taser worked!

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

you have a lady speeding on what was described as a particularly bad stretch of highway. who when pulled over had that much attitude and stupidity and you'd let her go?  why?  what would you say to the lawyers when granny killed someone with her driving? how would you rationalize letting her go? i'd love to see her driving record. do you imagine granny didn't know that you sign and then fight it in court?
granny might be too stupid to drive.  and truly an awful fibber

Here is another thought:  If you substitute a 24 year old man as a driver instead of an old grannie and have him acting the exact same way, does it still look the same?

notice granny lie  and her and the land shark both refuse to talk once the video was released

as far as why they didn't answer the door,   they got a settlment dependant upon certain conditions.

definetly a bad fibber.  but in the emt world if they are alert and oriented x 3 they are on there own.  i sometimes wish that stupidity were the basis for denying a free right of passage.  keep the roads a lot safer.

this is the slippery slope of "one rule fits all".  even if it were the granny being the arresting officer and the 250 lb cop being the speeder?   the granny(deputy) could claim resisting arrest at the point the speeder yanked his arm away.  but at what point was the deputy threatened? why was the speeder taken from the car?

she hid months before the settlement  she was scheduled for another television fib fest  when the video was released earlier that day she hid  and understandably so.  she should move  change her name

evidently she was smart enough to finally shut her trap.  easy to see why the officer would want to taser her.   just still don't see that it was justified.

I've said it over and over in these threads about the foolish old woman.

She provoked a confrontation with the officer and then ignored his commands and was attempting to return to a deadly weapon. (i.e. her truck)

At that point, the officer can (1) taze her or (2) manhandle her and put her in cuffs.

To my mind (1) is the best choice.

Unless you think granny deserved a black eye and bloody nose and maybe a broken arm for resisting arrest. I suppose some people are that bloodthirsty.

How about locking a Tazer collar around every elected official's neck, and setting it to shock him daily when his approval rating falls below 50%?

Great idea, but the cost of replacement batteries would quickly exceed our GDP.

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

i think we can et private funding for all the batteries we need

[Perd Hapley]

Where do I go to donate to that fund?  Is there a special box I can check on my 1040?

Nah we can use nuclear batteries like the Soviets did in some of their pacemakers.
