What should the officer have done instead? I see a lot of whining from leftists who always know what is wrong, but have no alternative. I have yet to see one of you who complained suggest something better. Perhaps there is a brilliant idea out there that I haven't thought of. Please share it.

Not a leftist, but I am more on the moderate side of right. I think my biggest problem was the length of time, and the second shot. Educate police on communication skills, and not just how to shock the [censored] out of someone. I don't think he ever told her to get out of the car because she was being placed under arrest for driving on a suspended license. There were two policemen and one pretty small lady. I think they could have taken her with out the use of any weapon.

I think it went something like:

"Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car or I'll tase you. Get out of the car or I'll tase you. Get out of the car or I'll tase you."

I think she should've recognized that he was asking her to get out of the car and that she should've hung up her [censored] phone and got the hell out of the car. Also, that the immediate consequence of her not getting out of the car would be getting tased.

Simple, yet very well done. I lived, I laughed, I learned.
