What if : he shot her with a device that encapsulated her in foam.
...and what if the foam got all over her head, leading to asphyxiation?
Never mind.
Some people want to live in an ideal world full of foam, unfortunately the world is full of rocks.

Tragic situation, but this girl deserves most of the blame. She was being arrested for not one, but two hit and run accidents. During the transport, she managed to remove one of the handcuffs and then she escaped the custody, and ran. The OP fails to mention that this woman was hopped on on coc aine and oxy at the time.
Quite honestly, I'd rather have her in a vegetative state than driving around hopped up on drugs and/or alcohol. This may have saved the lives of an innocent family that she could have plowed into.
The only person I feel sorry for is the girl's mother.

Yes. This woman clearly deserved to suffer such extreme electric shocks so as to render her brain dead by the sole determination and decree of a single individual who has grown obese leaching off the tit of the taxpayer.

Oh. I forgot. You no longer have to be ACTUALLY CONVICTED of a crime. Arrest alone is enough to determine guilt.

I found another source for this info here.
slumz.boxden.com...
The video shows Maudsley fleeing a back door of the substation with Cole following closely behind.
Maudsley was arrested for her alleged involvement in two hit-and-run crashes and driving without a license.
Cole brought Maudsley to the substation to complete his paperwork before taking her to the Pinellas County Jail, according to FHP reports.
As she enters the parking lot, Cole deploys his taser and Maudsley hits the ground hard, with her head slamming into the asphalt.
"What were you thinking? What are you, stupid?," Cole can be heard asking Maudsley on the video.
"I can't get up," said Maudsley.
"I don't want you to get up," said Cole.
"I can't get up," Maudsley said again. The last words Maudsley has spoken since being tasered.
On the video, Maudsley loses consciousness about two minutes after hitting her head.
Maudsley's mother said the trooper should have used other means to stop her daughter from fleeing.

Yeah I might have gotten out of hand of course in the BEGINNING we choose (most of the time) to injest the drugs ourselves. But hereditary genes play a big role along with environment. When you are an "addict" that means your brain cannot sufficiently produce the neurotransmitters or chemicals in the brain sufficiently, in this gurls case she had no natural endorphins, enkephalins, or as much dopamine as she needed to not feel like she was in living hell. Unfortunately, courts nowadays are way too quick to label people "addicts" because of a DUI or related charge and make them go to AA while the true "addicts" get very little help and definitely can't pay for a good pain doctor (drug dealer with a liscense) a million dollars for her fix or maybe for something like buprenorphine which may actually help her...
Presumably the girl is getting treatment for her head injury ? The injury is called "concussion". It is a common head injury. After a time she will heal.

Reading some of the posts I was thinking if they did this to capture an animal they would have caught hell for it.
And on drugs she was very much like an animal, she is going to run.
And then I thought how do they capture an animal?
Dart gun? One of those rope on a pole things. Probably either would have left her alive and undamaged.
I have heard stories that the 45 that we used in the Navy years ago was developed because the extra stopping power was needed against the enemy on drugs. Maybe the cops need to develop some special techniques and equipment to capture people who are out of control. The Taser is too often fatal.

It's basically a snuff film of someone's life being ended by a lazy piece of garbage who doesn't belong out in the streets as a cop.
How many deaths since 2001 by a taser? about 500 now?

Don't put words in my mouth. She was UNDER ARREST and then FLED. Should the cops be in the business of letting people who break free just go, or should they pursue them? I think they should pursue them! They used a STUN GUN, not a FIREARM. Their intent wasn't for her to hit her head and become a veggie tales episode. Their intent was to get her to stop RUNNING! The stun gun didn't make her brain dead, but the hit to the ground did. What's your excuse?

How many people were tasered since 2001? I say we give you guys what you want, just have no cops at all, I mean what do we need them for anyways.
