Theres always more to these stories than meets the eye....maybe she was in the wrong somehow

Perhaps more to the story,But doesn't matter imo,A 68 year old lady that is trying to walk out,Should be simple to manage for a trained police officer without using any type of force object,That's crazy imo,And he should be fired,He has no business being a police officer imo.

oh man...seeing the police and the lady,the lady is barely half his size. if she was resisting arrest he could just handcuff her and bring her calmly not using force such as that.

I'm quite sure there's another way the officer could of handled the situation... There's no need to use a taser gun on no 68yr old grandma. Someone should taser his @ss.

Theres always 2 sides to the story, sadly the stories the news shows are way out of porpotion... Atleast most of the time.

True, there is always two sides, But the bottom line is this 68 yr old women did not need to be tasered. and the officer should be Re-trained in the use of force.
And then fired. IMO of course

 

[Fewski]

Just because the lady is 68 years old doesn't mean anything. Yes, chances are she wasn't to strong but we don't know how strong or athletic she is...

And we don't know whether she pulled a weapon first. Gotta get both sides of the story before you blame the cops.
