"Based on our review of this matter, we have determined that the facts are insufficient to prove a criminal violation beyond a reasonable doubt at trial."

Yeah, there have never been innocent people arrested or subjected with measures of force. Oh wait... On one of those cop shows, a, off duty cop thought he got stiffed with his change, went into the restaurant, tried arresting her for stealing or something, she said she was a minor and couldn't "go nowhere without [her] mama". The cop ended up spraying her with OC spray. I believe they said that the charges were dropped and they won a lawsuit against the police force for police brutality.

you're an idiot. Verbally abusing someone is reason to be tasered ? Then you may as well say that verbally abusing someone is asking to be shot / beaten because a taser is a *WEAPON*, it is not something to shut someone up. If you can't take it that someone shouts abuse at you without getting frenzied enough to draw then you should not be a cop. They're supposed to be mentally stable enough to be entrusted with carrying weapons.

Welcome to the future: every police contact begins and ends with tasing.

So, Timmy, you are asking to be tased every time you verbally abuse someone?

No charges for the 17 years old? Don't they even check their own headlines before post anymore?

Honestly, do you have any idea what you're talking about? Did you spend even one minute doing any research whatsoever? The disturbing part about this is that I get the sense that you may be a cop. And you babble on about how a 17 year old girl can still be dangerous when handcuffed. While there may be a few 17 year old girls who are deadly even when handcuffed (on the planet) the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of her being next to completely helpless. I'm trying to think of a nice and non-confrontational way to call you an ignorant fool but it's just not coming.<a class="user" href="http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,2204">http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,2204</a> ...
