Your link has teh fail. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/06/10/dnt.tx.grandma.tasered.kvue This has 100% more hot news woman as well. And yes, if you don't comply with an officer you run the risk of being restrained by whichever method they deem necessary. I'm betting she'd prefer the taser to either mace or getting wrestled down by that guy. I've seen Clydesdales that were smaller...and wresting anyone down next to a busy freeway isn't usually conducive to a long and happy lifestyle.
I'm pretty sure if you were to line up the older supervisor in the video into a good headwind that he could probably lift off. He can probably also pick up a whisper at a couple hundred yards...
This video is proof that a-holes get old too. Just because she is 72 doesn't make her a "sweet old lady". He could have clubbed her or he could have put her in an arm bar and slammed her into the vehicle or on the ground. He didn't break nuthin'! This was the nicest thing he could have done in that situation. She should get tased once a day for 9 days just for mouthing off. :biggthumpup:
