In reply to the discussion: Tasered woman now brain dead [View all]Kellerfeller
(397 posts)In the UC Davis case, I think it would much more reasonable to have simply peeled them off one-by-one. If the person resisted too much (i.e. where someone might get hurt) then pepper spray or even tasing (with warning to all of those touching the person that they would also feel the effects) might have then been reasonable.
And no, I saw that the guy could not just grab her. She was quick.
And if he sat on her and cracked her ribs or bloodied her nose, people would be screaming that it was excessive force and that she could have easily been subdues with a Taser.
If she had fallen slightly differently, she would have been fine and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
In general, Tasing is safer for everyone involved. Why do you think they started using them in the first place?
