Would you have tased this 72 yr old woman?

[Shiv]

I didn't see the justification, that being said, the video was not complete so I don't have an informed opinion.  Now I think he might have been trying to get both of them out of the road by his actions, personally, being a non LE type, I would have let her stand by the road and let the video and audio record my trying to get her to move and let her roll the dice with the traffic.

However, the actions of the woman were deplorable,and stupid.  In recognition of what Timothy posted, I am not going to act the fool around someone who has a loaded gun and other "instruments of compliance" hanging off his belt.  You really don't know what kind of day this guy had.

If this woman could see the cops life over the past 24 hours, what could it have been?  Maybe he is a functioning alcoholic who is still a little drunk.  Maybe being a little drunk makes him pissed off, or because he found the dog had chewed his holster, the cat crapped in his shoes, he was passed over for promotion, his ex-wife just won a huge alimony decision because his wife had a snake of a lawyer who was hired by his evil ex-mother-in-law.  Who by the way looks like YOU, YOU 72 YEAR OLD HAG!!!  AHHHHHHH!  BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Click... (reloading sounds) BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!... well, you get the idea.  Cops are human too, if you are smart, you never forget that just because they are trained doesn't mean they don't have the capability to divert from that training in a split second.

Let's be safe out there!

Mother in law?

"Dont tase me, sonny!"

Mother in law?

In my case Zap her,....


But in this case, the LEO could have been more patient, the ticket was written, she didn't have to sign it. The ticket is going to be filed anyway and its out of the LEO's hands after that.

You can treat a mouthy 19 year old like that, but a 72 year old woman?

Here's your copy ma'am, drive safely, and have a nice day. (Whether she signed it or not)...

First  why did she have to get out of the car for a speeding ticket.. write it.. hand it to her and be gone.
And what was cut out of the video...........?

But he made her get  out. of the vehicle...
and she said "give me the f*&^ing thing and I'll sign it.. (she said it 2 times in fact)  and he pushed her... then SCREAMED at her....
that is when I wanted to drive his nuts up around his fat throat!
She was 72 for gods sake.. and he had 200 lbs on her....She wasn't a convicted felon.. she was only speeding..

You don't have to have a signature on a damned ticket! Give it to her.. if she tears it up.. it is her fines and penalties...

Yes I would of tased her, because the night stick leaves marks, in fact I might of zapped twice just for being a bitch.

[Teresa Heilevang]

You say bitch like its a bad thing... LOL

I can be a nice bitch or I can be a ....well..............maybe I don;t have to spell it out.. 

[tombogan03884]

I seldom get to deal with "nice" bitches. Depending on the day I had I might have emptied the tazer into the old battle axe.
Being edited as the video was we are NOT seeing the whole story, I suspect someone is trying to construct a "Rodney King retirement".

Here in Florida you have to sign the ticket or you go to jail.  Its the law here.

Here's another way of looking at it.  Would it have made the news if the person being tased was a 25 year old man?

With the beligerence I saw on the video, I'd have tazed her too.  But I would not have pushed her.

Tased, Arrested with a resisting arrest charge, and Baker acted her for possible dimentia.

Old age does not exempt you from the law.

You dont know my in law.
