Handcuffed woman spits on cop, gets taseredThursday, September 06, 2012
OKLAHOMA (WABC) -- An Oklahoma police officer was suspended after he was caught on camera using a taser on a woman in custody.
Nakina Williams was in handcuffs, accused of public intoxication, when she spit on the officer. In response, Officer Sterling Taylor shocked her with a taser. Taylor was seen circling Williams while the probes were still on her for a little more than minute. The incident happened last June."Obviously, spitting in the face or on a police officer is inexcusable," said the American Civil Liberties Union Board Member William H. Hinkle."The only justification for him tasering her is if she was somehow able to physically attack him in some way that looked capable of injuring him seriously. I don't know how she could have done that with her hands cuffed behind her back." The department ultimately found Taylor violated the McAlester Police Department's policy for handling Tasers. Taylor has been placed on a two week unpaid suspension, and will have to undergo more training. |
