I base my comment on US law a history is at the link

Your example of one doesn’t change the law. Just like all the folks in California fornia who don’t speak English only whatever form of Mexican they speak

Tasering an 87 year old woman? That’s ridiculous.

“Why didn’t the cops get a translator?”

There are approximately 350 languages used in the U.S. Would you know what language was being spoken if you don’t speak their language they don’t speak yours? I don’t think it’s as easy as you think. I also don’t think the police have 350 translators standing by. Would you recognize Punjabi if you heard someone speaking it?

They speak before they know the facts. There is a lot missing in this story and people come to conclusions ignorantly. Her circumstances were never explained.

“I don’t want people to come to America who refuse to assimilate”

What does that have to do with tasing an 87yr old woman?

“...after she was seen walking around with a knife near her home,...”

NUFF SAID!

Before I taze you ... can I see ID, how old are you, do you like salad, have you ever been in a mental institution, how far can you walk, promise me that you and your knife are not a threat to the children, are you refusing my commands because you don’t speak english or you are deaf or are you just defying my authority and intend to stab me? Oh, are you on PCP?

Just like searching old ladies in wheelchairs at airports.

A VERY GOOD place to hide a BOMB!

Most of us are not afraid of an 87yr old woman with a knife. Especially with a baton and a vest on.

And in a group of 3.

But hey, who am I to judge another’s fear?

Chatsworth officers threatened by an 87yr old woman who could barely walk...from a distance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What a goofy thing to say.

What if I racked a round into a 12 gauge?

Does that translate universally enough?

Better than hitting her with thorazine like a bear and sacking her up to release her into another part of the forest.

I don’t live on the internet like you apparently do. You can make your own decisions on what I think. I really don’t give a damn.

“Police Chief Josh Etheridge, speaking to the Daily Citizen-News, defended his officers’ actions, saying the woman should have complied even if she didn’t understand English.”

I think they’ve been recruiting at the shallow end of the pool.

If the woman was spanish, they would have been able to communicate with her.

If America accepts foreigners from every corner of the world and not enforce them to know a hint of English, then America should be able to provide translators.

Press 1 for English.
