She didn't enjoy the protection of the Good Old Boys Network.

At that point he could not have harmed her or anyone else. If any of the officers thought he had a weapon, they could have held him down before he recovered from being tasered and searched him. There was no need to shoot him.

(906 posts)6. No surprise...female cop..charges brought in 2 days
If it had been a male cop, it'd be 5 years of investigations.
