I would think the cops would have had a bunch more fun watching her convulse to the rhythm of the Tazer trigger then to simply watch her fall dead.
Tasers don't combat lethal force. They cause you to clench up, and when you have a knife in your hand and you're getting zapped...... Now that's a threat to herself as well."you approach lethal force with lethal force"
That's stupid. Why then, do we give the cop a Taser?
Hopefully, these murdering cops will be subject to a wrongfull death lawsuit.
My condolences cathyc, the original story did make it sound like it was someone high, on drugs. AS usual there are two sides. I was not prejudging truly, it was my opinion on a newspaper clipping.I knew Kristen, she was the sister of my friend, it hurts me to see some of the postings on different boards on the net. For example the person who said "sounds like she was on meth" Why are people so quick to assume that she was a druggie? Do you not realise that she was someones daughter, someones sister, someones friend!!! and that this is a very tragic loss to her family and friends. Please do not judge until you know all of the facts, Kristen was Bi Polar , the so called large knife was a box cutter and she was not waving it or charging at police, her arm was at her side according to witnesses. seems the only witnesses who think that the police officers were right in doing what was done are the police officers themselves.
