Her age isn't the issue. Her protestations of innocence (she isn't) is not the issue.
The issue is that she is small of stature and the constable could have simply grabbed her wrist, slapped some cuffs on her and thrown her butt in jail, where she clearly belongs.
I would have said the same if this was some 30-yr old dude who was short and thin. Just because a person is acting badly doesn't give the police permission to use more force than is necessary.
The cop was a 'Taser instructior and had no prior use of force issues. But, I gues it must be so frustrating to be teaching others how to use it, and have no outlet yourself for this wonderful weapon. Enter a 72-year old woman. (well not lieterally).
@TechsArcana the full dash cam video witch i have watch show at the beginning that he tried this in witch she pulled away and at the same time pushing him in to the road that when he when he dropped the cuffs and went for the tazer really wish these video would show it all
The elderly age should not matter i hate police officers. but in this case he was doing his job the lady didnot coperate she was very disrespectful and rude she got what she deserve
This old woman is a liar. She at 1st said she did nothing wrong...Then all of a sudden the police tape came out and she shut up. Cop was right to Taser her. The woman was acting like a bitch. If it were a dude I woulda wanted the officer to smack him a few times then taser his ass.She disrespected the PO.If she obeys the officer she gets a simple speeding ticket and is sent on her way. Now she has to not only pay her speeding ticket she could spend up to 1 year in jail for resisting arrest
Listen... YES, she was a feisty old lady. Yes, she may have pushed the cops buttons. What people are OVER LOOKING is that this WHOLE fiasco could have been avoided if the cop wanted to. He could have just wrote "refused to sign" on the ticket and sent the obvious distraught grandma on her way and they would have had their day in court end of story. Instead the cop chose to strong arm her which was completely unnecessary.
The officer abused his duty as a peace officer. He could easily handle the subject without this type of force, for a 70 something year old this could be considered deadly force. They need to remove tasers from police officers. Pepper spray is a suitable weapon. Pepper spray in this case would have been unnecessary. You can see the officer easily control her with a simple push. Why didn't he just handcuff her. Idiot with a badge.
I don't get why the so many are in defense of the old hag. She was insubordinate, hostile, and disobedient. Anyone else would have been dropped the FIRST time they tried to push the cop.
People say that because she's 72, she wasn't a threat and he could have restrained her without force. Strange, I didn't realize that old age made you less of a threat. Neither did the 88 year old who shot up the holocaust museum, nor the 72 year old man who beat down the 22 year old who tried to pick-pocket him.
How was the cop to know if she had a weapon or not? They way she kept pushing up on him and acting hostile, I would be worried that she was trying to get to his gun. I believe the officer was completely justified in his use of less-than-lethal force.
Maybe I'm just calloused for thinking that, if you try to fight a cop, you're stupid and deserve what comes to you. Save the fighting for the courtroom.
Lets not forget his boss defending this abuse, what did you expect....probably he enjoy it as well. She should file a complaint at the nearest FBI office for civil rights violation, his boss included.
These big fat coward mother f asshole run like hell when the odds are even, I saw a lot of these pigs run in Viet-Nam under fire. I hope he pays for this abuse, there was obviously no need to taser.
He is not supposed to taser someone for not following the rules. The taser is for self defence, it is not the police job to punish people or teach them lessons. He could easily have handcuffed her.
No he warned her she refused arrest. If it would've been a 40 yr old nobody would care but becuase this cop is sticking to the rules no matter who the person is idiots such as yourself has to make a big deal! Also she was being a cunt from the beggining so shut the fuck up she got what she deserved!
o thanks stupid ass. I'm 15 and no the law and if you watch the whole video! She was being a cunt and diserved it like i said if it would've been a 40 yr old doing the same thing nobody would say a single thing she's the disgrace and she desreves to go to jail. i'm done with you're stupid bitch ass because you're an idiot so get over the fact that a cop is following the rules!!!
He could have tried to arrest her physically. However since this was occurring at the side of the road and after seeing the attitude of the 72 year old woman, tasing her may have saved her life.
The officer already had to guide her away from the traffic. Any further attempts to physically control her could have led to her running into the traffic.
Bullshit, If speeding makes you a crook than more than half of US citizens are crooks. and saying 'she could have ran into the traffic' is an assumption. and even if it did, it would be accidental. This brownshirt purposefully , after she said she would sign it, shoved and tased her.
Little Dummy meets Big Dummy with a taser. Little Dummy loses. If his taser had malfunctioned, I guess he would have shot her. This is an example of two wrong-heads make a mess.
Wow all of you sticking up for this pig are truly fucking cowards. He was twice her size for fuck sake!
