Sounds to me on the surface like this one was justified. I'd like to know what she did to get herself zapped during the transfer from one car to another.
Still, this doesn't sounds to fishy to me on the surface of it. Nothing like that one recently where they tasered a woman in her 50s in a wheel chair until she died from it.

If this is the same story as the one I saw on the local news, it looks like the woman was screaming uncontrollably. That in and of itself, is disobeying orders and would justify a taser being fired.

Did she say “Don’t taze me, bro’” and “OwieOwieOwie” like the other guy?

Video shows she was combative even after being cuffed and stuffed. Video shows her trying to kick out the windows in the cruiser. I got tasered in a training op once and all I wanted to do once unhooked was take a nap and drink water.

More of our public serpents need to be regularly monitored on video...certainly they should have nothing to hide, right? I would suggest that for every red light camera installed in this nation, we need at a least one red tape camera in the office of some bureaucrat so that the public may watch the watchers. Certainly in a post-Katrina world, it can be strongly argued that bureaucratic malfeasance and ineptitude can result in mass fatalities, so if red light cameras are installed for "safety" reasons, the same argument could be made for the offices of mayors, police chiefs, governors, sheriffs, etc. throughout the nation.

Is there a video to be seen or are you just going by the article? I went to two links and didn't see a video.

I agree with this, actually. A citizen should have an absolute, incontestable right to film or tape and encounter between any public official and any citizen. If the public official or police officer feels it isn't fit for the public to see, then he doesn't need to be doing it.

"Another Ron Paul supporter?" She was behaving just like "The Andrew".

Fix news played the video this AM and it shows her screaming/yelling and flailing about while the officer is asking her to calm down. Then it shows her in back seat of car lying on her back kicking the windows and screaming.

I always thought that the taser was to be used instead of deadly force. From this story, I can't see where the officer was in danger. Or am I wrong, and it's used for control issues?

Do you ever see those cop shows where the perp is told to calm down and they don’t? Perfect time for a taser. Those low-lives need to learn.

I also saw the idiot at the Kerry function. He was handcuffed and surrounded by police when tasered. I just think they are using this too often in ways it was not meant to be used.

The taser is to be used instead of the old way of either clubbing the subject or rolling around on the ground with them. It is not a substitute for lethal force.
