Have they checked this guy for Alzheimer’s? Seems like that might be the case. SOME elderly can be just mean though.

REALLY???? Common sense has taken a vacation... handcuffing elderly and treating them as THREATS??? Completely over the top... disgusting.

How many times did the officer have to taser him to get his cane away?

An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule.
The old man headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat.
He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, Hey old man, have you ever danced?
The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, No, I never did dance
never really wanted to.
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, Well, you old fool, youre gonna dance now, and started shooting at the old mans feet.
The old prospector not wanting to get a toe blown off started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.
The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately.
The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening.
The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.
The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old mans hands, as he quietly said, Son, have you ever licked a mules ass?
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, No sir
but Ive always wanted to.
There are a few lessons for us all here:
Never be arrogant.
Dont waste ammunition.
Whiskey makes you think youre smarter than you are.
Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
Dont mess with old men; they didnt get old by being stupid.
Too old to take an a** whippin' so he'll just kill ya.

If the old timer screamed louder outside,then he didn’t “scream as loud as he could” inside. The writer is a nitwit as well as the deputy.

“As the deputy grabbed his arm and placed him in handcuffs, he reported the suspect put the cane in his other hand and began hitting him in the leg with the cane while yelling and cursing.”
