Another Pathetic Cop Story

Geez hard to believe we keep hiring cops that are emotionally at the level of 4 year olds.

Texas cop Tasers great-grandmother



A traffic stop for speeding in a construction zone led to the tasering of a 72-year old great-grandmother by a Texas deputy. Kathryn Winkfein, 72, of Granite Schoals, Texas was then handcuffed, and taken away to jail for resisting arrest and detention.

The deputy said that when he asked Winkfein to sign the speeding ticket he issued, she refused, used profane language and became violent, at which point he tased her.

The great-grandmother admits to speeding, but denies the rest of the deputy's allegations, and has hired an attorney to represent her, she tells a Fox News reporter:

Winkfein showed FOX 7 her taser scars.

"Here and here. Two places, side by side. It's unreal. It's like an electric shock," she said.

"I wasn't argumentative, I was not combative. This is a lie. All of this is a lie, pulled away from him I did not," she said, reading the arrest affidavit.

Regardless, it's difficult to fathom how a speeding ticket evolved to the point where a trained law enforcement officer felt the need to jolt an elderly woman with a taser.

Fox News has requested a copy of the deputy's dashboard camera video recording of the encounter, but has not yet received a response.

Big bad cop tasering a 72 year old lady. They grow them big in Texas. Idiots and abusive individuals. :mad: I really find it hard to believe she was speeding unless the posted speed limit was 25 and granny was flying at 24 mph like they do in Seattle!!! :jointsmile:

He tazed Yoda. :) The Hill Country of Texas does grow some mean-ass memaws. :)

The elderly people here commonly believe they should have a different set of laws. We even have a law passed a few years ago that when you are 62 the tax district can no longer increase the taxable value of your real estate!!!

But isn't there a better way to keep a granny in line than using a tazer?

It could have very well killed her. Quite a few people have already died from tazing. Just seems like cops are such idiots now. Geez can't control a 72 year old lady? He needs to find another line of work like maybe doing pedicures.

Saw this one the other day. I was really hoping the economy would get bad enough they'd just have to lay all the cops off. And they'd have to go find a real job.

Yeah, but police are different from regular workers, because their employer is a government body and they force everyone to buy their services, unlike regular business where you can quit buying from them if you want to.

Double post ooops. Oh and I love some of the comments about how "You don't know what he said" lol like it matters. Since when can you say something illegal? Well, there are laws about threats and inciting violence, but it's obviously not credible that a cop in a car would be seriously threatened by a guy on foot who doesn't even have a shirt on. Where is he hiding a weapon? And wouldn't getting out of the car render you more susceptible to any sort of threat? And why did the cop initiate contact with the guy to start with? Pigs are always piggy. We need more police like the woman there, who looks like she is telling her partner to stop it. And how much backup does the lazy f**ker need? Over 9000!! More cops like him = DO NOT WANT.
