Officer Cole, who was known as “Trigger Happy Trooper,” can be seen on dashcam video Tasing the girl until she passed into a vegetative state (footage below).
She clearly posed no threat to the officer, but he Tased her anyway.
She was in handcuffs at the time.
Once he Tased her in her back, she fell to the pavement and became paralyzed.
She said, “I can’t get up.”
The officer sneered, “I don’t want you to get up,” as the high voltage electricity made its way through her limp body.
After surviving in a vegetative state for some time, she finally died, leaving behind her family and community.

The officer was cleared afterwards and was not convicted of murder. Her family is hoping that will change.
10 News reports that the same officer was also being sued by a cemetery owner whom he shot in 2012.
Regarding the dashcam footage of Danielle Maudsley being Tased to death, the attorney states, “This is one of the most disturbing videos I’ve ever seen.”
