That'll teach her.

She'll realize now the police are to be obeyed.

OMG! that's horrible :angry:

The cool thing about our campus cops here is they won't give them a stun gun or taser gun unless they get stunned first so they know how it feels...

And they turned it into a fundraiser...you can bid on stunning the new cops

but i'm sure if you've been stunned before you just won't stun old ladies..hopefully

yeah, what i was thinking. just amazing, really.

cerebral assassin: that was cruel.

What was she thinking?

It's a 75 year old with ailing limbs.

Couldn't she have removed her with ease, or found a better way to rectify the situation?

A tazer is over-the-top. Not really excessive force under the rules, but still could have been avoided if the officer really cared to.

I think I'd rather be tazed than beat with a club... getting zapped ain't so bad... I've been popped with a cattle prod before... it's not so bad after you wake up.. I do it again... pissing on an electric fence on the other hand is something I'm only willing to try once... oh the joys of growing up in rural Georgia

I understand. I remember back when I lived there. I think all rural males have pissed on an electric fence. Once.

Once is okay. The ones you have to worry about are the repeaters. :bigsmile:

I know it actually did pretty well when they did it, but I can't remember how much money they actually got raised.

I was under the impression you got to be the one shootin' though
