Now, back to work you lot.
Why on earth would it be deemed acceptable to taser a pregnant woman? I don’t care what studies say, it seems like such a violent act would cause harm to the fetus. When the child suffers learning or developmental issues, whose tax dollars are going to have to fund special education?
yea taser story floored me (well not really since that sort of thing has been happening ever since that damnable device was distributed).
Is there a link to the opinion?
