It has become a bit too common for LEO’s to taser those that don’t obey their every command, even those that are not under arrest. Sort of like training a dog. What started out as a non-lethal alternative to using their firearm has become a way to keep their uniform clean. Start hitting their employer in the wallet and I think we’ll see this trend subside.
Which immediately begged the questions...
So why was she tazered if she didn't use force?
A- “she argued with the cop”
So...what was she being arrested for that caused her to “
resist arrest without violence”?
A- “There were no other charges”
So...um...if she wasn't in the process of being arrested for a crime...um...why should she resist an event that wasn't happening in the first place?
A- “That's what we were wondering too”
So she was tazered for disagreement...without violence...and arrested for resisting arrest...an arrest that wasn't happening.
I had to clarify that with him and I still don't get it...
Arrested for resisting arrest...doesn't there have to be an original crime for which she was being charged and arrested? According to THAT scenario...anyone can be arrested for resisting arrest at any time with no cause...not original crime..
My head is gonna explode.
