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

Once the officer was committed to the arrest it would have been bad business to go back and say "well ok, since your gonna sign it now" She was only going to sign it to avoid being arrested. THe officer continued to tell her she was under arrest and she continued to be non compliant and was wondering around the area between the cars.

Suspect resisted arrest, was not injured, the officer was not injured, no property damage caused and the arrest was affected. Good Job!

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

Ok, I finally just watched the video and as much as there are different things he could of done I do not think him tasering the lady was wrong. Additionally, the belly bump to get her out of traffic..... well, again I think she brought it on herself. The signature on the ticket is a promise to appear, she refused to promise to appear so she deserved to get arrested. She also didnt need to be standing in traffic and once the officer decides to arrest her, she is in his custody and he is responsible. She was actively resisting the officer and even attempted to reenter her vehicle. I dont think I would of held out as long as the officer did. I probably would have tased her as soon as she started to walk towards the drivers door the first time.
