When did ordinary citizens become public enemy
number one?? It seems that we have zero rights
when the arm of the LAW rests its gaze on us.
We can only submit and ANY protest will be dealt
with swiftly and perhaps with deadly consequence,
as tasering results in death with alarming frequency.
Here is a recent event when an unarmed woman in
Best Buy was tasered~~it also begged the question
in my mind, when the article refers to the officer
"had every right", exactly what are the officers'
rights and exactly what ARE our rights??

Use of Taser on disruptive store customer questioned
By LYDA LONGA

DAYTONA BEACH -- Can running your mouth off at a police officer during a confrontation in a crowded store get you blasted with a Taser?
It happened last month when a Daytona Beach police officer stunned a yoga instructor. The officer used her Taser when the teacher refused to pipe down inside the Best Buy store on West International Speedway Boulevard.
Some human rights and civil liberties experts say a Taser, and the 50,000 volts its twin projectile probes deliver, should never be used in a situation like that. But Daytona Beach's police chief said the verbal lashing his officer got and the way her commands were ignored gave his officer every right to use her weapon.
The incident reflects a growing international debate over Taser use. Last month, after six people who were stunned died in the United States and Canada, a United Nations committee said the use of Tasers can be a form of torture. Law enforcement advocates counter that stun guns are safe, essential tools that save officer lives and protect the public.
