QuoteI beg your pardon, sir. I stand corrected. 50 pushups take care of it?


No problema.... Make it 10.

FYI - a taser can be used just like a stun gun contact weapon.

So, it would seem. Now, the wattage seems to behigher (I would guess to ensure max capacity at range) and ya still gots to get a BC cause it "shoots."

She was attempting to commit child abandonment from what I can ascertain from the limited info the original source gives...Is that not a crime?
Negative.
"...became frustrated and tried to leave with the child".
If a police station full of cops can't deal with a pregnant woman without resorting to potentially lethal force, maybe they should all get different jobs.
She had tried to give up her baby, but now wanted to leave. The cop has a moral (and legal) reponsibility to the child at this point, so I don't see that point as valid. He can't let her
I'd like to see pics at this point to know if the cop should know the woman was pregnant.

Agreed - we could also see if "frustrated" meant a damger to anyone that could only be dealt with by tasering.
The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Unless he knows she is abusing the child he has no right to detain her. She had second thoughts, which sometimes happens.
Maybe she thought "I'm not giving my kid to these fucking morons.... I'm outta here!" So what?
No way did this warrant a tasering.

Tried to abandon your child at a police station is more than enough reason to be fearful for the child's safety. He had every right and duty there to take action. This particular action? Maybe not. But it's not an obvious overstep.
A couple years ago on the San Francisco waterfront, a mother underdressed her 3 kids and tossed em in. (Spectators did not do mankind proud - only one body was even found). If the cop lets her leave and she dumpsters that kid, that cop is going to feel like shit. Might even get blamed for it.

Well, they could have used beaten her bloody unconscious with night-sticks. That's what they used before tasers.

Taking your child to the police is not abandonment. She took the kid to a place she felt the child would be safe - something an abuser would not do.
Lesson? Never go to the police for help. I have tried it a few times, and the police have been completely USELESS.
I went to city council and a judge and got much better results.

abandonment = abuse to me. Esp if plan B was the dumpster or the bay or the nearest Denny's.

Yeah, anyone taking their child to Denny's should be tasered unmercifully,

The first is pretty self-explanatory, and the last we know pretty well to be either a simple pair of electrodes you have to touch the person with, or a pair of small darts with lengths of thin wires that can be shot at the person from a short distance.
The characteristics of the pulse(s) that get sent into the person is where I'm sure every manufacturer starts coming up with fancy sounding names. But in the end, it's a high-voltage (200-300kV) low-current (a few mA) pulsed output with a low duty-cycle (meaning you send a series of very short shocks with a relatively long period of time between them)
