be careful what you ask for

There are 1,001 buttons that give you what you want.
Just think of this as the one button that, when pushed, gives you what you probably deserve.

Did you know that Hurricanceheather didn't know what a defibrillator was?

On the other hand, he physically restrains her. He gets the *did he really have to resort to physical force? He could have broken her arm, or caused another injury, and at her age, those are harder to heal from. She's 72 years old for crying out loud.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. The only reasonable option given both of these scenarios would be to just let her go and move on. Of course, that's not reasonable at all. As Greg said, getting to a ripe old age does not give you the right to berate an officer.

If he didn't need to use his pistol, then he shouldn't have used his taser.

It is NOT a compliance weapon. It is a less lethal weapon.

So, I ask you. If he had pulled a gun on her, would you feel he was just as justified?

Well, see, AED's are yet another of those push-button solutions.
Wouldn't it be cool if he'd had to use that on her after the taser.
I shock you to death!
Now I shock you back to life!
I am SHOCK TROOPER!

*ps - Remind me not to have a heart attack around Heather.

Plain and simple folks, if you don't do what the cop asks you to, he WILL resort to some measure to make you comply with his request. That's the LAW people. Fuck the old bitch, she didn't comply and he used the best method he could think of at the time to make her.

News flash, don't like tasers or handcuffs, pepper spray, nightsticks????? Do what the cop askes you to do!!!! Otherwise learn to like getting tasered! I've never had a cop try to taser me at a traffic stop...I say yes sir, no sir, thank you sir. I've only been stopped when I was speeding and knew it. No argument there.

Hey! What does that have to do with anything? So I don't watch House or hang around emergency rooms.

I knew what it was, just not what it was called.

Nevermind...I'm dumb

"she a mean old bitch...."

You know those stories where the cops slap cuffs on a 5 year old and puts them in a police car?
This is one of those stories.

I cannot wait for videos of pregnant women and children getting tasered to start popping up

Taser were supposed to be an alternative to DEADLY force, not a cock stroker for lazy cops who have lost the ability to manage an event.

OOOOH BUT FUCKING HELL DO WE LIKE TO SEE SCUMBAGS GET ZAPPED. Fuck common sense or using a reasonable course of action as a guideline....
If they're annoying zap that motherfucker.

I can pretty much agree with that. "Buddy, you know that promotion you were hoping for? Well we'll get back to you in 2037."
