In reply to the discussion: Report: Cops stun Tampa woman pregnant with sixteenth child [View all]WingDinger
(3,690 posts)171. THe lady is CRAZY. Even more requirement to social support up. Bring social workers. Something.
There have GOT to be better ways of dealing with anything cops dont like but tazing. Tazing will KILL me. Protest=death. Tazing harms MANY categories of humans. Mostly the most vulnerable. And it has become like washing a kids mouth out with soap. FAR too cavalier about safety, and like the beating they wish they could give. So, it is a COMPLIANCE TOOL. TORTURE, and terrorist threat.
"On Tuesday, police wanted to speak to one of her sons about throwing rocks at another home in the neighborhood. He said he didn't do it and ran from the police."
Why yes, that usually earns you a bullet in the back.
"Angel Adams says two officers – a man and a woman – forced their way into her home."
Once cops enter your home without warrant, and are throwing weight around, any slight movement of resistance, is charged as battery. Believe it.

So if you're immature and have lots of kids, fair game to taze you? I'll keep that in mind.
