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.

She was “running” in handcuffs, with a cop who literally had less than 3 feet to cover to grab her and opted to taze her instead. You can see him never even got going beyond a trot before he tazed her. Literally if he had just tried to run he could have easily grabbed her, he didn’t even bother trying.
Fat, lazy ass killed this woman.. I know he didn’t intend to, but that’s what he did. Manslaughter as far as I’m concerned.
At least the subset of the public that wears brown shirts.
Bull.. all this lazy fat ass had to do was to actually do more than a fast walk, and try to run and he could have grabbed her. Tazing was not the proper response here, firing lazy, fat ass cops is.
The objective truth is she died as a result of the actions of a fat cop.
Not all LEOs. THIS LEO.
Like I said.... you have no idea what goes on in real life.
You sure make a lot of assumptions, pal. You have no idea what I have experienced.
yes, she chose to run, but the cops actions directly led to her injur
Her actions led directly to her demise. I hope it was painful, but doubt that it was
SEMINOLE — One morning last week, the Florida Highway Patrol learned that a young woman had been involved in two hit-and-run crashes in less than an hour.
The woman had rear-ended two cars and fled both scenes. FHP Trooper Daniel Cole was sent to investigate.
she had cocaine and oxycodone in her system, the report states

It didn’t take him long to find a suspect: 20-year-old Danielle Maudsley. The other drivers, who were not injured, took down Maudsley’s tag number and gave a description of her to the trooper.
He found her at a Seminole address listed on the vehicle’s registration.
Maudsley was cuffed and taken to the FHP substation in Pinellas Park.
Records show Maudsley has never had a driver’s license in Florida.
Maudsley’s mother, Cheryl Maudsley, who has a criminal record that includes charges of drug possession and theft
The car Maudsley was driving that day, a 2008 Chevy Malibu, belonged to Doris Garrison.
“I didn’t give her permission to take my car,” said Garrison, 70, who has been in Illinois most of the summer caring for her grandchildren. “She stole it.”
This is exactly the point. Cops increasingly use tazers as a FIRST resort, in order to avoid grappling with somebody and maybe getting their pants ripped.
Man! You were just jonesing for boot polish this morning, weren’t you!
I must say, you do seem to have developed the key survival skills necessary under socialism, so you’re ahead of the curve that way.
You could run seminars on compliance. Most Americans need training in this key attitude toward state authority.
He should have blown her head off with his sidearm.I could be wrong, but I think shooting suspects in the back leads to a murder charges.
Not if your are police; our betters are naturally immune.
I, for one, welcome our new Police Overlords /.
“Fat, lazy ass killed this woman”
I’m sure the cocaine that she and her ‘mother’ were doing didn’t have anything to do with it. /s That is after she stole her ex-boyfriend’s mother’s car and did two hit and runs before being arrested.
This was not a violent felon evading a felony arrest
Hit and run is not a violent crime? What if they just hit you with a 2x4 instead of a 2 thousand pound vehicle and run?
We will criticize fat lazy pigs because we aren’t their subjects. They aren’t gods allowed to do anything they want. If we wait for cops to call out their own trash, cops will sprout wings and fly first.
You live into a warped world of judge dredd. We don’t need or want street judges. We want cops with balls, fit enough to do their jobs, integrity to know what is right and wrong and then act on that, and a little common sense.
Maybe if them pigs value the life of your loved one some little, you’ll wake up.
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.
I hope this case receives national coverage and leads to needed reforms and a few heads rolling at that department.
There’s at least as much chance of something like this happening from being tackled (which would have been how he subdued her if he’d given chase) as tased. Freak accidents happen.
Sorry. I lost the sarc tag with that post. I figured anyone with better than a 6th grade education would have been able to understand the humor in that post.
But I didn’t figure you’d show up.
So sorry.
The objective truth is that if she had acted responsibly and not tried to escape custody she would be bonded out and getting her next fix by now.
I could be wrong, but I think shooting suspects in the back leads to a murder charges.
Yeah that’s true. Giving her the beating she deserved would have looked bad on the video too. I guess he took his best option in tazing her. Look on the bright side though, she won’t be killing anyone on the road on her next little adventure of driving impaired
