This was unusual behavior for a minor traffic stop, but Bryan was not threatening or trying to run. My first thoughts of seeing an offender acting erratic, would be drug related.

At the time the officer used his taser, there was no confrontation or resisting taking

Garner, the Supreme Court ruled that, “deadly force may not be used unless there is a reasonable cause to believe there is a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others exists” (Hendrix, 2013, page 194). The use of physical force should not be used in the manner of vindictiveness, retaliation, or punishment purposes. This display of action is unprofessional and is against the code of conduct. The suspect’s actions of getting out of her vehicle warranted the use of force, because she approached the officer in a threating manner.
