fatty fat fat ****

That’s terrible!

id have given her some too 😉

I agree, as she’s 72 years old, she should be allowed to do whatever she wants.

You beat me to it. How mad is that, he must be 4 times her size anyway.

Jail for him (I hope)

It was only speeding! 😉

that’s shocking

I’d have zapped her.

“Go ahead, Tase me,” she replied. “I dare you.”

She did dare him.

“If you don’t step back, you’re going to get Tased,” Mr Bieze said.

“Go ahead, Tase me,” she replied. “I dare you.”

bet she won’t use that line again 😀

He should have “tased” the camera first.

and that is why we have to be very careful about giving the police any additional powers in the UK.

im not being funny but if shed have given a bit less lip and done as asked (when being pulled over from breaking the law as it happens) she wouldnt have been zapped

pook and mick. we’re talking about tasering an old lady. not your sexual fanatsies. you’re wrong’uns

that n all 😉

“Constable Sgt. Maj. Gary Griffin has defended Mr Bieze’s actions and said that Mrs Winkfein was belligerent and difficult to handle.”

FFS, I hope he never has to manage a crowd over here – the national grid couldn’t cope with the overload!!

Unbelieveable footage to be fair!!! But then I guess unfortuantely we expect that from AMerican cops!

It might be part of her sexual fantasy, she didn’t seem scared by the prospect of being zapped.

reminds me of ”Dont Taze me Bro!”

No, it’s why we should be very careful when being lippy with an officer who has already warned the suspect – zap ’em all I say, protestors, strikers, hippies, dole fiddlers, beggars, crusties, hoodies……

…….love to see some of those types getting a few volts up their jacksie, that’d learn ’em 😀

i hate to say it, but im kind of on his side!

she WAS speeding, and needs a ticket

she wouldnt move away from the road when she was ASKED (for her own safety)

when he tried to move her physically away from the road (again for her own safety) she refused.

he tried to cuff her (not sure how he failed on this one, i think that would have done it myself) but failed.

so she gets tazed!
tough titties beligerent old hag! (no pun intended)

fighting her to forcefully cuff her risks breaking her bones, which will not be as tough as a 30yr old hillbillies.

a tazer will just drop her without damaging her (assuming her heart can hack it)

wooo… i nearly punched my computer screen just then. the other students should have started throwing chairs at the police. mass protest.

police are ****.

She asked for it and she got it.

Texas is a very very strange place.

loving the tag! 😆

She had it coming to her – fair enough.

If anyone here has ever driven in the states (let alone actually lived there) you will know its a big No No! to get out of your vehicle and gob-off at cops.

Good enough for her – can’t wait for TAZARS here on general release

Agree with Olly, she was threatening to get back behind the wheel of the car and blatantly resisting arrest, how many times was she warned?

The deputy was merely carrying a request by a member of the public. She told him to tase her so he did. Where’s the problem?

Not seen the vid as I don’t have the right flash player but reading the text I don’t see what the issue is? Her age is irrelevant.

It’s a lot like that woman at the G20 demo who said that although she was screaming abuse in an officers face it was disgraceful that he hit her.

She asked for it. She got it. She deserved it.

Nothing wrong.

Dare I add, “if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime” ……. 🙄

I cant believe that was his only strategy for dealing with a belligerent old lady.

Cowardly and disgraceful.

and that is why we have to be very careful about giving the police any additional powers in the UK.

What? Are you saying she didn’t deserve it? 😕

Trying to drive off after being stopped by the police.

Get down bitch 😈

Not nice, but what would the alternative be?

I have to agree with the words “beligerent old hag”

Maybe he should have waited for female backup (with taser)

Not nice, but what would the alternative be?

Its a tricky situation but to start with he could have tried to calm her down and speak to her with a little more sensitivity. He was using his patronising “policemans” tone which seemed a bit uneccesary. I dont think she was a danger to him or anybody else. If necessary he could have restrained her easily without causing her too much harm then call for backup.

I agree she was difficult but it shows poor skills to resort to something that could have easily ended in her death. As a Police officer its required to use a whole range of skills to deal with difficult situations. This guy obviously only had one!

If I’m about to do something which could easily end in my death, I tend to weigh up whether doing it would be worthwhile. Perhaps it’s something she should have considered.

Perhaps it’s something she should have considered

Maybe, but she didn’t appear to be in complete control and was hysterical. He is a professional and should have known better. The police come into contact with people in stressful situations daily, some with mental disabilities, what if she was one of them?

Depends really. In any particular situation, pointing a weapon at someone and saying “do exactly as I say or I am going to really hurt you” works fairly well. Most people, if you threaten to electrocute them until they soil themselves, will take the easy option and do as you demand. But of course you do have to do it if you don’t get total and immediate obedience, otherwise you lose face and credibility.

So it all makes good rational sense.

The question really is whether a police force behaving like that inspires trust and confidence, or whether it cares whether it does or not. 🙂

Equal Rights for all…..

For who?

In case it wasn’t fairly obvious from the context, for the policeman, as long as he’s as thick and nasty as slurry. 🙂

He should have put a lot more effort into cuffing her and taking her a run down the station. (then they could have kicked her head in and said she fell)
only joking about the bit in brackets
