Court: Seattle police OK to stun pregnant woman

I think it's ridiculous beyond belief that the 9th US Circuit Court ruled 2-1 that the cops were justified to thrice taser a pregnant woman who was nonviolently resisting an unlawful arrest.

Quote:

She argued that under Washington law, the officers had no authority to take Brooks into custody: Failure to sign a traffic infraction is not an arrestable offense, and it's not illegal to resist an unlawful arrest.

This is the key right here. You better learn, citizen. This is what happens when you resist unlawful arrest. Welcome to Soviet Russia.
