Officer Tases 76 Year Old South Carolina woman
Officer Tases 76 Year Old South Carolina womanThis South Carolina woman was prohibited from visiting a local nursing home. She showed up anyway and refused to leave. When police got there, she resisted and ended up getting tased by a female officer. I imagine this case is going to raise alot of controversy. There are research studies pointing to both the dangers and the safety of police using tasers. In a situation like this, do you think the officer was justified? Click here for the full article |

tasers are to be used in lieu of firearms - you may not believe that a 76 year old anything can be threatening, but you have no idea what it is like to be a police officer, someone who is to uphold the law and see that it is followed, no matter how ludicrous - you may think it wrong what happened in this article, but if someone is being beligerent, defying orders and resisting, those are grounds for taser use - my oponion - so shoot me!
What did the old lady do to warrant being Tased, other than show up when she wasn't supposed too? Why was there a use of force?
I agree but its saturday now so I had better go
Tasers are supposed to be a less lethal way of subduing somebody; an alternative to shooting them. I can't imagine it being very difficult to subdue a 76 old woman and I'm sure that the officers involved did not feel threatened.
These things have been causing controversy all over the place. A kid was tasered in Florida recently. But, in general, they seem to work and are better than guns to limit the damage done.
