It's never the ones you want to see nude...

Let her swing, then move in and grab hold of the cane. You can take it from her in short order.
God we sure have a bunch of pussy cops these days.
What self-respecting 20-40 year old cop can’t take a cane from a frail 80 year old woman?
Why not just hit the woman with a hammer? Geez!

That's about it. Thunderzine is no longer needed though, with new generations of meds available.

Naked and 80 ? Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Police officers are not allowed to treat an 80-year old woman who is menacing them with a cane any differently than they treat a 19-year-old gang member who’s menacing them with a baseball bat.
If they treat the 80-year-old woman differently than the 19-year-old gang member, they risk being accused of racism.
Police are not allowed to use their judgement, lest they be accused of being “judgemental.”
Sorry, but that’s the way it is. We’re being forced to accept the lowest common denominator, and the lowest common denominator is getting lower and lower.

Oughta work just fine with a little old lady with a cane - don't think I'd use the third method though 'cause I wouldn't want to touch her. Yuck!

If she put some clothes on, she wouldn’t have to beat them off with her stick.

To: DoughtyOne
As a former (ret.) police officer, I find this disgusting. If I couldn’t take a cane away from an 80 old without using a Taser, I would have turned in my badge.

Got that right. When I was in corrections (all 145 strapping pounds of me) I routinely restrained larger, heavier inmates without clubbing or any such action.
Sometimes I think modern cops have a taser quota.
To: null and void
Sort of like like attempting to kill a flea with a sledgehammer. Just think of the centuries men have existed without tasers!
To: DoughtyOne
I'm with you!
Maybe these cops should go down to the local "Rent-a-Pair" for a fitting.

this pussy cop attitude comes from years and years of telling the cops that their job is not to stop crime at the risk of getting their liddle bitty selves hurt...
didn't we all learn from Littleton??....
we need to go back to having a sheriff and a volunteer posse....

I’m with the cops. Now way am I going to grapple with a naked 80-year-old woman. I’m not Laz.

I’ll have to admit if I was the cop I wouldn’t want to “wrestle” with her either.

There was no excuse or necessity for using a taser on this woman.
At her age in her obvious ill health, it could be very dangerous.
If multiple officers cannot subdue an 80 year old woman, clothed or not, they’re pretty pitiful.
