Did anyone else see the news report last night about Emily Delafield, the wheel chair bound woman in Green Cove Springs who died after a run in with the law where she was tasered?

I guess there is a reporting system attached to them where it has clearly showed the woman was tasered apx 10 times with durations of contact with the body as long as 25 seconds. 

I really really try to view these situations having some empathy for Law Enforcement.  It's a tough job, in more ways then one but this time I really have to side with that womans family.

She was in a wheelchair for goodness sake, yes she had weapons, and no I don't expect the Police to allow themselves to be hurt trying to apprehend her but the number of times those tasers were used is unreasonable under the circumstances.  There are any number of things they could have done to contain her until she exhausted herself, time was on their side, they just didn't take the time.  

Would that many electrical jolts to a body not kill even a healthy person? 

I've always had the mindset that if you put yourself in the position of crossing law enforcement when they've decided to arrest you then you're asking for trouble even if you're right and they're wrong and my normal attitude is that if you do what you're told you don't get hurt.  This time though I am not on their side, it was just wrong.  They could have shot her with a tranquilzer dart, they could have gotten a fishing net and thrown it over her, they could have surrounded her with riot gear, vehicles, any number of things and let her exhaust herself into submission, anything but what they did. 

Whoever was in charge of that scene that day failed miserably.  It was a wrongful death, and I hope something is done about it.
