Or shoplifts cough medicine and gets high at school...

Tasers are an alternative to baton, OC, tackling, striking or otherwise going hands-on with prejudice. If the situation doesn't call for any of those, then it doesn't call for a taser. That chick? She needed to be tackled, therefore tasing was appropriate as an alternative to it.

Well done staying vertical. Should have said; "That all you got?"

Right after "observe this and you will see you were..." the video started buffering some more and I got a freeze frame with all black and a vh1 logo. Cancelled it. Did I narrowly avert a rick-rolling?

I agree. This is why i'm working hard to get a sense of responsibility and consequences into his head now so he has some kind of guidance to fall back on when someone hands him a joint or something like that.

For sexual predators, yes. The risk of recidivism is too high and the impact of the crime is too high. They should be rendered permanently incapable of further crime. Either life in jail, castration/amputation or death. Give them the choice.

Did he smell a bit?

She was putting herself in danger, and other people - The report states that she was high on drugs and running towards a busy road. If he did not stop her and she ran into traffic then he'd be in trouble. The taser allow an officer to effect an arrest when the only other option is goign hands-on and risking injury to the officer. It should be accepted that this officer has no correct options open to him. It's the "Old Man, his Son and the Donkey" Aesop's fable in real life. No matter what he did there will always be someone who says he did it wrong.

So you're not saying she shouldn't been stopped, just that you the taser is the wrong tool? A valid opinion. Much more so than those who think it was excessive ONLY because it ended badly. I personally extend the police much more leeway in keeping themselves safe in situations where the tasee acted in a manner that requires the officer to go hands-on so i'm of the opinion that the taser is better than a fistfight.

He weighed 3x what she did. If he tackled her to the ground and she still hit her head then people would criticize him for that instead. Even if she would up with lighter injuries such as broken bones etc then he'd people would scream "brutality" just the same. Those injuries are much more likely. He testified that she was outrunning him for we can tell how much closer he is at the police station door, so we hangs to take his word on that. I don't agree that she was in reaching distance.

"She" spelled it wrong.

What should the officer have done differently?

What did you expect when you pay by the hour?

Did the perp kick up a stink about it?

Always wondered why someone being tazed didn't bathroom in their pants. I guess it can happen...

Wait, is "Roast Beef" a euphamism for "hand"?

Don't leave feedback until you know the condition of the engine. If you neg him for taking a week to ship then you can't neg him if the engine is crap. If the engine is good I'd give him a neutrl saying shipping was slow and communication could have been better.

My thoughts, randomly... Should he have used a taser - was there a safer option available? - Hitting her head was not intentional - Any other method he chooses to stop her running (tackling her, baton or something like that) is just as likely to make he hit hear head - She was high on drugs, so allowing her to run towards the main road would be more dangerous. - I believe hitting her head was a freak accident brought on by the officer stopping her running. Just as likely regardless of how he stops her. Was it that important to stop her? - She was a hit/run suspect high on drugs escaping from a police station. I believe the officer had the rigth to stop her escape. - The fact that she was cuffed is troubling on the face of it, but she had slipped the cuffs to the front so she could run faster. All in all... The officer has a duty to stop her fleeing arrest, and she force him into a situation where he had to stop her. His chosen method was effective and generaly considered to be safe - however resulted in a freak accident. Most telling to me... If she had not hit her head then this would be just another taser deployment. The officer can't blamed for a freak accident. Difficult situation, but it was all the girl's doing. He series of actions (taking drugs, driving, crashing, running, slipping the cuffs and fleeing the police) were the ultimate cause of her demise.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rgMcbA03_o The little bit of background I got was that she was a 2x hit/run suspect with oxycodone and cocaine in her system. She was arrested and She started the remove the cuffs and ran. She was tased in the back, but as she fell she turned and hit her head. She is now braindead. Thoughts? EDIT: I just saw the date was from 2011... BUt CNN is reporting this today? Must be a change in status about something...

Slightly. The 'N' was guessed by a guy but there are 3 female competitors in the wide shot of the next spin.
