Police in FL taze 62 yr old woman in the back

It is when it obstructs their business. She was well warned according to the article.

Do you believe she was actually obstructing their business? Doesn't look at way from the video, since they had their man.
 
The cops are getting tired of being used for punching bags.
The public shows them no respect.

While I agree there, there still is no reason in this situation for this officer to taze the woman the back.
 
Tasers are not considered a "high level of force" nor was it improperly used. If you look into those deaths by taser, not only are they rare, but there are others factors involved, generally multiple tasings.

They do not have you taze someone in the back. The tazer is a non-lethal response (in 99% of the cases), however, it was not warranted in this situation as there was no threat.

Totally irrelevant to this story sense she did not punch him and she was walking away from him.
