I have no sympathy for this woman. The cops were there for a reason obviously. I do however take strong issue with the way cops use a Taser to compel compliance. Tasers were never meant to be used this way by police. When police departments were first considering Tasers in the early 90s they promised the people that taser would only be used in situation where an officer would have to draw a weapon. This was supposed to reduce police shootings, and no doubt it has. But compliance Tasing has crept into policing and it's as extremely dangerous trend for many reasons. Police departments need to make clear policy that compliance tasing that would not otherwise result in an officer using a firearm (as in this instance) will not be allowed or tolerated.
She clearly wasn't a threat and seemed to be complying but that has never stopped cops in the past.
She should have blown that assholes head off.
They don't have guns in the communist city of Springfield, MA.
The bitch deserved it!
Wendy?
