We might not know the black and white details 100% that's true, but I can think of examples that inform my opinion anyway. Anyone remember the 8 year old girl who had a tantrum in class, the teacher called police and they handcuffed her because she wouldn't obey their commands?
There was a local story where a disabled man was dragged off a city bus and dragged down the street, breaking his hip, and was left in the lockup without medical attention for 14 hours.
So yeah, I believe they would have acted rashly and just tased her because she didn't immediately comply. It's simply not abnormal police behavior in 2013.. it's quite common.
Now on the flip side, I lived in a childrens home at that age and yes there were combative kids. I remember watching a 14 year old kid punch a teacher and knock him out right in the classroom. Was this similar to that? Was she throwing punches or not laying down on her stomach while every instinct in her body told her to try to protect her mother? I don't know the details.
