I feel sad for what happened to this girl, and yes I think in this situation the officer could have made a different choice. It does seem like police rely on the taser as a non-violent weapon a little to much considering the possibility of harm.
However, with that said, if I chose to run from the cops, I know I would be taking the risk of being seriously hurt or even killed. People act like there are no consequences for their actions, but there are.
As far as not realizing life has consequences, I feel like this could be partially contributed to video games. Bare with me here. I love video games, and I think there is nothing wrong with them and I don't think they make people want to kill, but I have this theory that being able to save and restart has conditioned people to not fully accept that there are consequences you can't come back from. Granted, this is not a very well thought out theory, just something that has been bouncing around in my head. That's a whole other discussion however. lol
