IMO, thats a case where the tazer was warranted and properly administered.

Unless one is threating officer the tazer should never be used!

Even if the person is a jerk!

They are not robbers, rapist, or murders, it a traffic violation for goodness sake!

I don’t know who this new breed of officers are but it is not the America I grew up in and two wrongs don’t make a right.

"IMO, thats a case where the tazer was warranted and properly administered."

You might be right... but, I'd like to see some more of that tape. This case IS different, for two reasons...

1) The woman was driving with a suspended license... that's a real problem, and

2) The officer did at least warn the woman that she was about to be tazed.

Still though... he seems awfully excited... I'd like to see what transpired before this to get him so worked up.

The situation needs to be pretty damn serious for a tazer to get employed... I have to believe that TWO male officers could have found a way to make this woman comply without shocking her. They strike me as just lazy, and choosing the "easy way".
