The headline could read "Escaped Lunatic Tasered After Swinging Axe at Officer" and Pisshead would have a problem with it. After all, they shouldn't be a cop if they can't get an axe weiding psycho under control without a taser. That's just the Pisshead we all know and love. Shouldn't suprise anyone.

Bottom line is that no matter how it ended up the cops were going to get blamed for this one. What if they wresteled with the old woman and she broke her hip? What if they just popped her in the jaw? I agree that the police need to be restrained with their use of tasers but from what I have seen, in at least 95% of cases the "victim" could have prevented it by simply not resisting. It's like suing McD's because you got fat eating their food. people need to take responsibilty for their own stupidity instead of pointing the finger at others.
