Grandmother Tasered at Traffic Stop

[coyote]

A 72-year-old woman is pulled over for speeding, then tasered and sent to jail. Kathryn Winkfein says she drives to Austin about twice a month to do her shopping. But on a Monday afternoon, a Travis County Constable deputy pulled her over, on her way back to Granite Schoals.

2. You know

if you are too dumb to know how to get Grandma under control without resorting to using a weapon, you should lose your freaking job as a police officer.

3. You've got to be kidding me.

A 72 year old woman can not be put into handcuffs without being tasered. Boy those Texas cops must be some pussy motherfuckers, Then again granny might wanna apply for the WWE.

4. If only the old biddy had been packing.

7. But she was packing

8. If a cop can't physically subdue a 72 year old woman

with out the use of the possibly deadly taser he should be fired.
