I wouldn't exactly call it excessive force. I would call it the officer who tazed her is a pussy. He probably got beat up by all the girls in highschool so he became a cop so he could boss people around.

The taser is the first choice before physical contact. Officer was only following policy and what the libtards wanted - no more broken bones or scrapes on the perp now by a good tackle or swipe with the hippy stick!

He's no pussy, he's doing what was demanded and asked of him. He did his job by the book.

I can guarantee if he tackled her or grabbed her and she busted her skull the libtard would be up in arms on "why didn't he use his taserOMGBBQ!"

Fact remains - you run from police, you have a high chance of severe injury or even death. Choose wisely or suffer consequences of stupid decisions.

It's not the punishment for it, it's the CONSEQUENCES of doing something stupid that may lead to your death or severe maming like any of the following. Don't do these if you want to live or not be severely injured, if you do the likelyhood of severe injury or death is highly likely

1) Point weapon at cop, or not obey orders to drop weapon
2) Run from cops
3) Disobey order to STOP whatever the hell it is your doing
4) Not getting on the ground when ordered to do so
5) Trying to run over cop
6) Trying to kill cop
7) Running from cops after already arrested
8) Trying to kill cop while inside their car or custody

It is really just that simple. Darwin has another nominee in this lady, she deserved every consequence of her stupid actions. Every bit of it, it's called consequences of your actions - a simple concept to adults. I could just picture the pressure build up in her brain from the hit and especially liked how she was still coherent, only to drift off while still semi-conscious, her body now paralized and brain going severely damaged from pressure and lack of oxygen/bloodflow. Yet her cortex was likely still functioning for a few minutes as she lay there, pupils unresponsive, and her last thoughts were probably "I wish I had not have done something so stupid"

They should study you cold. Maybe they can figure out exactly what wires got crossed or what drugs you did/do and use that to help people in the future.

Not by the book that his department goes by which states:
"Fleeing cannot be the sole reason for the deployment."

Sorry, he is a pussy.

Once in custody all that changes and under arrest. You have no point and use of force was justified.

Sure, I could go with that. I know a few cops/troopers that that way. Short man syndrome, nerd/bully, etc. However, I know a few friends who happen to be cops and one that will become one shortly - they aren't that type but rather are laid back and not pricks to people. Meh, I think people don't realize how difficult a cop's job is at times. Action or no-action - people like to whine about them.

What? Once the person is in custody, the cops can do anything? Why not use a gun then?

Then please explain how this justifiable and appropriate use of force was not.

There's a big difference between being detained and not under arrest.

Actually, she could have ended up in a coma if the cop had chased her, tripped, and ended up tackling her to the ground thus hitting her head. Same result. Just cause a taser was used here doesn't mean that was the problem, nor should it be fixated upon.

The real problem was a lazy fat ass of a cop who didn't properly keep his suspect detained in the first place. She was running while handcuffed. The cop had caught her at one point and failed to prevent her from running despite use of hand cuffs. Idiot.

But at the same time, I have a hard time feeling pity for this woman. She was the one that decided to run once cuffed. Unless it comes to light that the cop was tying to do something illegal to her, such as "cop" a feel while he had her cuffed then she has zero reason to be running.

No here's a cop thread where I essentially agree with you. I doubt the cop was trying to injury her with this taser, and he probably assumed it was his best way of not hurting her - not a terrible assumption really. A big guy like him chasing her down, pushing her/falling on her/whatever could have easily done more damage than what the taser would do in his mind. Unfortunately, she was cuffed and fell poorly. A girl with a history of grand theft and currently having oxycodone/cocaine (sure, she may have been down) in her system sprinting toward a highway? That could have been just as unsafe and injured a number of innocent people. A real tragedy here, I don't think she deserved this; but I don't think the officer is guilty of any police brutality or the event drawing any of the "police state" comments.

The lazy fat cop was literally 3 feet behind her when he tazed. An arms reach away. Just plain sad that this is what is justified as police work now. Congrats to the cop for ruining a girls life, u da man.

We can only hope he feels so much remorse that he spend the rest of his life drinking away his sorrow. Hopefully some grieving parents can sink it in a bit more.

And I commend him for a job well done.

The perp chose this path, not the cop.

Bad accident for sure, but she chose her path and the last firing of her cortex as it was dying was. "imma dumb motherfucker, why did I do this?"

Rest in piece dummmy. Consequences? How do they work?

I know a bunch of those guys, they are my friends. The only issue I ever have with them, and its really just friendly debate because they are my friends, is the "blue line" bullshit. Otherwise they are outstanding cops who do a damn hard job to the best of their abilities.

Doesn't stop me from calling something I disagree with out though.

Taser is deadly force, plain and simple.

It should only be used in cases where you'd draw your firearm to control a threatening situation.

To take what appears to be joy in the death of a person that didn't need to die, regardless of whose fault it is, I pity you. I truly pity you, what a horrible existence you must lead if this event brings you that much joy.

I can't view the video clip at work but some of the responses are quite astounding.

A women is practically dead and the only thing some people have to say is "serves her right for running away".

Just fvcking ban them. Being "non-lethal" drastically lowers the psychological barrier to use deadly force even if the situation is unjustified. For things truly life-and-death there are always good ol' bullets.

I've taken lsd, shrooms, mdma, coke, meth, pot and others in the past and I'm nothing like spidey. It must be genetic or in the water.

But did you take it while listening to rush and cleaning your guns?

No it isn't, and no it shouldn't. I'm not a fan of the excessive usage of tasers by any means, I definitely think they're being over-utilized on the whole; however, equating it to deadly force is silly.
