Its time to remove the Taser from the police arsenal, and give them training in application of common sense.
Since they had full identification of their victim, there was no reason to “arrest” her. All they had to do was photograph her for proof of identity and mail the citation to her home.
Anything beyond the above is insane.
As least they did not shoot her. At one time, the officer explained that signing a citation was not an admission of guilt, but,was just saying that they would appear in court. I suppose like everything else, that is gone with the wind. One now only must obey the master’s command without questioning.
Ok, three less dumbasses in the field of law enforcement.
Getting someone to sign the ticket is just not worth fighting over. Write “refused”, advise them it is now a mandatory court date, give them their copy and end the stop.
Kicking ass at all costs is just crushing this field.

This case is just another one representing the true role of
government in out lives....government is force, plain, simple naked force. Government will KILL you for jaywalking. If you refuse to comply with an order or a law,
doesn’t matter how small, stupid, insignificant or asinine the law or command is if you refuse to comply any and all force up to and including the use of deadly force will be
brought to bear by the state and it’s agents.
The taser was advertised by the vendor and purchased by LEO
under the promise that it was a less lethal alternative to
firearms giving officers a tool one step below shooting a person. That statement was a lie, only a fool would believe
it. Tazers have become merely modern day electronic whips
and LEO have become modern day plantation foremen who use
these “whips” to whip the slaves....You and Me....back in to
line.
The three men assessed the situation and conferred. “Well, don’t do it in her stomach,” one said. “Do it in her thigh.”
A classic example of why police should not be allowed to carry tasers, since out of the three of them, including a sergeant, none of them understand the basics of electricity.
the irony of all of this is that they’ve done away with the requirement to sign the friggin citation.
The usual mindless crap from a nutty entitled minority. I would have complied (signed) and this drag on civilization should have done the same. But because she has limited intelligence the rest of us have to pick up the tab (thousands or a million?) for her showboating
Another step towards Idiocracy
“The three men assessed the situation and conferred. “Well, don’t do it in her stomach,” one said. “Do it in her thigh.” “
Of course, it’s not as though man is an excellent conductor of electricity, and no matter where the woman is tased, the electricity will flow through her entire body—and the child’s body—indiscriminately.
