Video has surfaced of a Daytona Beach police officer using a TASER on a woman in a store.
According to our partners at the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Elizabeth Beeland was shopping at a Best Buy in Daytona Beach last month.
Before she checked out, she got an upsetting phone call about her child and stepped outside to take the call.
According to the police report, the clerk said Beeland was suspicious and flagged down Daytona Beach police officer Claudia Wright, who was in the store.
When Officer Wright confronted Beeland, she yelled at her.
When they came back in the store, Wright repeatedly asked her to calm down and threatened to arrest and TASER her if she didn't.
As the video shows, Beeland continued to back away as the officer moved closer.
Beeland was then TASED and arrested.
Beeland is charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a police officer without violence.
Police department policy states an officer can deploy his or her TASER "for the purpose of subduing a violent, noncompliant or combative subject."
Beeland's attorney is now investigating what legal action to take against the police department and officer.

Did she take any merchandise out of the store? If she did, it’s still a good case, for excessive force. If she did not, ooh baby, would I love to be the lawyer who got that case. I would not go less than $500k. I love it when fascists overreact.

Was “officer” Wright in the wrong? And was she IN A UNIFORM?

They’re claiming that she was being confronted for beng suspected of using a stolen credit card, but it turned out the CC was actually hers. No word if she reported it stolen though.

Oh goodie, another “judge the case without hearing the other side of the story” case for us to solve.
To: Defiant
According to the news video at the source, she was suspected of using a stolen credit card. It turned out she was using her own legitimate credit card. The taxpayers will most likely fork over some settlement money thanks to another inept cop.

The youtube post of the video is from a different News source than the actual article. It was the only video link that I could post. So there could be additional new information out there concerning credit cards or something.

Beeland's attorney is now investigating what legal action to take against the police department and officer.I'd sue the store-deeper pocket, easier to reach.

Female officers need to use Tasers responsibly. There. All fixed now.
