Raw: Texas cop Tasers 72 year old, great-grandmother

A traffic stop for speeding in a construction zone led to the tasering of a 72-year old great-grandmother by a Texas deputy. Kathryn Winkfein, 72, of Granite Schoals, Texas was then handcuffed, and taken away to jail for resisting arrest and detention.

The deputy said that when he asked Winkfein to sign the speeding ticket he issued, she refused, used profane language and became violent, at which point he tased her.

The great-grandmother admits to speeding, but denies the rest of the deputy's allegations, and has hired an attorney to represent her, she tells a Fox News reporter:

Winkfein showed FOX 7 her taser scars.

"Here and here. Two places, side by side. It's unreal. It's like an electric shock," she said.

"I wasn't argumentative, I was not combative. This is a lie. All of this is a lie, pulled away from him I did not," she said, reading the arrest affidavit.
Regardless, it's difficult to fathom how a speeding ticket evolved to the point where a trained law enforcement officer felt the need to jolt an elderly woman with a taser.

Fox News has requested a copy of the deputy's dashboard camera video recording of the encounter, but has not yet received a response.

Go fuck you're self, you deserved to be Tased prick. That huge cop could have easily grabbed her and cuffed her. He could have been a man and handled that with a little more digression. It wouldn't have been too hard to cuff her even if she was kicking a screaming. Shes a little old lady for fucks sake. Cops managed to do their jobs for years before Tasers were invented. Now they treat them like they are their own personal do whatever I say device. Disgusting!

I'm glad that old bitch got tased!!! She deserves it! She was warned and she continued to not comply! In fact, she chose to TRY to do whatever she wanted!

Everyone in America needs to go buy a tazer and shoot the first asshole in uniform that they see!

To all you pigs: Your disgusting. We dont appreciate a damn thing you do. As a matter of fact, we would appreciate it if you would took your service pistol and blew your brains out. You have a destabilizing affect on our community. You are responsible for tearing our families apart and bankrupting our nation. Your garbage, your scum, your not a cop because your special, your a cop because you have no skills, no education, and a small dick
