Police Brutality: Mother Tasered While Kids Watch for Using a Cellphone

Police Brutality: How does a law-abiding mom driving home with two kids end up being Tasered, handcuffed and arrested — while her children are left alone for 40 minutes in the car, waiting for someone to come get them?

Thats a question that Audra Harmon hopes will be answered by a lawsuit she has filed against the Onondaga County (N.Y.) Sheriffs Department. In the process, she and her attorney told TODAYs Meredith Vieira Friday in New York, they hope to spur a debate over whether police should be carrying Tasers at all.

The suit, seeking unspecified monetary damages on an array of charges including false arrest and police brutality, has been filed, said attorney Terrance Hoffman, to bring awareness not only that anybody can be a potential victim, but also awareness to the police officers who have the Tasers to be a little more judicious and think it out a little more before they use this kind of device. Then the overall picture is whether or not Tasers should be used in law enforcement.

@bige1481 You never know...I thought you might be one of those police informers scouring youtube to build up a database of possible anarchists. But I see instead you have Discordian tendencies. Hail Eris!

Onondaga Sheriff Deputies LOVE to make arrests. They'll taser an 85 year old woman if they think they can arrest her. And cops wonder why they're losing support of the civilian population and civic groups. We need reduce their budgets by like 50 percent. And we will.
