Police are going too far!!

Sorry, but, I think the cop did exactly what he should have done. I would have tasered the female, too.

Even after being tasered, the guy still couldn't follow basic commands.

I would have tasered the female, too.

Now that would have been overkill. Why didn't this guy just sign the dumb
ticket & be done with it? The officer doesn't know these people & has to
be prepared for the worst. The cop wants to go home to his family at night
too.

I am with you on this Pam, I think this cop has an ego the size of utah and the police spokesperson conferred on that one. I think the driver was stupid not to just sign but is signing required, I don't know. I think the cop has some issues and he has the weapons and should have better judgement.

What kept jumping out at me is that if he is so worried for his safety why was he right next to speeding 18 wheel trucks? why not be on the other side of the car of pull over further? And to leave the tasered guy laying on the ground right buy the car, medical attention is suppose to be called for immediately after a taser, that was not done, that was straight from the highway patrol spokesman's mouth.

And the person who would taser a 6 and a half month pregnant women for having concern for her husband and a 15 month old baby in the car...give me a break, common sense was not used by either man.

At least all he did was taser him.

That cop wasn't out of line one bit. The guy walked off after he told him he was under arrest and then REACHED for something in his pocket while he was walking away. That was idiotic on his part. I agree the cop was a bit of an ass after the incident, but I think he did exactly what he should have done given the circumstances. The guy didn't do anything to the lady, he just told her to get back into the car and still explained things to her very nicely when her husband was in custody. Women are just as capable of pulling a weapon and he had no idea who these people are. I would have done it too.

My ex brother in law was a cop and has had fellow cops he knew shot and killed by people who seemed harmless. This man by this time was being put under arrest, and by walking away and ignoring the cop he was resisting arrest. For all the cop knew, he was going to get in the car and leave at best, or at worst pull a weapon. The use of the taser I think was appropriate.

oh my god, just listening to that guy makes me want to taser him!

He reminds me of the student and the Kerry speech who was tasered, arrogant and whiny.
