to answer your question yes some are such a bunch of wimps they have to use tasers to subdue an intoxicated woman, BUT them same officers whom are wimps would use the taser on anyone including kids just to feel tough and macho, I am sorry but an intoxicated person confrontational or not is very easily subdued zero need for a taser its high time prosecuotrs look into taser use as possible police brutality, way to many people are dying from these things and yet use by police is going up, its almost as if they are trying to kill people legally with how they are using them,and it gets wrote off as a freak happening, just look at the national incidences of death related to tasers in the last three months all the more reason to treat these things as a lethal weapon, would a police officer stab someone or shoot them with a serice weapon to put cuffs on an unarmed suspect? Taser are about as lethal as a knife or firearm,
if person is possibly attempting to get a weapon by all means taser them but to put cuffs on some drunken person give me a break...

What is it with these modern cops that they have to use a taser on everyone. As a former police officer I am appalled. Have they become such a bunch of wimps that they can't subdue a drunk manually?

this is sad... i feel really bad for that woman's kid who will have to put up with the bullying now.. what kind of woman would do that, seriously??!! if u had one to many, do NOT go to ur child's school and try to assault kids just to try to find yours who ISN'T EVEN THERE!! look at all the problems and deaths alcoholic beverages have contributed to... if drugs are illegal, i believe alcohol needs to be illegal too..

Sorry for all the spelling errors in my comment! I had not had my coffee yet!

Well,my heart goes out to the child that will have to deal with the verbal assaults from other children due to their parents terrible behavior!Hopefully the school will use this oppertunity to educate the children to the pitfalls of alchol or drug ABUSE.
Let us hope they do not go overboard,as is often the case,and demeasnize the occasional glass of wine or couple of beers at a cookout.
