Texas Officer Tases Senior 72 year old Woman

Chris the Texas officer tased an elderly woman. The officer probable got warning, when he woke up that day, to not go to work. Instead, Chris did and on that day he challenged by a 72 old woman not wanting a speeding ticket.

So what's an officer to do, to get a feisty old woman to obey the law, when his uniform nor badge did the trick.

Well Officer Chris used verbal commands to deter the behavior of the bad acting great grandmother. It did not work. So Officer Chris had to use a little physical force. A gentle shoving of the elderly woman on the side of the road.

But the shove only encouraged great grandma to egg on the officer with her age advantage to make her sign the citation.

No, she did not tell the officer to pull out his gun and shoot her..What she did was tell the officer to tase her. Officer Chris warned the lady if she did not comply he would tase her Yep tase her.

So he did. This was enough to get the woman on the ground and to stop the bad mouthing of the officer.


Poor Chris. I say Poor Chris because Officer Chris will be forever known as the officer who tazed an old woman. But for his fellow officer he will be the poster boy for the use of tasers as non-lethal. Sure, those in the AFrican-American community believe that the use of the taser is lethal. And some of these same folks believe the tasers are used too often on young males, killing them.

Now, I saw the video on Good Morning America, and I snickered. I snickered at the fact that the officer actually tased the woman, instead of just putting her on camera for refusing to sign the citation.

But, the video will send the wrong message: that a 72 old woman was tasered and lived.
