it makes you happy, one of our captains did give a patrolman a speeding ticket.
