If You Can't Handle a Great-Grandmother without 50,000 Volts, Maybe You Shouldn't Be a Policeman

A 72-year-old woman is pulled over for speeding, then tasered and sent to jail. Kathryn Winkfein says she drives to Austin about twice a month to do her shopping. But on a Monday afternoon, a Travis County Constable deputy pulled her over, on her way back to Granite Schoals.

"Due to being a construction zone, and workers being present," Pct. 3 Constable Richard McCain said, "it was 45, she was doing 60."

Winkfein admits she was speeding in the dangerous strip of Highway 71 and Bee Creek.

"He explained to her," Constable McCain said, "sign the ticket stub, it's not an admission of guilt. It's a promise to appear in court. She didn't want to. She said take me to jail."

Nice to know that are taxes are going to good causes, like tasing grandmothers, shooting kids in the head, funding terrorism, bailing out wall street, and supporting  human trafficking.

Proud to be an American!

He could have let her go and send her the ticket. He must have seen and noted the plates. Absolutely no need to take her in. Or taze her!

I got a ticket in a small town and what I did was boycott that cities businesses for about 4 months. and to this date I have only spent less than 20 bucks in that city. I got the ticket for doing the same speed as the rest of traffic was flowing. if I had done the speed limit I would have been putting others in danger when peeps tried to get around me in a work zone. (where no one was working lol)

If you can't control your own food intake, how can you hope to control your fellow citizens. The fact is that cops in america are angry little men and women who have something to prove. They do not serve the interests of the citizens. This is the american way...DO AS I SAY OR ELSE I WILL GET VIOLENT.
