(52,681 posts)I don't question that this is a terrible case. There are a lot of things that crossed my mind about the kind of help and support this woman needed. It appears she got on the radar when her first common law husband was arrested. She has no means of support, and if she did, who would baby sit the children?
But let me ask you, to whom does it serve making her situation worse? If there is anyone who needs to be sat down for proper counseling, it is this woman. Tasing her is only going to make her situation worse and less agreeable to this kind of social service option.
So let's get back to the main issue. When is it ever proper to tase an eight month pregnant woman?
I believe the answer to that is never. Especially when officers could have waited to contact someone who could handle this situation in a more civil manner.
