When he uses the Taser, does he yell out "TASER!"

Now we know what happens when the unstoppable grandma meets the immovable police officer.

Grandma got tased by the pigs coming home from our house, Christmas. Eve

Oh sure they can tase black people and Muslim college students, but now they are fucking with the wrong people. Old white people have nothing to do but vote, talk about politics at coffee clutch, and write cheques to their favourite party. Next time this cop meets her, he may be asking which toppings she wants on her sub.

Jesus Fucking Christ, what a fucking piece of shit.
And is it just me or do completely asinine taserings like this seem to only happen in the South?

catpenis27 - 2010-10-19 People get tased constantly in California. Or shot. Whatever gun like object is closer to his free hand.

Not just grandma, great-grandma. I can't say I'm a fan of 72-year-old drivers, but come on. It isn't pepper spray, and heart problems are more likely than not at that age.
Nothing will happen to him, because it's the procedure that's fucked up, and for that to change you need politicians with balls.
If she's smart she'll join the chorus of wrongful tasing lawsuits and get something for her trouble while putting some pressure on Austin to better explain to their cops what in their arsenal is and isn't a toy (none of it).

After she's tased and cuffed, she jumps INSTANTLY back up, free from cuffs and is again telling the cop she's going back to her car.
Young people should learn something from that never-give-up spirit.

Y'know, this is the rare moment where I'm going to come down on COMPLETELY the opposite side I normally do.
He warned her three times that he would tase her. She didn't listen. He tased her. Seems reasonable to me. Just because she's old doesn't mean she doesn't have to obey a lawful command.

pastorofmuppets - 2010-02-18 I'd go even further and say that they shouldn't use it except in cases where they'd ordinarily use a gun.
But most departments are not so strict; many allow its use in all cases where the person is considered a "danger," without regard for age, health, or other factors that would allow one person to handle being electrocuted better than another.

pastorofmuppets - 2010-02-19 The fact that she wasn't listening doesn't automatically justify anything beyond an arrest. Use of force is dealt with separately, AFAIK, and is justified later according to common law regarding self-defense.
Again, I just think tasers should be used a lot less than they are currently, and they shouldn't be used outside of what can be considered healthy adults.
And I guess there's just this sense that, regardless of what the system allows, she's lived long enough that she shouldn't have to deal with shit like getting tased.
It sort of goes along with Patton Oswalt's bit about how if you're 100 you should be allowed to strangle people, because if they can't defend against it they deserve to die anyway.

You don't listen and do what the cop says you get tazered. If she had a heart condition then its on her for not following the officers directions. I'm an asshole, friends and family agree on that, but I've never been in a situation where I've almost been tazered because when confronted by a police officer I do what they tell me to, its really fucking simple. People bitch and moan about police brutality, but its not easy being a cop, you never know when something routine as a traffic stop is going to get you shot in the face. When at your faggot job, someone might try to shoot you every time you go to make copies I bet you wouldn't take any chances either. By the way check out the black college student getting arrested for threatening people and throwing things in class. CLASSIC.
