        For real... If this woman didn’t have a weapon,better yet within 2ft of the officer, what type of coward or psychopath would even contemplate hurting an elderly person. More evidence they are trained NOT to protect & serve but to oppress by using fear tactics

        Or the police could learn to not react as brutal thugs would.

        Do you know the horrors they see everyday? The rape of an infant, the killing of a mom? No you don't know. They are called peacekeepers for a reason.

        The police and the chief that backed what they did should all be fired.

        On the surface this looks very ugly, but we don't know the whole story and what led up to the taser incident. I need to know those facts before I come to any conclusions.

        Unnecessary use of force. A little common sense would have been better

        What a horrible lack of judgment. Not even a question training but human judgment.
