Nice try douche. Words mean things and you are a moron and granny is an old bitch. You can try to deflect her vile behavior by attacking others and it probably works for you on little kids. But it doesn’t work on me. The coarsening of America started with her refusal to simply sign the promise to appear and escalated into absurdity when she resisted arrest. And your defense of her despicable behavior is disgraceful.

Sorry for your dis-ease pal, but screaming, smackdowns, and electroshock of grannies over traffic violations, is not a hallmark of America. The ongoing coarsening of the culture, as evidenced by thuggish LEOs and loudmouths like you, will never define what this country stands for. Courage Granny, go get your money!

“Let’s Roll”

Here’s a little thing you should have picked up earlier in life: it doesn’t help to lie when all evidence points against you.

No excuses, old bag. You should have gone to jail. And been pepper sprayed.

Welcome to the real Me generation.

I hope you liked being tased, Granny. If the cop says, “sign this,” sign it. If you ask to be arrested, don’t be an idiot and resist arrest.

Moron. No, “moron” would be a compliment for her. Watching that video, I admit, I probably would have lost my patience a lot sooner than that poor officer and just whipped out the pepper spray. But that’s in a world dominated with common sense–a world completely foreign to this lady.

He’s the martyr in this situation, folks. Not an imbecile like her.

You are a F**KING idiot. Ask yourself if that woman was acting normally. No she wasn’t. That may mean she was experiencing some sort of dementia and should not be driving.

The old bitch was acting irrational and the officer probably saved her life by tasing her.

You morons whom are excusing this woman’s behavior as some sort of justifiable brave stand against the system are seriously deranged. She is either suffering from a mental condition or she is an anti-social loon. Either way, he saved her from serious injury.

Losing control of your muscles and falling while being electrocuted with 50,000 volts then having an officer put your hands into cuffs is somehow better than having an officer put your hands into cuffs? Bizarro world.

Did you even watch the video? She slowly fell to the ground. And a few days later she was sitting in the comfort of her home lying to her community about the events of that day.

He would not broken her arm, SHE would have by resisting. Which she clearly did in the video.

Jaibones on June 10, 2009 at 4:03 PM

So you are advocating the officer break the law?

So any person who refuses to sign should be let go?

Or do we only let old people go?

What age is the cut off? 70? 60?

How do we apply equal protection with that policy?

Should the officer be held liable if it is determined that the person he let go was mentally impaired and not simply having a bad day?

But the taser was over the top and you know it
He could have detained her without the taser
And the law does not say to tase argumentative old people
When you get tazed at age 72 I will still say it is wrong

I do not think it was over the top. And as was shown in the video, she was not going to be appeased. You claiming that there was another tactic the officer could have used that would have worked is pure speculation on your part and assumes the officer has some sort of super power that would turn her into a complacent zombie. He was simply doing his job respectfully and she popped a cork on him. So you see, he did it the way you say he should have and it didn’t work. He is not a magician nor does he have the power of mind control.

And as it has been pointed out, the tasing was safer for her than forcing her arms behind her back. Which he did attempt, but fortunately stopped. She would have broken her arm or caused herself some other serious injury resisting him.

But no, being a fascist totalitarian thug he needed to enforce the law to it’s utmost limit, which obviously included electrocuting a 72 year old unarmed woman.

So what happened dorian? Why do you hate cops? Did you get turned down for a job in police work? Did one beat you up? Did a cop bang your girl?

Which is it?

Try keeping in mind the fact that the Nazi’s, the Stasi, the KGB all of the most repressive evil organizations in human history honestly believed that they were upholding the law of their countries. Not for one single second did they think of themselves as evil men raping and plundering their fellow citizens.

They were Law Enforcement Officers lawfully executing the legal statutes of their respective nations. Next time you put that badge on remember, its the exact same profession as the Gestapo, The Stasi and the KGB, and your mindset is exactly the same as theirs was. Enforce the LAW.

So are you trying to say that anyone who writes is doing the same thing as Hitler when he wrote Mein Kampf? Or anyone who owns a gun is like that evil person who killed that security guard at the Holocaust Memorial with a shotgun today?

Your logic = fail.

Losing control of your muscles and falling while being electrocuted with 50,000 volts then having an officer put your hands into cuffs is somehow better than having an officer put your hands into cuffs? Bizarro world.

This guy gives good cops a bad name, but so does other cops saying “Oh he was completely justified, in fact I’d break my mother’s jaw if she did that!” Why is it so hard to acknowledge that pumping an old woman full of electricity was not the best course of action in that situation?

The Deputy is in a no win situtation.

No this Gestapo officer made the situation what it was. All that he needed to do was give granny a warning and walk away. But no, being a fascist totalitarian thug he needed to enforce the law to it’s utmost limit, which obviously included electrocuting a 72 year old unarmed woman.

What if that Deputy had just let her drive off, looked like a lot more construction going on, with her already upset, that really could have caused a problem. I know I would have been upset if she went on down the road and caused injury to someone in my family that may have been working there or driving. Now if he had grabbed her, you would have said look at the 300lb. Deputy manhandling that little old lady. The Deputy is in a no win situtation.

ahkjr33 on June 10, 2009 at 4:32 PM

You seem quite upset AH, you better not drive or you might drive through my town and drive into my driveway and drive through my garage, out the back wall, and hit my Labrador retriever.

This Deputy Sheriff was right and he did protect this elderly citzen from further harm. I think the court system should protect her and us from further harm also, by taking away her privilege to drive, thank god she didn’t swerve a little in that construction zone and kill a few construction workers. Thanks Deputy….

ahkjr33 on June 10, 2009 at 3:58 PM

The officer deserves a medal.It was obvious that this woman was a danger to herself. The officer bravely used his donut induced 300 lbs to shove the criminal out of danger, then difused the situation by by bravely zapping her with 50,000 volts. Thank God for the bravery this officer showed in bringing down this ruthless criminal.

This is out of control. Let the lady drive away and note that she refused to sign the damn ticket, sir. This isn’t some little fiefdom of yours; you enforce traffic laws, douchebag.

AMEM
Texas ROT rally starts tomorrow!

My Mom would have more class than Granny. And she agrees Granny got what she deserved.

Not surprising that the “apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”! Any SOB who would advocate a woman having her jaw broken, because she speaks up, earns no respect from me, with or without fish! As for your lame “psychologist” retort, yes, as a Psychologist I have counseled many men, including LEOs who suffer from their uncontrolled agressive behaviors. Happily retired now though, “youngster”, just getting a kick out of watching twits like you, and dsteven make fools of yourselves.
