Maniacal power-starved loon of an Officer arrests and tazers a 68 year old woman for "daring" to honk her horn when he is blocking her driveway.. her husband comes out to 'save her', and he is also arrested and jailed for 'assault'. Will anybody say "Serves them right.. throw them in the gulag!"?

Eh, she was probably hard to handle, like the nine year old they tasered last month....

I think the officer needs to be relieved of duty, that is duty unbecoming an officer.
I know on another thread the people were considered dumb for the whole family getting arrested, and maybe they were, but there is a whole group of police officers who have no business where they are! Criminal Justice is my field and I teach future police officers, this is criminal of the officer in my view!!

I don't know, the woman sounds like my MIL.
I'd give anyone a metal if that person would tazer her when she gets b!tchy.

Seems they both over-reacted. But you just don't hit a cop. You don't even touch him. Most are understanding and can put things in perspective, but you always fine one (like here) who just loves to exert power. And
BTW, just cause she's 68 doesn't mean she's frail. I haven't seen a photo, but I've seen some old ladies who would chase down and beat up a pursesnatcher.

Oh, and the taser is definitely overdoing it.

According to the article, she
pulled away I don't construe that as "hitting."
But of course, I don't know the whole story... I don't think she would hit an officer either.
just my thoughts...

Well, she's probably one of those Terrorist Grannies they're always harassing at the airport.
I'm sure she had it coming.

I'll bet that this is the same old lady that is thoroughly searched for explosives at the airport. Surely she fits the profile....oh wait, they don't profile at airports.

A he-said she said. Police say she did hit him. She says she didn't.

What about the 80 year old grandmother and the 60 year old daughter that were tasered lat month when the grandmother wouldn't let go of her little red wagon. As I recall the officers beat her until her fake eye popped out.
Maybe someone can find the link to that story.

The officer who used the Taser gun has been with the department four months. Unless he has some very convincing video of this, his career is over.
