So which one are you... a law breaker, or a law breaker supporter? I won't call you names like you did, but I guess you're the one who believes officer-defiant people shouldn't get what they deserve. Death by tasing? Not until you challenge an officer's request, sir.
I wouldn't like it if my Grandma was the one who got tasered, but I would have to side with the cops. That's one thing about government, police officers, and any other type of judiciary. There has to be some separation of emotion and duty. The old woman did something wrong. She did not comply with a police officer. She became agitated and moved towards her car. The officer pushed her back, warned her again, and said he would tase her if she did not put her hands behind her back. Then we all know what happened ("ahhh!!!"). He followed protocol.
i dunno guys and gals, i always try to be on my best behavior when interacting with law enforcement i respect the line of work these brave souls are in, with the amount of crap they get involved in everyday, i wouldn't think twice about acting like a fool... let alone resisting arrest i bet that old dog learned a new trick that day
Tell us what you would have done instead given the same situation? She was resisting and being combative and he used excessive force for this. Who escalated the situation? At 72 years old, you should know to handle things better.
LMFAO all you people supporting the way he handled this situation. I guess Police Officers get better treatment when they are pulled over? Maybe try this.... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DrRdIeK9xoc&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DrRdIeK9xoc&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1LC6oqLhbr0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1LC6oqLhbr0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> ORRRR How About this. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/seUXNKZiBgo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/seUXNKZiBgo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I am pleasantly surprised that this hasn’t automatically turned into another boring cop-bashing thread. With one notable exception, people seem to be looking at this with an open mind. I’ve given out a lot of rep in this thread! I’m still not sure the cop should’ve tasered the old broad, but you can just tell she thought she was above the law since she’s just a nice old lady. Going 20 over in a construction zone is actually pretty dangerous. And like others have mentioned, out and out LYING to the news reporter doesn’t exactly help her credibility…..
Are you functionally r****ded? What does ANY of that have to do with THIS situation? Freaking self-pwn.
pshhh... Grannies are always pulling out the age card...ALWAYS Folks, we need to stop allowing their people to have preferential treatment. She was out of line, she got tased, end of discussion.
You beat me to it DonnyMost!! After watching the first video, I was like, what the hell does this have to do with this situation?!? Please explain.
You're the one indirectly challenging people to fights around here. I sincerely hope you get demoted to rookie.
