If "always gentle" is unrealistic, I'd like to set the bar a little higher than "tazing a restrained person 3 times".



None of us was there. If she was belligerent drunk, how could she reliably remember everything that happened ? More likely story is she refused orders to calm down, assaulted CO's and got tazed before being restrained. That would be a perfectly reasonable thing to do.


None of us was there, as you said. I do not take it as "more likely" that the victim earned three tazings. I also don't believe that effective policework would ever require tazing a drunk person three times.

And as has been said elsewhere, she was restrained all throughout.


She was strapped to the gurney prior to leaving the scene of arrest.


Right.. and if she assaulted CO's to the point where it required three tazings, do you really think she'd escape without a charge?
