so what happens if it turns out the woman was having an epileptic seizure? Still appropriate behaviour?

A few weeks ago the police killed a guy with a taser a few miles from where I live (UK), I think it made the mainsteam media. He was sitting in an armchair and was outnumbered 3 to 1 or something like that. It was the first time a taser had been used by this particular Police force, and round about the same time there was local news stories about the same force pushing for more tasers. Kids with toys, with the public as the playground.

Absolutely disgusting behavour. Wasn't the taser supposed to replace the gun in armed situations? You wouldn't use a gun in unarmed situations.
