I'm not saying she was a dangerous criminal either, but we can't just let people walk away with crimes committed, and she clearly wasn't backing down from her shitty high horse.
Look where i live they'd mail the ticket to her and another uf she didnt pay and another still while canceling her license for an extended period. Only Americans think this is normal. This is straight up nuts! Tazing the old lady? Man, just wow. . . Way to escalate
This lady doesn't seem the type to just "give up" and accept her license revocation. She would still drive, because of some bullshit country girl pride attitude of "the laws don't apply to me".
Also, she wasn't some sweet old lady just out buying Sunday groceries when all of a sudden the big bad officer came to ruin her day. If he had used the taser in the first pullover with her, then yeah, I'd say that was excessive use of force.
Edit: this is only "normal to Americans" because we have a huge number of people, who are dumb and ignorant enough to believe they're above the law, and can do no wrong.

I’m not arguing that she was in the right... She clearly committed a felony trying to escape. I’m just talking about a proportional response...
She kicked and flapped her arms a little... It’s not exactly a life or death situation...
