A video circulating on X shows a woman being detained by police after she was allegedly caught trying to steal from a gas station. After the woman was allegedly accused of trying to steal items, police responded to the gas station. The video shows an officer using a Taser during the encounter.
X is praising the police officer for the patience and restraint he demonstrated before discharging his taser, as he tried to detain the suspect in a less lethal way. But when she got loud and confrontational, he had no choice but to hit her with the high voltage of electric shock.
?? En Estados Unidos, una mujer estaba tratando de robar dentro de una estación de gas, llegó la Policia para arrestarla, la mujer se puso confrontacional, así que al Policia no le quedó de otra que rostizarla con descargas eléctricas. ¿Apruebas la intervención del Policia? pic.twitter.com/6ig1mlypkW

"It’s unacceptable that a few out-of-place troublemakers are taking advantage of decent society, hiding behind a malicious and utterly flawed interpretation of “Human Rights.” I offer my full support to the American police, which other countries should emulate. Roast them." The comment praised the officer's handling of the encounter.
According to the video post, which was re-shared by @Liberfach0, the police were called to a gas station somewhere in the United States to arrest a woman who was caught trying to steal items. At the beginning of the video, the officer attempts to detain the woman as she moves away from him.
The entire time, the officer had his taser gun drawn and pointed in the woman's direction. As she walked backward away from him, she said sternly, "Don't Touch Me!" But the officer was there to do one job, and that was to arrest her. The woman continued to move away from the officer as he attempted to detain her.
Video Prompts Debate Over Police Use of Tasers
As the police officer continued to walk her down, she continued yelling and asked again, "And tell me why I'm gonna get tased, sir!" The officer remained calm and responded in such a low tone that it was unclear what was spoken. She replied, "No I'm not," and continued to walk away like a child playing a game of cops and robbers. Naturally, the officer walked behind her with his taser gun drawn.
Again, she screamed, "NO," with her hands on her hips in resistance. A few seconds later, the officer deployed his Taser, and the woman fell to the ground. After being Tased, the woman cursed at the officer and attempted to get back on her feet.
According to a report from the Stroud, Flechas, and Dalton Law Firm, officers are only allowed to use tasers and other use-of-force tools if a person is armed, resisting arrest, or poses a threat to the officer and the public.
The video also prompted some commenters to support the officer's actions. One commenter wrote, "She has been probably doing this nonsense for awhile based on her attitude and needs a reality check. Great job officer."
The Daily Dot was unable to independently verify the circumstances surrounding the encounter, including the woman's alleged theft or the events leading up to the officer's use of a Taser.
