The driver was handcuffed. Why the hell did that cop want to taser the guy? Just for cruelty?

The officers gun is holstered on their dominant side, while their taser is holstered on the non-dominant side. In order to draw the taser they have to reach across their body. Officers practice draw and holstering both weapons ad infinitum. Muscle memory alone should have taken her to her to hervtaser if that is what she truly wanted to draw. She knew what she was doing and she did what exactly she intended.

I don't think it's the Glock being pink would have made a difference. And I assume the radio signal from their vehicle must travel slower than the automobile he was about to get back into.

If they do a remake of "Hot Pursuit", this cop could play Reese Witherspoon's role of 'Officer Cooper'.

Its happened before it could be an honest mistake, in tense situations people can easily make mistakes. In my view the officer should definitely be charged with man slaughter. [cbsnews.com]

She clearly knew what she was about to do, and immediately tried to resign, so she would get her pension. I'm glad they didn't fall for it.
