i bet she's a suicide risk, CP.
Just dreadful.
And just watch for the vultures to go after her.
I'm sad for the victim too. I don't know why the police let keys stay in the car, or suspects stand by the driver doors, or anything about that. The whole stop looked odd to me.

I think one of the problems is that tasers have become more complex, so they weigh more, and handguns have embraced polymers and carbon fiber, so they weigh LESS.
The difference between a loaded Glock and a loaded Taser is less than a pound. There was a time when a taser felt distinctively lighter in your hand.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

She's going to be replaying this in head for the rest of her life. It doesn't help that some people will refuse to accept that it was an accident.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

A lot of that has to do with optics -- cameras everywhere, so Police try to make double durn sure they don't violate anybody's constitutional rights or do anything that could be considered racist or overly aggressive, or.... all the while, it puts both themselves and the victim at greater risk.
Where a driver refuses or drives off (it happens) the police just follow, and if the escapee drives dangerously the police will discontinue the chase.
That can sound a bit weak, but we've got 65 million people living in a land about half the size of Texas, and our cctv coverage is many many more times more intensive than anything you've got. Where a 'Crime Pool car with cloned plates' has got away the car's details go in to the computer for instant recall.
Our cops have made mistakes, shot innocents, been caught in their own scams, etc.,......... but our training and counselling is very high quality, and I do wonder whether this police officer has been given in depth training on instant reactions with 'tazer or pistol', and I read a post which explains that her bail is set at $100,000........
I don't pray, CP, but my thoughts go out to both her and the family of the young man shot by accident.

What is certain is that these scenarios are avoidable. When they do happen, it’s typically the result of inadequate or lapsed officer training, according to at least a half dozen weapons and law-enforcement experts interviewed by the USA TODAY Network

In the spectrum of "policing in America", Tasers are only like 5 minutes ago, so it will take a while to get this experiential training throughout the system.

If a person is able to get out of their vehicle and go-sit in the police car then that is what happens. The cop approaches the vehicle, greets the driver, asks the driver to turn the engine off, briefly explains why s/he needed to stop the vehicle and then asks driver to 'come sit in the police car'. As the driver gets out the cop can then ask the driver to bring their keys with them for security.

I had a partner once who was always a "tough guy" cop, but one night we had to hunt down an escaped convict, and there was a suspicion that this escapee was hiding in the attic of a home under construction. My partner got there first, and motioned for ME to go up the stairs to check the attic. I could see the FEAR in his eyes, as he realized this was one of the most undesirable 'searches' you can imagine --- where your head is the first thing that appears to the victim, and HE knows where you're going to come in, and YOU don't have a clue which of the 360degrees he may be hiding in.
