yeah. i think extra care should be taken with people in wheelchairs.
at least they didn't throw her to the ground before they killed her though.
that makes it better.
look we could apparently argue this forever
you guys don't think humans should be treated like humans and i do. that's all.

No, you can twist words and infer all you want.

What you want is for every cop to know the medical/psychological/physical condition of every knife-yielding whack job out there so that they can make the most informed decision possible.

Should this woman have been tased? Probably not. Just like I said about the guy yesterday, tasing was probably a little much and the disturbance could have done without it. However, I understand that cops are making decisions in split seconds without knowing much of anything about the people in front of them. If they are threatened or lunged at, they have a split second to decide on a course of action.

I'm sorry that we don't have little transmitters in us that tell the cops what we are thinking and what we had for breakfast and when our last crap was, but I don't want that.

Pretty soon I predict they'll get rid of tasers and then a cop is going to get killed by someone wielding a knife in a wheelchair. Are you going to feel sorry for that cop? Are you going to think he deserves to be treated like a human and not knifed on his beat?
