The moment handcuffed woman, 20, was left brain dead after being Tasered for trying to escape police

A 20-year-old woman has been left brain dead - after she was Tasered by police and smacked her head on the ground. Danielle Maudsley had been taken to a Florida Highway Patrol Station after being arrested for a suspected hit-and-run in September. Handcuffed, she ran out of the door.

But as footage from a police cruiser dashboard camera reveals, Trooper Daniel Cole, who this week was cleared of any wrongdoing, fired a Taser's electric probes into her back.

She spun, fell backwards and hit her head on the ground. Bleeding and crying she tried to get up. She then blacked out and has remained unconscious ever since.

If he had chased her down and tackled her, and she hit her head, I’d be with the argument you are trying to make

Be careful what you wish for...

Due process involves cooperating with the system, not making your own rules. She was getting due process when she decided to play by her own rules.

“Except you are overlooking a little detail we call “due process”.”

The same ‘due process’ that you are giving to the police officer. He was cleared.

I’m just a citizen. There is no due process required for me to form an opinion. That is because I don’t have a monopoly on the use of force like the State does.

Lately it seems like the new penalty for leaving the scene of an accident or mouthing off to the cops is death.

LOL, yeah, being a moron certainly leaves the door wide open for Mr. Darwin to do his dirty work.

a 5 foot nothing Hispanic female, almost as wide as she is tall, waddling around in a police uniform. Must really strike fear into the hearts of the criminals when she yells, “halt this is the police.”

I don't know about criminals.......but be the one buying the last eclair at Dunkin Donuts and hear that shouted behind you.

Or worse, be the family mutt chained to the porch of 'the wrong house.'

Tazers were presented to us as a less lethal alternative to using a firearm. Nowadays they are used anytime a cop doesn’t want to chase after or wrestle with someone. Bait and switch.

I tried to find it. You can do a tin-eye search on the image and find one result, a site called Angry Duck. This appears to be a pretty random collection of video.

On the other paw, it is what it is.

Use of tasers on handcuffed people should be a criminal act.

The poor young girl in this video couldn't even break her fall with her hands because she was in handcuffs. What this cop did was akin to shooting her in the back with his gun. She presented no risk to him or to others.

Excellent observation and post. I'd like to see the departmental regulations on use of the Taser.

What I posted is not crap. It is your over-sensitive opinion that is crap. Did you even read the article? Did you?

this was far from an individual having a diabetic reaction. This was a punk with complete disregard for society and the safety of innocent people.

I used to be a patrol officer. Believe me, LEOs go through plenty of first aid and first responder training to understand the difference between a handcuffed criminal attempting to escape and an individual struggling with a diabetic reaction.

Life’s hard. it’s even harder when you’re stupid as this idiot found out the hard way. As for you, grow up and open your eyes. Your attitude and comments are insulting to hard working law enforcement officers everywhere.

Please don’t post anymore crap like your naive and ignorant opinion.

Has nothing to do with what she was arrested for. People can't be allowed to just run from an arrest.

just wow...i surely hope you remember that attitude when its your turn...everyone, everyday, breaks some kind of manmade *law* and according to you, we should all just peacefully climb into the cattle car...

Dayum.

Whatever she did wrong - to get tazed - I bet she don’t do it again.

“I figured anyone with better than a 6th grade education would have been able to understand the humor in that post.”

Yeah.

My bad.

I forgot about thug humor.

And that ‘6th grade’ level of intellectual and social development is probably standard in your demographic cohort.
