Okla. Woman Tased Point Blank in the Chest Sues City for $2 Million (See the Stunning Surveillance Vid.)

An Oklahoma woman taken into the Pittsburg County Jail in June for public drunkenness, who was shot with a Taser directly in the chest by an officer for unruly behavior, is now suing the city for $2 million in damages.

According to NewsOK, Nakina Williams filed the suit against the city of McAlester for alleged violations of her civil rights and use of excessive force by officer Sterling Taylor-Santino. Taylor-Santino plead not guilty to charges of assault with a dangerous weapon.

The plot thickens when the report stated that Williams believes Taylor-Santino tried to cover up the severity of his use of the Taser in the “use of force report” he filed of the incident. According to NewsOK, Taylor-Santino did not include in the report that Williams was handcuffed when she was tased.

Video surveillance of the incident shows Williams was restrained by handcuffs when she was shot with the electric jolt. Watch the footage included in this report:

Williams’ lawyer Jeremy Beaver told NewsOK that the officers should not have “yanked” the Taser’s barbs from her chest.

“They were supposed to take her to the hospital to remove those,” he said according to the news site.

Both Williams and Taylor-Santino appear to have their own respective histories. NewsOK reported the lawsuit brought against Taylor-Santino mentioned that he had “instigated a disproportionate number of violent conflicts with suspects.” Williams’ had been arrested before for other public intoxication incidents, possession of controlled substances and inadequate care of her children.

According to NewsOK, Taylor-Santino is still an officer for the McAlester Police Department, although he was suspended for two weeks without pay. The next court date is scheduled for Dec. 14.

    You can clearly see her spit at the officer. Here in Florida that’s considered assault. Don’t know about the laws in OK.

      If she did spit in his face, that’s when you put them on the ground and bag their head. You don’t shoot them in the chest. That makes no tactical sense.

      In FL law, it’s battery rather than assault. Assault is essentially threats (words/gestures) and battery is the physical violence (striking with hands, a club, stabbing, spitting, etc.).

      A tazer, club, pepper spray, etc….are great devices to get a dangerous and FREE person in a position to put on restraints.

      Once handcuffs are on, any police officer worth his salt has complete control of the perp. YES…there are some exceptions…particularly skilled fighters, and people that are very wound up…and in some of those RARE cases tazers etc….need to be used again.
      But you DO NOT use a taser on someone restrained that is being uncooperative or disruptive. March them back into isolation cuffed. If they are a spitter put a bag over their heads and back into the cell.
      You do not need to taze someone like this. I don’t think she deserves millions, but I do question the police officer’s intelligence.

      She should sue for $20 million not 2.
      Cops use the taser as torture.
      She was no threat, as her hands were behind her.
      Police have to be held to some standard, not just a higher standard.
      They removed the barbs (Illegally) so they wouldn’t have to admit they did it.
      I’m surprised the video didn’t mysteriously disappear.

      POLICE HAVE BECOME MOST DANGEROUS THREAT TO LIFE IN AMERICA

      This COP did not like what the women said and really tried to kill her knowing the TASER can cause heart arrest. TASERS were the worst thing to allow COPs to have. They are even TASERing pregnent women, the elderly, and mentally handicapped people. Most of the COPs in America are on steroids and this causes insane aggression. COPS should be required to take a blood test for steroid usage after a violent arrest.

      Mothers you must tell your kids that the police are not our friends anymore if they ever were our friends.

      Being prejudiced against the police makes you just as big a jackass as the few of them who cross the line. “THE” police aren’t bad. Yes, there are some who step over the line and there are some jerks, but don’t disparage all of them over the actions of a very few. They are by and large good people who would most likely take a bullet for you if the situation called for it. Why don’t you arrange a ride-along with your local PD. See what they deal with on a daily basis before you rant about thingsyou know nothing about.

      @GHOST

      I used to agree, but evidence is mounting to convince me otherwise. Your statement has become a hard argument when several cops in this video witnessed a battery taking place and did NOTHING to stop or arrest the assailant.

      So if the argument of 99.9% of them “do the right thing” why did 100% of them do “the wrong thing” here?

      That pig with the tazer should have been dropped, cuffed, and booked IMMEDIATELY just like anyone with out a badge would have been in the same situation. And yet they did nothing.

      Being a cop is crappy job that I certainly wouldn’t want. It requires a patience and civility that I’m afraid very few people have.

      WE NED TO REMEMBER:

      They are not soldiers, they are civil servants of the people. Municipal police departments around the country have emphasized a military mindset over a civil mindset in training for decades and it’s time we recognize that transition as the FAILURE that it has become.

Really dangerous things…………I really feel sorry for these cops because more and more criminals would prefer to kill them as to look at them.

      Freeberty et al:
      The California City of San Bernardino is now bankrupt and has recently layed off over 80 cops. The murder rate has risen by 50%, and the city attorney has advised the citizenry to lock themselves in their homes and load their guns because there are not enough cops left to deal with the skyrocketing crime rate. Property values will no doubt be plummeting, so here is a great opportunity for all you ‘arm chair cops’ and estrogen-laden liberal punks to finally live in a cop-free community. Oakland, CA is another liberal utopia you will want to consider. How about wonderful Detroit? No tazers there, I’m pretty sure.

      A handcuffed drunken woman who kicked my partner in the groin lived to regret it. Afterwards, interestingly enough, she received an epiphany about how being a “helpless female” didn’t really save her from stupid choices any more than this woman spitting on the cop (00:00:11) saved her from doing the tazer dance (which was far better than receiving a forward elbow strike to the left side of her jaw at the TMJ). Point two oh courage from a bottle rarely lasts.

I have meant many who are not, that statement like so many on this site is just laying a blanket over a problem and not addressing the actual issue at all which is individuals. For a group of people who like to decry “collective salvation”, you assign groups of people more blame than anyone I’ve ever seen.

      Cops are increasingly just rotten to the core. Sorry for saying this. I’m so sickened by all this police brutality crap its beyond a joke. These are not isolated incidents. They are just being covered more vigorously now which I welcome.

      It also occurs to me that Conservatives like myself seem to develop a form of “writer’s-cramp” when it comes to police brutality because we are natural supporters of law and order. We obey the laws we pay the taxes so we are pro-police. But my goodness, we Conservatives need to also see that these officers are also members of a big fat union. Unions are the enemy of the taxpayer. Unions defend in my opinion egregious behavior by their “members” regardless of situation.

      Police, teachers, firemen, “public workers” are takers from the public purse. They need to be held accountable. No more “we need to see the big picture”. If a teacher shows a classroom of kids a video involving gay sex or whatever Conservatives are up in arms decrying the situation and rightly so because it would be an abuse. No different with police.

      Conservatives need to stop being blind.

If he is not trained in how to handle a situation like that,then the department is at fault,but I’ll bet he was trained to handle a situation like that ,but chose the easy way with a taser, now,she will get 2 mil.that she doesn’t deserve (and she will get something) out of the tax payers because this officer took the easy way. Fire his ass,and charge him with assault.That makes all police officers look bad. Professionalism counts,if she got injured by a take down and bagging,she wouldn’t have had a very good case,because that would have been by the book…instead now she’s the victim.No excuse.

    We had a cop here in Dayton Oh, that tased a young girl at a Wendy’s drive thru for giving back wrong change for his 20. He was in the drive thru. After he realized the change was wrong, he walked into the store behind the counter and demanded his money. She tells him he can’t be back there and he freakin tased her. Like a 20 year old (black) girl. NOTHING happened to him. It was all on camera.

      The Lawyers always ask for high numbers, it gets attention, is she a good person, most likely not, but that does not matter, the cop was wrong, his actions were vengeance, not necessary since she was restrained and he had others to assist him in restraining her. This shows that he should not be wearing that uniform, he changed the situation from her being charged to being rewarded, big mistake.

    In Ranger School they have this big sawdust pit for Hand-to-Hand training. Ranger cantidates are taken there obstensibly to teach them a few martial arts maneuvars, but what’s really going on is a bit of clever Natural Selection to weed out a certain type of cantidate.
    After the Ranger Instructors demonstrate a few moves involving a take down, you are instructed in a no-nonsense way to finish off your opponent with a hard kick to the ribs. They tell you that they want to see a real kick, no light stuff, and then warn you that they’ll be watching. The implication being that you’re in serious trouble if you don’t kick your buddy really hard in the ribs.
    Oh, did I mention you’re wearing hard-toed combat boots?

    The psychology of this is brutally simple. The smart Ranger realizes that after kicking the crap out of his buddy, it’ll be his buddys turn to do the same. Knowing this, he holds his kicks makes them look dramatically impressive but they barely touch his buddy. The compassionate Ranger is always looking out for his buddy, and does his best to protect him, because one day he’ll need his help, so he avoids damaging his buddy.
    That just leaves the thugs that like hurting people, and the idiots that obey every order to the letter without thought or understanding. These types get weeded out.

    In the same way Cops are being subjected to this Darwinian process because of Video Cameras. It’s an amazing world.

      @ranger: i concur with roth. the only thing you left out of your story is that this piece of slime needs a louisville slugger to the side of the head.
      95 % of cops make the rest look bad. and look at all the “good ones” just standing around watching this freakin’ coward. pathetic.
      and those of you that swear that leo will be on our side when the shtf because of your friend who’s a cop this or your friend who’s a cop that are surely and unfortunately mistaken. they’re going to collect their paychecks whatever that entails.

      I remember it well. I confess, however, that I didn’t know the point of the drill. I do recall that the deal was to kick our buddy with the outside edge of the boot. Made a nice thump on the chest cavity but not enough point pressure to cause injury (Course if I had it done to me now I’d need 30 visits to the chiropractor). The recycles tipped us off which has probably been the case since the second Ranger School class.

      Remember peer reviews? Line up in single file and rate the guy ahead of you # 1, next guy # 2, etc. You screw it up you screw the whole squad.

      Good times. Especially getting done with it. Oof. (Winter) RANGER 1985

    What’s up with the cops all looking like members of the military now? Bet he felt like a “real man” when he did that, if I would have been one of those other cops HE would have been tazered right back!
    This is the type of abuse of power that gives cops everywhere a bad name. But 2 million? That is an abuse of our justice system too, and that I blame on the lawyers. Drop the charges, pay her medical and give her a trip to rehab. Then send her and her kids to Disney land and call it square.

      It is an aspect of the paramilitarization of police. There will be no peace until they are again neighbor constable peace officers. Cops have no ‘right’ but only powers that we delegate. Fire them.

      In my opinion cuffs do not matter. They are already inside the country lock up, and she is being processed into the system. Sure, she’s running her mouth, but no reason for this guy to loose it and use less than lethal force on her. His actions illustrate a failure to use good judgement. What if he did not have the tazer? Would he just draw a baton or asp and just beat the crap out of her? These guys just have to grow some thick skin and never take anything personally from their prisoners. Especially a drunk.

      Police enforce the laws, they do not have the right to dish out punishment as they may see fit or perceived as being deserved. Good Lord man, the womans hands were cuffed and on the desk behind her, she appears to have made a remark just before being zapped. The cop gave her that “smack-in-the-mouth” as punishment for insulting him, and in so doing lost a little piece of his humanity.

      It’s sad to see a police brutality report like this immediately after the report about the NY cop buying shoes and socks for the homeless man.

      I think the cop could “feel her about to resist”. That’s why he did it.
