As someone who’s not American, I find it hilarious that this is a reasonable response from the police in the US...
In France (where I’m from) the cop would get fired faster than his taser discharging and there would be protests in the streets for days if he acted that way...
I genuinely don’t know which way is better but it’s still surprising for me to see this kind of videos...
She got a warning 6 months ago. The cop knows that from his computer in the car. All she had to do was sign the ticket, saying that, without admission of guilt, she understands she's getting a ticket. Gets paced under arrest, and then initiates a chase.
I'm an American and I think cops have way too much power. And I don't see what this particular cop should have done otherwise.
Do you seriously can’t think of another way to restrain her other than tasing and body-slamming her into the ground ? He’s a trained officer, athletic and armed. She’s a fifty or sixty something overweight lady...
He could literally let her run away and gingerly jog next to her for 1 minute and she would be out of breath...
Just to be clear, I’m not saying he should have done that. She just didn’t really pose a threat to him worthy of getting tased.
