“Manslaughter as far as I’m concerned.”

Heck, I agree with you.

But, the officer may be able to hide behind departmental policy on tasers.

And most departments have terrible policies, which allow their officers to use tasers to force citizens to ‘comply’.

They are weapons, plain and simple. Their use should be restricted to situations involving officer safety.

Yes, they will make sure he won’t face a criminal trial, but he’s going to face civil trial and lose, as will their district. A tazer is a weapon, pure and simple. If this guy had grabbed his billy club and started beating this woman everyone would agree he abused his power, but because he used a tazer instead its ok? Rediculous.

This guy didn’t even bother trying. He never even left a trot, just a little effort he would have easily had an arm on this gal, and I hope at 267 lbs could have subdued the little 100lber, given she was already in handcuffs, but nope..

This guy and his district need to be fiscally ruined, and fat ass lazy cops need to be fired.
