What would you IDIOTS do if someone Tasered your Mother?

He should have let her go and then showed up at her house, that does not make sense at all. As far as being a employee of the municipality has nothing to do with this so make up whatever excuse you want. What I believe in and have even before I worked with the City was that people should obey the law, that is what common sense is and compassion. The cop is suppose to use common sense but the lady doen’t have to use common sense or compassion. You should really think about what your saying and have some common sense about it. Use of force would have been worse with this lady then the taser which only keeps you subdued for 5 seconds. People don’t scream like she did which made it seem ten times worse. She says that she did not do anything wrong and did not argue and cuss at the officer but look who is hiding out in there house now that the video came out. Maybe people should do a little research on being tased and what its all about before they say its violent and not right. I still stand by what I say and the funny thing is so do my friends and family who do not even work for the municipality. We can probably argue about this for a year and still disagree with each other because you have your opinion and I have mine.

Kizzy- He could have let the old bat go, and then visited her at her house. There are a million ways to handle this without being violent. But given that you are an employee of a municipality, your response is not surprising.

The fact is the 72 year old woman was 100% in the wrong and deserves to have her license pulled.

The fact is the cop did not need to tase her. He chose to. Perhaps if all city workers like yourself and this cop, showed a slightly stronger mix of common sense and compassion, people wouldn’t be so reflexively predisposed to think the worst of you, dreading any potential contact with municipal authority they might encounter, regardless how innocent.

Thanks for reading Founding Bloggers!

I cannot believe some of you people. It DOES not matter what age you are when it comes to obeying the law… Most of you know nothing about tasing and maybe you should learn a little. I was tased in a citizens academy class to learn more about police work and what they go through, and no I do not want to be a Police Officer because I am a Administrative Assistant at City Hall. When you are tased it is for 5 seconds and that is all. If he had used force she would have had bruises all over her and he could have hurt her by using force. Tasers were brought into Police Departments for the purpose of being able to use something that would be safer but effective on people who DO NOT obey the law and act like that woman. She has no right to treat a Police Officer the way she did and I certainly would not want her to be the grandmother of my children because she has set a poor example for other people in this Country. Also if you watched the video the Police Officer tried to reach out to keep her from going back to her truck and she still protested so was he suppose to tackle her. Get real all of you because I am so sick of the Police getting a the bad rap for people like this lady who think they can get away with everything. Yea there are some bad Police out there but this officer does not deserve that kind of treatment. I do not understand this country anymore and the way people think. It doesn’t matter how he handled it because it would be wrong to all of you simply because she was 72 years old. Just because there old doesn’t mean they can do whatever they want.

“When you have some BALLS and can do the job STEP UP! Then you can question why it lead to that outcome.”

That officer wasn’t even a man, neither was his boss. If he had any courage or self control he wouldn’t have even thought of doing that. People that talk like the above are not men either. Wait until you get old, bub, getting old ain’t for sissies.

This is still a free country, whether cops like it or not. An intelligent and controlled (himself) person could have easily subdued this old lady. The officer is a fool, immature, hot-headed and ignorant. The lady is lucky to have not had her face shot off in light of whom she was dealing with.

try hitting the ground with the force of a large officer coming down on top of you also, and don’t forget the manipulation of hands, arms, and nerve endings to force compliance.

I think my feather tickle idea above is the right one apparently.
