Report: Cops stun Tampa woman pregnant with sixteenth child

[mythology]

164. Stupidity has consequences

She hit a cop.

Personally if I had done something this stupid as a kid, my mom would have smacked me upside the head for being an idiot. And I do know that my mom would be able to stay calm when watching me injure as she maintained enough self-control to deescalate a dog attack on me as a kid. Instead of panicking she remained calm until she could safely get the dog away without putting herself in danger.

Unfortunately, this woman seems to have a history of making poor decisions. 16 kids, an arrest for assault against a social worker and now assaulting a cop.

The question of the use of tazers should be a separate issue. Clouding it with the emotional issue of tazering an individual doesn't tell us anything relevant. I don't know the numbers for here in the U.S., but the numbers in other countries indicate that cops use tazers in situations that they would not have used violence in previously.
