the old man got probation? did you even read the article?

A 67-year-old grandmother who was shocked with a Taser stun gun after she honked her car horn at a police cruiser has been given a year's probation for sparking a quarrel with officers.
these days? you mean these days of tyranny? oh well, let's just accept it i guess.

Grandmother who was Tasered gets probation

Why do they have to put "grandmother" in the title of this article? Do grandmothers have more rights, or deserve more sympathy, than non-grandparents?

Because "Cranky Old Bitch Gets Tasered" doesn't pull at the heartstrings like sweet ol' granny does.

EXACTLY!!!! Here's part of the article that I apparently did'nt read. But if this was posted how would you bust nuts on an American institution?

Officer Cory LeMoine said he told Jones he could give her a ticket for honking the horn, and that a physical confrontation began after she wouldn't show him her driver's license. He said he and his partner struggled with Jones both inside and outside her house. The officers said that while VanDeusen was trying to handcuff her, Fred Jones came down the stairs and leveled his shoulder into him.

Fought with her inside and outside the house.....hmmmmmm? Why didn't the cops just buy her some yarn and ask to have a fuckin sweater knitted? Maybe the sweet ol' grandmother could knit a little taser holder for the police man!

fuck the old grandma...she just got what she deserved i guess.

score one for the slaves that we get the privilege of being tasered for accidentally honking in the direction of a royal imperial guard.

Ah, yes... we should show respect to the royal imperial guards and our masters, right? Well... I got to go now, one of the masters has summoned me.
Bye!

the cops had 3 options after the decision to arrest her had been made.

a) taser her with some pain for about 10 seconds, with usually NO lasting effects.
b) wrestle with a fragile old lady and likely hurt her, being sued for millions.
c) shoot her in the head... many many lasting injuries.

Take your pick.

I just wanted to point out the one line everyone keeps ignoring when supporting their point.....

"The Jones disputed the officers' account. Louise Jones and other defense witnesses said she wasn't confrontational and that the comments she made were directed to a friend, not to the officers.

"She says something to the neighbor across the street and the officer didn't like that," said defense attorney Basil North. "He decided he was going to teach her a lesson."


.....Note the key line.....the cops are apparently in the wrong, but hey cops have lied before about beating a man half to death havent they . But nawwww it must be the crabby old lady because we all know how dangerous they are....

p.s. Yocass what do you think is going to happen to the old lady if they taser her she's magically going to stay standing up? She's less likely to get hurt being held then being shocked unconscious and crashing to the pavement......Either way she can sue....

And I believe that you missed the part where both are now on probation. Wonder what they did to get that?

[weirdo79]

Resisting wrongful arrest is still resisting arrest so quite possibly that. However I missed nothing as I was only pointing out some people were ignoring the key point the defense has "other" witnesses.....(the sad aspect of life is police officers are granted special credibility simply because of their profession when in retrospect its actually a rather inane practice and completely prejudicial)

Reciting the entire thing would have been pointless.....I didnt say at anytime or even infer the old folks did absolutely nothing wrong (but now come to think of it resisting a wrongful arrest in my honest opinion is completely within someones rights....well if they don't live in a dictator led country of course ) But hey if you gotta jump on anything you can possibly infer negatively to your opinion you go right ahead maybe I'll even get one of your patented "bwa's" if im lucky
