she speeds off, yes, you follow her. There are still alternatives to tasering her. When she stops again just let the air out of her tires. She's not a threat. She's just an idiot.

- I absolutely agree that he gave her plenty of chances, and I also agree that an African-American might have died in the same circumstance. -- nm - David May 22, 15:27 4
  - two points: yes if an african-american pulled this, they could have easily ended up dead. But secondly, most african-americans would not act like this -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:38 2
    - (Because they would be afraid they might end up dead.) -- nm - Dark Callisto May 22, 15:39 1
      - exactly. exactly my point! -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:44
  - Yep. And then the focus would have been on the escalation. - pmb May 22, 15:35
- After he escalated it. He screwed this up way earlier. She actually offered to sign it and leave and he refused that. - pmb May 22, 15:25
- She will be lucky if she gets off without a resisting arrest, assaulting a police office, and god only knows what other charges they could lay out -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:22
