Soon they'll start tasering kids for not tying shoes properly. I'm not surprised if so many cops get killed since this is the way they treat citizen.

Are you serious?

It comes down to this some of you approve of torture being used against those who don't comply and some of us don't. For those that do though, your tacit approval opens up a whole can of worms, which I hope the majority would completely object to.

Torture? She brought the torture on herself by resisting. She could have signed her ticket and had her chance to present her case in court. It's not like the cop tased her as soon as he pulled her over without saying a word. You notice in the video how she never showed up for her scheduled interview once the media got a hold of the tape? Because she knew she was wrong in how she acted. I want to know if she really thought the cop was gonna let her out of the ticket after all the shit she pulled. The truth is if this were some punk ass 18 year old kid, no one would care. But since it's some old cunt looking for sympathy you guys are quick to defend her.

virtuoso:

That is simply not true, it doesn't matter if she was in the wrong, if she swore at him repeatedly it doesn't give up or any other cop the right to torture someone. The only reason why people wouldn't react with such gusto if the victim was some teenager is because it happens so frequently that to a certain extent, it's no longer shocking. However administering torture to someone who is old and as a result even more of a defenseless target is the act of a coward and a low life. There was no actual need for him to respond to her wrong by tasing her, so he simply did it for kicks while he was on his power trip. Therefore when cops are routinely spitting in the faces of the laws they are meant to uphold and the police departments are playing the part of gang bangers who hear no evil and see no evil when it comes to their own, the response from lots of people is to show contempt towards cops and then cops wonder why they aren't respected. It is unfortunate because it tars all cops with the same stain on their name but when it is institutional, you reap what you sew.

Yes virtuoso I completely agree with you about cops and their power trips. But not in this case. She didn't get tased for swearing at him. She got tased for resisting arrest. Watch her pull her hand away as the cop was gonna put the cuffs on her. Now if you want to talk about The University of Florida kid that was tased for bullshit, I agree with you
