Shocking (literally) police footage

I regret that I follow this thread without having seen the video, as my pc has some trouble with Qucktime. But anyway...

Tasers can indeed be rigged to fry a kangaroo riding a camel floating on a crocodile along the river Nile, but the general consensus says that what they saw was overreacting, so I tend to believe that.

Now, about police brutality or overreacting or whatever we and they wanna call it, I have to say that in larger cities, police tends to be overreactive. This is due to the fact that they do not know whom they are dealing with at any time. Of course, this is by no means a plausible excuse, so these officers exceeding the limits of their authority must be brought to justice, as any other offender of personal liberties. However, the difference here is that this must be done without need of filing of a lawsuit by the victim of police overreaction. The state itself must protect itself from these occurrences or they will amplify the social phenomenon of hate against police, with obvious results.

Bad cop, plain and simple. You could tell from the tone of his voice in his first sentence he wanted a confrontation.  The lack of manners was the tip-off.  The warnings were crap since the woman wasn't listening and was panicing which is why she was on the phone.  But then again, the cop wasn't listening either, and was too eager to use his weapon.  This was  speeding ticket, not a drug bust.  

Usually I'm on the police's side, but this situation calls for suspension if not outright termination.  The cop should not be on the street.

Mord.

The use of the tazer was completely unnecessary, he could have just removed her from the vehicle himself after arresting her.  She wasn't even under arrest when she was ordered to step out of the vehicle.  Completely unnecessary and evil.

BTW recently in Madison (capitol of Wisconsin) a police officer used a taser on a five year child because the kid had a pocket knife.

That would have put him in danger, she could have stabbed him when he was vulnerable leaning into the car, or she could have punched the gas and run away with him part way in the car.
