53. like they have done decades in the past.... pick her up and put her in
they didn't always have tasers yet still they were able to handle these situations. all of a sudden, we have tasers, and there is NO other recourse but to zap them. that is stupid thinking and allowing police to abuse, which in turns create dissent from the people, which create less support for cops not to mention loss of respect, which make cops angry and more abusive to control population. treat us like animals, criminals and that is what we become. if that cop had handle the girl in a mature manner, an arrest would not have been necessary and th subsequenct actions.

firstly

secondly the cops are using "punching" things an awful lot as an excuse to zap people. you cant figure out how cuffed she can do it, but you buy it and dont question it. rollin eyes. these tasers take life. last resort does not result with death in things. death for vandalism is NOT good enough for me. and we have seen tasers kill.

joanne posted a thread where a man is held in airport for ten hours. he is frustrated. he is punishing things. ot hard enough to break window or computer, so not big deal "punching" things, but big enough for the cop to use as excuse to taser. he dies.

so totally not a way to handle the situation. our cops going to deal with these issue and given power of life and death they had better damn well be taught how to deal with them. this is not the way
