FBI Investigates After Officer Uses Taser On Pregnant Woman
“The video shows the woman struggle with the officer, who then takes the child from her and gives the boy to another officer. The first officer then forces the woman down on her stomach, and he then deploys a Taser on her neck.”
She doesn’t have to disclose that she is pregnant if she doesn’t want to. Cop went too far. Hope FBI gets him.
