I wouldn't mind tasing her myself.

That is why they have tasers/pepper spray, otherwise they use physical force.
You must be from California!
I'm sorry, we've given these cops weapons which they think are non-lethal, therfore they can use them whenever they want. Sorry, but mace, tazers, rubber bullets, bean bag shotguns.. All can be lethal and often cause permanent damage. It's the technology solution which we really value and worship technology.
There was no reason to even use force here. She wasn't violent, and he never explained anything to her, just started demanding she get out of the car. He's a big pussy, you can see the moment she talks backs to him and disrespects his white male authority he calls for backup and just stalls with B.S. until the backup arrives, then he immediately walks up and says get out, sticks a gun at her face.
Listen at 2:44, the other officer comes up and was probably like, what's the emergency. And you hear Officer Tazer say, "yeah I'm good, she just has an attitude"
I am not a violent person, but if you flat out ignore the authority of the police then you get the consequences.
Highway patrolmen have a very dangerous, very underpaid job. Does that give them to right to wail on innocent citizens? No. They do deserve though to protect themselves while they perform their jobs. Was this lady dangerous? Probably not, but she was resisting arrest and that gave him the right to subdue her and make her compliant. He did so, with minimal risk of permanent injury or death.
How else are police to arrest people breaking the law??? I'm trying to imagine if it were one of my children as an adult being arrested. I'd pick a taser gun or pepper spray any day over a clubbing or bullet in the leg or arm.
You might be smart enough to realize when an officer orders you to do something, you fucking do it. However, most people have very little experience with authority, and just because they don't jump to a police officers orders doesn't automatically make the use of force legitimate. If this were a different situation, where she was stopped for something more serious, or was physically resisting, fine. She was incredibly stupid, but the officer was being a bully. Those we entrust with such power should be those we can trust not to abuse it.
I see where you're coming from, but she was resisting arrest. Multiple violations plus an attitude got her arrested. She refused to get out of the car. There's no telling if she had a weapon or not. That's why he doesn't reach in and grab her, he waits for backup before ordering her out again. He was protecting both of them actually.
He represents the law. Her refusing to obey an officer in fact does make her dangerous. He was forced to taser her and restrain her on the ground to get her in the squad car because she didn't respect the law.
"and just because they don't jump to a police officers orders doesn't automatically make the use of force legitimate."
actually, it does. She was being arrested and resisted. The police have the right to use resonable force to make her comply.
One more thing.. come on folks. I hope no one is actually upset over this vid.....we all clicked to see her get tasered tho am I right? (j/k!) ;-) Forgot to upvote!
Tasers apparently can kill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpmpi1UJJaM&mode=related&search=
Not embedding, obviously, b/c of non-snuff policy.
What I didn't understand is why they waited minutes before performing CPR? By the time they started chest compressions, it was too late.
If it's true that his wife told them of his medical condition when he was being arrested..then these policemen should be procecuted for using it on him while he was seizing like that.
This still doesn't change my position though. Ultimately in the field, a policemen must be able to protect themselves and tasering is safer than shooting someone.
I agree police have to protect themselves. They are in a very dangerous line of work.
That said, non-compliance doesn't imply dangerous. For example, say in public someone on the street gets in your way and starts harassing you. They might be very scary looking, and you might be afraid they could hurt you. However, unless they actually threaten you or try to physically harm you, if you were to hit them you'd be charged with assault, and if you used a taser, add a weapons charge too.
Police, on the other hand, get to assume someone is 'dangerous' enough to use physical force, just because they didn't follow their orders. Why do police get this extra ability to 'protect' themselves? There are many people who have significally more dangerous jobs dealing with the public, such as taxi drivers, and they don't get anywhere near that privledge.
In terms of the officers 'right' to use physical force cause she didn't do what they said, well, what the police had done might technically have been legal, but that doesn't make it appropriate. In a situation where the person poses no threat, perceived or otherwise, using force needlessly escalates a situation that could have easily been brought to a close peacefully.
Let me make clear that there are clearly times police need to use force. If she were stopped for a more serious crime, such as burglary, the police officer could assume she was dangerous. If she had physically resisted the officer, then fine. She was stopped for a traffic violation. She didn't physically resist the officer. The officer had no reason to suspect she was any more danger than your average person walking down the street. While I the officer shouldn't have to wrestle with her, since the situation was calm and there was no danger, there was no reason not to be patient.
How dare any of you defend using less-lethal weapons on citizens. You should be in a situation you would use a gun in. http://tinyurl.com/mdkcw

Woman in wheelchair wielding a knife, tased to death by FL officers

I'm all for appropriate force. In this case, I agree that the bottom line is that this very unlikeable woman did not pose a threat worthy of tasering. It was anger and impatience that won out here. These guys are paid to be skilled at de-escalating situations and objectively resisting letting their emotions determine their treatment of citizens, not matter how despicable the behavior of the citizen may be.
At one level it was satisfying to see an idiot get hers. But more importantly, these cops were unprofessional, I beleive.
Imagine the maximum amount of pain your body can feel. Then imagine that pain somehow worsening. That's tasering. Police would never use a nightstick with the impunity that they use tasers. Noncompliance is not a sufficient reason to use a tool like this. I try to remind myself that some people become cops because they want to help people and not because they're looking for a megalomaniacal outlet for their sadistic impulses after they graduate from high school bullying. It's not easy.
That being said, He had every right to tase her. Yes, non-compliance does equal dangerous. For all he knows, there is a knife or gun in the car.
And she's a bitch. He tased her once and she screamed for an hour. The pain is gone as soon as the taser shuts off. Tasers are not violent, sammax unless they are used with malice. They are a compliance tool.
The simple fact of the matter is that no matter what tools police have, people will always bitch about them, even if the use is totally justified. I don't think the ACLU will be happy until the police start dealing with criminals by dumping a box of kittens in the car or throwing teddy bears at them.
Lucky: the answer is yes.
My opinion? Bitch deserved it. Also, the way she whines and screams at the end reminds me of my 12 year old sister's temper tantrums. She sounds JUST LIKE THAT.
He was treating her fairly and with a level of respect from the start and she started getting all superior on him for no reason. I dunno...
