I believe this one was settled out of court with the granny recieving $70,000 in compensation. The Federal Courts are telling cops to keep their tasers in their pants, too.

Now that's a bunch of BS. That woman got what she deserved. The job of the police is to Protect and Serve. She was acting in anger (which unarguably clouds judgment) moving towards traffic and towards the officer in a hostile manner. It's Texas, she could very well have been packing heat. Being old doesn't excuse being a moron; quite the contrary, it makes being a moron even more offensive. If she's 72 years old and hasn't learned to respect the man with the gun yet, she's never going to. Obviously being taken down in a humane manner hasn't taught her shit. $70,000 settlement? So much for Don't Mess with Texas. -Mike
"What would you do if this was your grandmother?" I have a counter question what would you do if she ran over your child, parent or brother/sister and killed or seriously injured them? A car doing 60 in a 45 mph zone = dangerous driving. she was only tasered when she resisted arrest she is still alive. Fortunately she did not kill anyone but she could have so I have 0 sympathy for her. peace and love han
