| 472437 | 2006-07-20 20:37:00 | www.palmbeachpost.com Woman tasered for not getting out of the car after being stopped for speeding. Stupidity pays a high price, a comment from a police officer on the case .... For anyone who thinks this officer is in err, think again. I spoke with an officer about this (here in Atlanta the officers were shown the video, they don't taze they have mace, but the video has been viewed by cops everywhere) and heard the tape of the officers Seargent speaking about it. To prevent physical altercations and to protect officers, the taser was the correct escalation on the ladder of force. After the taser is the baton, then the bullet between the eyes. He was completely justified in his actions under the law and did not step out of line. As for the "i cant i cant i cant", you would be amazed at how many people "can't" put their hands behind their back. Officers deal with people who "can't" every day, and with a little persuasion (50k volts for a couple of seconds), they can. |

| 472438 | 2006-07-20 21:22:00 | Amazing how compliant a short sharp jolt can make someone :) took the defiance right outa her. I wouldnt preclude that from happening in nz tho...look at the guy who got pepper sprayed on the ground handcuffed at the BB game? I guess as policing becomes a more dangerous job in nz then the police will becomre more hard-line like US police, and therefore idiots that like to argue with them like myself :) will find themselves on the wrong end of some high voltage acupuncture, if it gets approved here..which it will | straitjacket (9698) | ||

As stupid as people are for esculating a situation like that theres plenty of fools in blue who are going to be armed and of the attitude that might is right. I don't trust anyone no matter what thier uniform is. |

| 472440 | 2006-07-21 06:36:00 | I don't trust anyone no matter what thier uniform is. Well, that's the nursing profession, St John's Ambulance, the Coastguard, airline pilots, the Airforce, the Army, the Navy and the Salvation Army down the gurgler. I assume that boy scouts, sea scouts, brownies, girl guides and girls brigade are still acceptable, but perhaps not. Maybe it's better to judge individuals by their actions rather than by the uniform they wear. Except Priests perhaps....... Cheers Billy 8-{) :stare: |

Wearing a particuler uniform doesn't suddenly make someone responcible or even stable enough to weild power and tools capable of killing over the general population. And I have met a few right pillocks who are involved in the Sallies, and no, I wouldn't give them a tazer either |
