demon_ixsays...Title sort of misleading, isn't it?
Should really be "Ritalin deprived teen discusses Tasing of blind woman by cop."
alien_conceptsays...Well, I kinda hope that people will read more than just the title
EDDsays...^I think what he meant was the guy's trying a little too hard to be funny At least that's how I see it.

eric3579says...In Dayton, Ohio, citizens are upset over an incident where a blind woman, Denise Harris, 49, suffering from cancer was tasered by police — apparently while she was on the floor. The police insist that they needed to taser her “to control her hand movement.”
Family and neighbors insist that they told police that she was sick and was afraid. The initial police statements indicate that she was hit with the taser to facilitate cuffing — a very problematic rationale.
The police were reportedly trying to arrest Harris’ son on suspicion of robbery when things got ugly. In fairness, police often face hostile relatives in arrest situations, but it remains unclear why a taser was needed to be used for cuffing a blind cancer-victim (who is also suffering from diabetes).
