Re: Taser used on 72 yr. old Granny...

Me thinks there must be more to this than meets the eye.

First: What is a deputy constable? Is it city or county or court? He wouldn't be doing a traffic stop as a part of his daily duties in this county. He delivers warrants. That's almost like a traffic stop by a Park Ranger of Border Patrol for speeding. There are probably 30 LEO departments in Travis Co. already that make a living off of writing speeding tickets.

Second: I only saw the 20 seconds that the Austin evening news let us see. Not enough info to even warrant a good opinion.

Third: Why is the woman out of the car on the highway? Every time I've tried to get out of the car the LEO's freak out (in the OLD days it was good manners to to stop, turn off the car and get out and meet them behind the car) and now tell you to get back in the car.

Fourth: The woman was very bad mannered. I'm not sure how illegal that is. Obviously, it must be illegal to hack off a deputy constable using words.

Fifth: The LEO was not very well mannered either. He bullied her out of the road. I was offended. No matter the rude woman, he bodily bumped her using his pot gut to get her behind the car. He made initial contact. That was uncalled for on his part. He could have used words and politely asked her to move rather than provoke her even more. It was just a traffic stop for speeding....not a felony robbery stop......just to fill someone's government coffers.

Sixth: It was a poor example of a traffic stop aggravated by cheesy news reporting with too little info trying to stir up viewers and trouble.

These things just upset me on both sides of thought..... :headscratch
