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?

Is there a link to the opinion?
