For your comment keeps people judging people because they are not like you.

Thinking a taser is bad for your health, just think how unhealthy a bullet would have been.
You chose to run, the cop chooses to shoot, simple.

To Jeff wrote on Jun 5, 2008 9:46 PM:Thanks for showing your true colors putting your self at the same level of everyone else pointing rude comments.

But unless you are a cop yourself, one has to wonder or Think to ourself.....if a person under arrest is running away and no self defense is needed by a cop, then aren't they to chase the person down or say Stop or I'll Shoot? Isn't that the training they get.....? We all know that rule and. And from my medical stance I would rather be shot in the arm, or leg where the cop has been "trained" to shoot that would not cause sever damage since they are "trained" because it is GROSSLY easier to pull a bullet out of a "non-threatning area" then worry about the life long effects of what a Taser took away from a perfectly health person?

Our bodies heal 10x better from a non-threatning gun shot than a Taser that has Long Lasting Effects, per the Research!

I am just saying...

Dear Jeff wrote on Jun 5, 2008 9:52 PM:Mmm. dunce cap, wow that is so nice of you! The main focus is

If the cops are the professionals, then they know where and how to handle a gun to stop a felon from running to far.

A cop is not a Professional of the Effects of a Tasser, and should not be using those.

So I would rather be hit by a bullet by a Trained Shooting Law Abiding Police Officer since our bodies heal a lot faster from a gun shot, that can easily be cleaned up. (We see it all the time)

Then....worry about the LONG TERM EFFECTS OF BEING TASERED!!!!

And YES. The Professional Officer, should have been up to Running Spead to Catch the runaway felon..???

The new Technologies are way past the realism of research and running at top speads before the Trueness of the Research is complete.

So the only persons wearing any dunce caps are the ones informed and choose to sit back and do nothing to help themselfs, and asking questions is part of the process.

ANSWERS FOR ALL wrote on Jun 6, 2008 2:02 AM:So all these comments go to show how little the community knows about policing...

The Sheriff's Department of any County are usually the one that carry out any type of arrest warrants. There may be a local PD present, however, for any arrest warrant, the Sheriff's Department will be present. I will however, question why there was only one deputy present...

For all those that don't want to be tased or "harrassed" by law enforcement... Here is a sure fire way to avoid it... STOP BREAKING THE LAW!

Different departments have different policies as to when their tasers/firearms can be used. If a suspect shows any sign of violence (female previously assaulted the deputy) the taser is usually used to disable the suspect. This prevents any injury to the arresting officer/deputy as well as the suspect in the likely event a physical conflict occurs during the arrest.

If the female is being arrested for felony warrants and there were large amounts of cash and narcotics in her house... I'm sure the deputy was safe in assuming she may be armed. The taser is used and the deputy doesn't have to find out the hard way. It's simple, at the end of the night, the Deputy wants to be able to go home to his family, why should this be prevented because so many in the community that will never understand police work have nothing better to do then to sit around and complain. However, I guarantee if any of you are ever in trouble, you won't hesitate to pick up the phone and call 911 and ask for the help of these same officers/deputies you are criticizing.

Re To Jeff wrote on Jun 6, 2008 2:09 AM:Your entire post is based on the assumption officers/deputies are trained to shoot in the arms and legs? Seriously, you need to be educated. When in the academy you are trained to shoot at center mass - thats the chest. Its the largest portion of the body leading to a higher percent connect rate.

The reason being if an officer has reason to pull his firearm (which is considered deadly force) then the officer has reason to put the suspect down, for good. Forget everything you see on TV. When an officer pulls his/her weapon and fires, they are aiming for the chest.

Wow wrote on Jun 6, 2008 2:46 AM:you really think a bullet in the arm or leg is not as life threatening as a taser? Go do more reseach. A bullet in the arm can severe the brachial artery, causing death. A bullet in the leg can shatter the femur and femural artery, causing death. A Taser's effects have been PROVEN through thousands of tests to be SAFE. Seriously, go take your "Amnesty International" rhetoric elsewhere where people are not able to do accurate research. And you think cops "are trained to shoot the arms and legs?" HA! Shoot to kill/stop...thats means CENTER MASS....the lungs/heart/kidneys/liver....I guess you cant die from those shots. TASERS ARE NOT DEADLY FORCE....GUNS ARE

to answers wrote on Jun 6, 2008 8:04 AM:Though the assault of the deputy by these miscreants should not go unpunished, I still have to question the policy that allows an officer to use a Taser against someone that is fleeing. Yes, she assaulted him and if she came back at him she would be lucky if he preferred to use the Taser over his duty firearm, but less-than-lethal or not, police use of force where the officer or others are not being threatened is questionable. As for the sheriff deputies having jurisdiction everywhere in the county, that may be, but Oceanside has its own police and as an Oceanside resident I would prefer they handle the police work in Oceanside, I trust them not to start blasting unless necessary.

Believe it or not, the world isn't perfect. In the real world, people are forced into making decisions quickly and without all the possible data, and they do their best. For those that expect perfection, your future will be full of nothing but depressing disappointment, and thanks to you, in the end, no one will be willing to "step into the breach", because it just won't be worth all the attacks. If I was a cop, I'd be more concerned with the public than the bad guys. They might shoot at me, but the psychotic public, along with the media feeding frenzy, truly destroys people, most of whom are doing the best they can at the time with the situation they are faced with.

Taser Use wrote on Jun 6, 2008 1:02 PM:In the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s Response to Use of Force Audit Recommendations compiled by the Office of Independent Review (June 2007) there is the following item:

26. We recommend a revision of the Taser policy to clarify the
threshold for use as being assaultive behavior on the part of the suspect, and we encourage the Department to review and adapt its relevant Training and practices as more information about actual Taser deployment in the field becomes available.

26. The Department agrees with the above recommendation. The
recommended clarification will be made as set forth above.

If the Sheriff’s Department adopted assaultive behavior on the part of the suspect as the threshold for use of a Taser why was the women Tasered when fleeing?

It would be in the best interest of all people to just give a little care, and think of ways to correct the mind of a criminal and maybe walk in their shoes to see why they started a crime of life in the first place.

So to everyone who is blogging, oh taser all the criminal throw them in jail. Your saying raise the taxes, to pay for prisoners instead of increasing education, and funds for lower income citizens which would actually detour more than 1/2 the criminals from loosing respect for law, and fellow citizens and detour them from committing crimes in the first place that ALL OF YOU POINTING FINGERS Blog actually are the ones who don't even understand that way of thinking is to blame for people turning to crime in the first place.

Two months ago, when Vista Deputies located a carjacking suspect in Oceanside, should they have called OPD and wait until they show up to arrest him?

I agree with the majority of people in this blog, arrest them whenever or wherever they are.

Like Dave implied, you don't want to get tase, then don't resist, better yet don't commit any crime.

Practicality Please wrote on Jun 6, 2008 8:42 PM:Many posters (on both sides) have valid points. Tasers are certainly preferable to bullets, but force is also not always required. Just because someone is running doesn't mean they're resisting. An officer must be able to balance the nature of the offense with the reaction of the alleged (so NCT doesn't edit me later) criminal. For example, a kid running to avoid a ticket for skateboarding (or something as equally inert) isn't the same as someone with a felony warant on the books. I'm no fan of the SD County Sheriff's and there are many situations that I would think tasering would be excessive ... but this is not one of them. It may have been nicer to have locals on the case but it is ultimately better for all communities that felony warrant holders are off the street ... regardless of who did the job.

Dear Sick of the Crime wrote on Jun 6, 2008 9:58 PM:You have missed my point entirely,...

Yes you have raised a good child, proubly with no worries of when they will be fed next, or no worries if mom or dad will be thier to help with homework...and etc.

I am talking about most people who do not even have this luxary?

I am not talking about getting involved in Crime Prevention...

I am talking about caring for others who are less fortunate, that if you paid one ounce of attention or have concern for, that could change the whole thought process, that no one has ever showed them? Those are things we have to change now, and so much more.
One small ounce of influence that others care...leads to respect. Respect of ones self, then they can respect others.

Ya so we all show our ID for sudafed, big deal? Most drug dealers are looking for a quick fix in the pocket, and need a quick fix to detox, and some life counceling...Not lets just slam another door in your face, with bars on them.

side of their contracted cities. Your statement is not factual. THE SHERIFF HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ARREST ANYWHERE IN
SAN DIEGO COUNTY. As far as the last part of your post regarding pursuits, be advised, that coordinating pursuits are set up to give municipalities a "heads up" of a police action coming into their area. The reasons for this advanced notice are that the pursuing
officers may need additional assistance and the officers assisting may know the area better if the fleeing criminals stop and run.

Unlike you, I don't recall ever bragging about being a "Civic" or any other kind of teacher by using it as my title name. I have the worse spelling in the world, So just HOW does that make me a Hypocrite? Class over!
