Disgusting. A pretty young woman is abused by the police for speaking out loudly. She probably lost her cool when accused of card theft and its probably her first brush with the law. To use the taser was outrageous.
This was a sledgehammer to crack a nut or rather a sledgehammer to crush a nightingale.
The taser is a cruel and demeaning weapon which inflicts incredible pain. It is inhumane. In England we are going through a trial period with our armed response units using them and there is already indications of abuse.I will be watching what happens here.I hope Elizabeth sues the ass off the police and the store.Robocop was probably jealous of her good looks.

One day, one of these cops will screw with someone like me, who has the wherewithal to disarm and disable said police officer and it won’t be pretty. You’ll be hearing about that soon enough, I believe.

Don’t tase me, sis.

I wonder what really happened — we are hearring only the
perpetrators’ side of the stpory.
Will disinterested eye witnesses back up their account?

You missed the best part — where the cops accused Beeland of “passive physical resistance.”

WTF?

A taser was meant to be used in place of a gun, It was not meant to be used to shut people up or to dole out street punishment. Tasered instead of shot is an ok bargain.

Tasered for any other reason, and the officer should be up for discipline.

Should be.

Fat chance.
