This is in close running for my new sig.
What about her hurting
HERSELF with the weapons she was wielding?
I think the action was justified in this circumstance, and am thankful that the good people at Taser Inc. created a less-than-lethal alternative to the police.
The media would have grabbed onto this anyway. Crazy + violent + wheelchair = evening news. I would have liked to see a 275 pound cop cold-cock her in the jaw. Imagine the fall-out from that?
Cops defence: "I didn't feel safe Tasering her, because that might kill her. So I just threw my weight into the punch and broke her jaw. Hey, it got the job done..."
How many Taser deaths are associated with huge quantities of drugs running through the "Victim's" bloodstream? Meth, PCP, Steroids. I would like to see those numbers.
And for me to be ENTIRELY POLITICALLY INCORRECT: Spoiler:
How many law enforcement officers using Tasers have been 95 pound females? These competent, intelligent, seasoned officers MUST escalate their level of force when confronted in a physical situation. A 275 pound man can walk into violence and not resort to pepper spray, Tasers or a baton. He wades in and gets the job done. The Woman has to reach for her Batman utility belt when someone sneezes.
