Oh my god, Ned, It's a 72 year old grandmother! SHE'S COMING RIGHT FOR US! *chk chk boom*

Taser that guys ass.. while he is standing in a salt water kiddie pool.

She was no danger to the cop what-so-ever. That bastard should lose his job and his pension.

Meanwhile, 72 year old Winkfein told her side of the story to her local Fox station, MyFox7, saying “I wasn’t argumentative I was not combative, OK? This is a lie, all of this is a lie. Pulled away from him, I did not.”

without a bunch of overlay:


lies :34

^ Even after seeing this I don't see any reason for her to be tased. It's not like she could kick his ass or he wasn't able to restrain her physically.

This is the problem with "safe" weapons, the get overused. I say give them all AK47s, but no clubs or tazers. Make sure it's clear that the use of weapons is a last resort.

I'd like to know what kind of guidelines if any, exist for when you should or shouldn't use a taser, because it's almost as if it's entirely at the officer's discretion.

I can see why the officer wanted to keep her from entering traffic. But dude, what's that saying of your own strength as a man if you need to use a taser to prevent an old woman from walking in to traffic?

Hiding behind the power of electricity.

Pussy.

As irritating as the old lady was, there was NO reason for that taser to come out. Cop is a total fuckhead.

Now where is some kind of address that complaints can be filed? I feel the need to DO something about these videos.

This is not as cut and dry as some of the other brutality ones... and again, what if he felt the need to shoot her? that would be certainly more tragic... although you would think tasering might kill her just as well.... if you're only thinking about her, and not your own welfare as an officer.

The cop is a wuss, and the old lady is a crank. Put two and two together and you get a shocking result.

She could have had a concealed weapon. She resisted lawful orders. She was doing 60 in a 35. What about the danger to other citizens? Oh, a speeding senior citizen... never seen that turn into tragedy...



You know what though, i don't actually like my grandparents much so i guess i dont have sympathy for age when people are being dicks, cops or citizens.

land of the "free", home of the cowards.
