The injustice of police brutality that was justified by the Rodney King beating trial shows that municipalities think they have the right to summarily execute law abiding citizens without due process of law and arbitrary decision making in the field. This country is not free. Our citizenship is not guaranteed nor protected. We are no longer in a democracy, but in a state of oilygarchic rule that treats anyone with disdain.

The two officers responsible for tasering this woman to death should be held over for manslaughter.
This is another prime example that tasers should be outlawed.
TY, Tammie.

The officers should be held accountable for their actions and be in jail for what they did !!!!! This is another example of police brutality.!!!!! Outlaw tasers PERIOD.

I have been anti-tazer for quite some time now. The cops think they are toys! I am also disgusted by the brutality against the handicapped and elderly lately! If they aren't dumping them out of wheelchairs the cops are tazing them or abusing them in some way! I feel it is a true reflection of the Bush administration. They feel they are above the law and can do what they want to whom ever they please so the agencies that consider themselves part of the government feel free to disregard the law also.

This is an outrage!!! Yes Chris, Rodney King immediately springs to mind. In Australia we sadly see a lot of US police shows/ docu-dramas, and to me the police are like a pack of wild, rabid,animals jumping in on the arrested person ,sometimes victim, and being vicious and abusive. We have strict laws in Australia and although our population is very much smaller than US's and we don't have as much police brutality but any incidences are dealt with swiftly. Since having so many US police shows here I have noticed a greater use of pepper spray and now taser guns. We have no guns in the civilian population here so surely our police do not need to follow this method. As a bystanding audience member of America I am often appalled at what goes on there that may well seem common place to Americans because it happens so often,or appears to. The judicial system there often appears lop-sided, insane and incapable of delivering justice to those who are deserving of it.Technicalities and plea-bargains seem to be rife and justice takes a back seat to point scoring by those involved. It often appears as if the criminals have more rights than the average citizen and that due process is often missed.
In this particular case I believe these 2 officers should be charged with murder as they must have had training and been fully aware of the capacity of their taser guns. I have seen horrendous footage of a pig being tasered for 15 seconds and it was absolutely cruel. The pig was screaming the whole time,JUMPING up a wall trying to get away then reduced to writhing on the ground!! A military testing experiment!!! This is common practice. I am sickened by the violence of this attack and a badge should not protect the perpetrators from correct prosecution, REGARDLESS of the persons colour,race,creed,employment or even sexual preferrences. None of these things have any bearing on the actions of another person. Laws that give less time to a lawyer than a housewife for a murder are wrong. Each person's life is equal and only the circumstances and actions should be taken into consideration
