Tasered mom: ‘I posed no threat’

http://www.prisonplanet.com/mom-in-m...de-arrest.html To Borrow A line from President Obama, this is yet another example of police "acting stupidly".

I used to live in Onondaga County and the county cops are a bunch of wannabe badasses, most of them are just like this dickwad, but there are a few good cops, but the majority of the department is a bunch of rotten apples. Whats even worse are the local town clowns in Clay and Cicero, they all think they work in the west side precinct, but truth this they wouldn't last on the west side for 5 minutes. Had he pulled this shit down off SHonard Street (WS) He would have been jumped by the whole neighborhood. The cop is still on Admin duty and the investigation is still ongoing, the driver filed a multi million dollar lawsuit, and all charges were dropped by the DA, but the driver is still suing.

As well she should. I realize that Police officers have a very tough, stressfull. job. However that does not give them a liscense to terrorize people. I wonder what's the cieling on this epidemic. What will it takes for gov't officials, the Attorney general Eric Holder maybe, to admit that there is indeed a problem with this sort of thing and then to launch an investigation into this crap.

You can see from the video that the cop is clearly confused and really has no business wearing that uniform. He's telling her to get back in the car, then get out of the car, and when he fires the tazer he don't look properly trained to handle that weapon in the slightest. Disgusting and unprofessional. He did it in front of her kids too, what an asshole.

He did it in front of her kids too, what an asshole. That's the worst part... Obviously the cop was wrong, but seeing as how the video doesn't have audio and just judging by the way the woman was moving....I think she was talking shit the whole time. So I think this is a case of both her and the cop trying to be Billy Badass...

Note to self: Actually keeping my speed at 45 in a 45 zone will result in not getting tasered. Shouldn't be too hard.

(being sarcastic here) I wasn't even aware that was a crime. These guys are supposed to serve and protect us and of course you should heed an officer's commands but where in any state law or code does it say that you have to kiss their asses?

Nothing says you have to kiss ass. But going out of your way to run your yap at the guy with the fucking gun is just plain stupid. I have zero pity for idiots that do that. At some point, the will to go on living should take priority over the urge to flap one's gums.

Note to self: Actually keeping my speed at 45 in a 45 zone will result in not getting tasered. Shouldn't be too hard. There's a legal term called an appropriate response. For example: If you are threatened by someone who wants to fight you you and you pull out a knife or a gun and use it on them your going to jail. I don't think any rational person would call this an appropriate response and if that trooper couldn't handle a woman during a routine traffic stop he should have his badge and gun taken away permanently.

Again, common sense. Don't break the traffic laws, you won't have to worry about it. Why exactly is that too simple for people to comprehend? I guess it's easier to disregard the rules, then just complain if we get fucked up in the process.

If someone comes home and finds their wife in bed with another man and he kills them both we'd all understand why. She shouldn't have been screwing around, yes that's common sense but he's wrong as well and will be spending the rest of his life in jail.

Him refusing until court is bogus and just a cover up to show he fucked up especially when she offered him to check her cell phone and he refused.

They're both a couple of dumb shits. She is stupid for getting out of her car and arguing with an idiot. If a cop tells you to either get out of or get back into your car you best follow instructions. At her age, she should know better. She did resist, though it was nonviolent. He's a dumb shit for abusing his badge and letting his power trip get the better of him.

I guess it's easier to disregard the rules, then just complain if we get fucked up in the process. First off, we don't know she was speeding. The Cop accused her of talking on the cell phone, which she could disprove. Then he slams another judgement on her, which she also denies. And if she DID speed, you know what I'd do? File her a ticket. Not fucking tazer her! I realize that you are conservative, and surely, you of all people, should realize that this is just another case of the "government" (or, in this case, government law enforcement) overstepping it's boundries? That cop is a dick and an asshole, all at once.

I'll have to agree with you, Ned. There was no need for a tazer to be used in this situation, though I see this as an ego problem with the cop, not as the government overstepping its boundaries. -stray-
