Another Cop Failure - 72 Year Old Woman Tasered During Routine Traffic Stop

By admin on Taser

[via Hot Air]

Hot on the heals of our recent post about Ohio cops practically sexually assaulting a woman in a prison cell after she called 911 for help, here is another vile example of police stupidity and failure.

In the video below, a cop Tasers a 72 year old woman because he was too stupid to figure out another way to deal with her combative behavior.

And before a bunch of former and current cops jump in to defend the officer on the grounds that he was following procedure, we would kindly ask if they believe there is anything wrong with procedures that lead to this outcome.

We have a tremendous amount of respect for law enforcement and the difficult work they are tasked with, but we can hardly believe that the police have no better method of dealing with a belligerent senior citizen in a routine traffic stop then to Taser her.

Letting it come to this is the result of the cop's failure, regardless of the old lady's nonsense.
