So they were supposed to shoot her, or what???
Too many officers are falling into the “when the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail” problem with regard to Tasers. It’s some LEOs’ Magic Bullet solution to nearly every difficult arrest.

Wow-this looks like a script for Reno 911.
You don’t need to taser a woman in a wheelchair that isn’t carrying a firearm ten times. Someone has an itchy trigger finger, it seems.
They could have grabbed her arms from behind on a backswing and disarmed her.
The police in this country really need to be reined in. There’s just too many stories like this coming to the forefront.
Sounds like the female police officer used aggressive force. The male officer had it right. I hope he’s the one that used his taser first.
The female officer should be kicked out and jailed.
Shocking!
Incredible. Even policemen must understand that electric shocks may put a strain on the cardiac system. If she was in a wheelchair, why didn’t they just stay out of her way?
She must have asked Hillary Clinton a question.
Seems to me that a baton is still a very useful thing to carry for such situations. I don’t think cops use them as often now that they carry tasers.
10 times???? Someone was having too much fun with his taser toy.
Should have just thrown a big blanket over the woman.

I am getting so sick of the police getting a bad name. She was not following what the police demanding (positional authority - sorry). She deserved what happened. If enough of this type of things happens, people will be less willing to risk getting killed. I am sick and tired of arrogance of criminals. If the cop says stop...stop. If the cop says move...move. If the cop saids hands over your head, then put your f’ing hands over your head. What is so dang hard about it. I am glad that people are going to be forced to learn this. It is a shame that some are losing their lives, but they did it to themselves as far as I am concerned.
There is something amiss here...I don’t think we are being given all the facts...
they said get on the ground! everyone knows the cops should be obeyed no matter what. The state is our lord and master.
The cops think they are on Star Trek and can set their phasers on “stun”. I’ll bet $100 that the tasers give the same jolt of voltage to a frail little lady with a cane as to a 300 pound body builder on crack or whatever the hell they use to get high.
