Excessive use of Tasers
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.
