So what if the woman was on the phone with her attorney? ... does the cop have the right to "interupt" that conversation with a taze?

From what I've seen, cops have the luxury of time on their side. (sitting by the road-side, just waiting, and waiting for something . ..)

Cops that are quick to feel dis'd are not the ones who should be on the job. I mean really, the woman wasn't exactly going anywhere, or threatening anyone.

But I suppose that doesn't matter; the guy armed with a tasser was mift, and he has a badge. Not to mention; he likely had lot of other looming "appointments" scheduled for the day.

Tazers are nasty. Tazer use is SUPPOSED to be for public safety. .. .NOT a cop-tool of "shut up and listen to MY authority, do EVERYTHING I tell you to do. . . .With respect and without hesitation. " -- again, where was she going?
