If it was a member of my family and they were disabled like that woman who needed a walking cane and they tasered her, I would put in an official complaint. I would also take legal action. Having said that, I would hope that no member of my family would be wandered around like that.
I hope that fragile frail old woman did not break a bone in her state. This conversation would be incredibly different if she had died. She was certainly put at risk. If she has cardiac problems or a pacemaker something like that could have interfered with her heart.
No, on this one, it is power gone mad. It's the same when you see them applying the same force or worse when it is a mental health patient. It's not behavioural, they don't realise they are doing it. She is a little old woman, you just need to grab her hand for God's sake! I think the cop in question is a horrible bully.
