What would you have done to get her out of the car if you were in the cops position?

That's a rhetorical question, right?
I wouldn't mind tasing her myself.

Obviously she is not a Sifter...

Did she deserve to be tasered? Hmmm she was breaking the law, not obeying the police. Naaaa

That is why they have tasers/pepper spray, otherwise they use physical force.

You must be from California!

yes she deserved it.

She also should've watched: http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=5195

halfway through it and I want to taser her already

a wee bit brutal

Bitch supreme, but deserved to be tasered? No.

I like at the end where the cops are covering their asses after she asks why did you tazer me by saying "next time you want to take a swing at a police officer" then he has back track and say "no you didn't take a swing at me, you took a swing at him".. if you listen, she's still talking on her cellphone as he shots her with a tazer.

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"

All I know is that when a cop says "Get out of the car or I'm going to tase you" 3 times, I'm getting the fuck out of the car. Anyone who's too stupid to do the same...

So, does anybody know the resolution to this situation?

Cop #1 called for backup and waited until it arrived because he sensed that this situation was going to turn ugly in some way. He wanted to have both a physical partner and a witness present in of a he-said / she-said type court case. the woman did ask for his name and badge nunber, indicating she was going to try and make a big deal over any breach of conduct.

I am not a violent person, but if you flat out ignore the authority of the police then you get the consequences.

The way she was wailing was embarrassing. She *was* being a drama queen. Tasering hurts, but the effects do not linger that long do they?

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.

I love how he mentions they've experienced tasering as part of training, so they know how much pain she actually felt. Reminds me of a news clip featuring a journalist I met in person who also underwent a tasering to see what it's like. Oddly amusing to hear the other anecdotes; this was... different.

While the woman should have done what the officer asked, the officer went way over the line by escalating the situation with violence. She was being stopped for *TRAFFIC* violations. She did not steal, hurt, shoot, or anything from anyone. The officer was in *NO* danger, and he could have waited her out. Was she being a bitch? Yes. But the punishment for being a bitch isn't 30 thousands volts.

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.

"Was she being a bitch? Yes. But the punishment for being a bitch isn't 30 thousands volts." Apparently it is! ;-)

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!

According to the NAACP and victicrat party, blacks don't have to obey any laws because of...uh...slavery. This just in: PWNED.

q-shroom, that comment was over the line. Please be civil.

Tasers apparently can kill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpmpi1UJJaM&mode=related&search=

Not embedding, obviously, b/c of non-snuff policy.

Another interesting observation. Between when she is on the ground and is standing up there is about 2 1/2 minutes of video missing. What happened during that point? Who edited out those missing minutes? Hmm?

Krupo, I just watched that. They taser an epileptic in the chest. I guess they couldn't tell the difference between a seizure and stuggling against them.
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.

swampgirl:

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.

Yeah police should defend themselves, but that has NOTHING to do with someone running from the cops, or not presenting any danger to the officer, like in the above video.

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

I would have pistol whipped that fucking bitch

Cop was a wuss. There was no indication she was a physical threat. He was just pissed.

Great discussion here, despite the short comments from racist and/or retards (big overlap) like the guy 2 comments back.

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.

The moment he tasered her I was THANK GOD! Can someone explain why she was apparently in so much pain but having an orgasim at the same time?!?!

Hey robo-roby are you AKA robo puppy?

You know I want to fucking taze everyone who comments on these fucking taser videos who obviously has no idea what it feels like. I'd take the nightstick over the taser. I've been tased before multiple times on more than one occasion. It is no fucking laughing matter.

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.

Wow, Justinianrex. Wow. 1) Tasers do NOT hurt that bad. Yeah, it fucking hurts. It fucking hurts until they stop firing. Then the pain is IMMEDIATELY gone. You'd rather have (possibly) broken bones or be sore for the nest two weeks? Whatever, dude. 2)Don't talk about pain until you've been sprayed with O.C. or some shit that actually has lasting pain. Ever felt like your face was on fire for two and a half hours? Yeah, didn't think so.

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.

I strongly doubt they're making it up with her hitting him. He asked her to get out of the car more than once, he reaches in to remove her from the car, and it's impossible for us to see whether or not she hit him at that instant. My guess is that yes, she did hit him, because he pulls his arm away from her and THEN draws the taser. It's quite obvious that going to the taser was NOT his first action, he did it after trying both verbal commands and removing her from the car physically.

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.

Ya, I don't know, she showed no respect for his requests and was mouthing off the whole time, just like a spoiled brat. I don't know if Tazing her was the right response; but what would she have done if he had to physicly remove her from the car?
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...
