First, she was not an offender. Second, the police manual specifically states that tasers are not to be used on senior citizens. And third, no one in their right mind would consider a woman of that caliber to be an imminent danger to two strapping police officers, or anyone else, given she was reported to have been in a room by herself. In this particular case, CB, I believe that even the armchair experts have every right to be outraged. There are also plenty of police and former police describing this incident as an outrage - according to news reports. Now let me ask you this: if it was your 95 year old great grandmother in this position, and you just happened to be in possession of a taser, would you shoot her with it, or would you find another less violent method?
