Are officers to quick to fire tasers?

This is nasty...

The Aug. 6, 2004 incident began as a normal traffic stop but took an ominous turn when the driver refused to get out of her SUV. It ended with a Boynton Beach Police officer hitting the 22-year-old woman twice with his Taser during her arrest.

That was one of the worst videos of tasering ive ever seen. What is with our society when we allow regular troopers to do things like that?

The taser that the cops used is put out by a company called AirTaser. These lil' bad boys put out a 50,000 volt charge that will drop someone but by no means is it ALL THAT. The 50,000 volt taser is actually one of the smallest on the market.....they range up to 500,000 or a little better and can be purchased on e-bay.
Ol' girl was driving with a suspended license, wouldn't get off the phone when told to numorous times, and ignored the cop when he had the taser out telling her get out of the vehicle. What was the cop to do, order in a fuckin pizza till she got damn good and ready to be arrested? Don't know about the rest of you but if I were in her situation, I would have stepped out of the car on the first "taser request".
Don't touch the oven burner honey its hot......she was probably the child with the burnt fingers in an Emergency room. :D

Just looked on e-bay....it's not a taser but a stun gun...900,000volts! The show ol' girl put on for a 50,000 unit could you imagine if she got zapped with this one! Might fry the stupid right out of her!!
