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.

“That penalty is imposed often, and usually not by the police.”

No lately its pretty much the police.

He could have chased her down. Tasers are becoming the “ easy “ way to take a person down. How did she get away from him? Just my opinion but i think he used it because he was too obese to do his job properly.

If the cop had tackled her he wouldn’t have stuck his locality with the hundreds of thousands of dollars

With lib bleeding hearts like you, there would be a lawsuit no matter what the cop did. If the low life tramp had hit my car and run, , I would have been the one that got tazed.That would have been the only way to stop me from beating her to a pulp when I caught up with her in her stolen car

Surprised how many liberal name callers there are on FR now days.You don’t have a leg to stand on , on this one. She wasn’t tasered to death number one. She knocked herself senseless running for the third time. She had two hit and runs in a stolen car and was attempting to run after being arrested. I hope her death is painful. If I had been one of the people she hit, I guarantee it would have been when I caught her

If she’d hit my car and run, she most definitely would have been beat to a pulp when I caught her a block away

Go and actually read the story. The cop showed remarkable restraint. I wouldn’t have been so tender if I’d been one of her hit and run victims when I caught her

I call it poetic justice.

I'll bet that's what Jesus would call it too.

This cop literally never even left a TROT, he didn’t even TRY to make an effort to catch her.

I beg to differ. He did catch her. She flopped her drug addled head into the concrete after being caught a second time. You can shed all the crocodile tears in the world for this perp if you like. What he did was tame compared to what I would have done if it had been me she hit and ran from. I would have probably been tazed to get me off her

After viewing the video, seeing the size differential, noting that the woman was handcuffed and reading what little information there is in the article, I'm inclined to give the officer a little less latitude than you. The risk of her actually escaping would seem to be small. No question the woman made some poor decisions that ended in her losing her life. Perhaps she was under the influence of something. I think the officer could also have made a better decision. I can't say he was responsible for her death. I would say perhaps her death could have been avoided if he had responded differently. Having a head caved in on the pavement is something I would like to see for more heinous crimes than what she is apparently guilty of.

“I call it poetic justice.”

“I’ll bet that’s what Jesus would call it too.”

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s” commands people to respect state authority, disobedience to them equates to disobedience to God.

Sinners were only forgiven if they repented.
