The officer sadly is allergic to dandelions. He thought she was gonna pollinate him to death.

So you're going to be the sarcastic douche itt because you can't give a real answer?

All they know is she is visibly old and walking towards them with a knife that she refused to put down.

Would you rather they tackle her? Risk getting slashed trying to calmly take the knife from her hand? Another option?

I imagine Murray County to be the kind of place where this is the most exciting thing cops see most months.

Maybe some cops in general need to chill the frick out.
Or perhaps maybe the police departments can quit hiring such fricking pussies? How hard would it be to avoid or even take down this 87 year old granny?


Reminds me of the 91 or so year old man in the nursing home who was refusing to take their medication and the cops tasered him. Guess they just hire fricking pussies?

quote:

When John Wrana was a young man, fit and strong and fighting in World War II with the U.S. Army Air Corps, did he ever think he'd end this way? Just a few weeks shy of his 96th birthday, in need of a walker to move about, cops coming through the door of his retirement home with a Taser and a shotgun. The old man, described by a family member as "wobbly" on his feet, had refused medical attention. The paramedics were called. They brought in the Park Forest police. First they tased him, but that didn't work. So they fired a shotgun, hitting him in the stomach with a bean-bag round. Wrana was struck with such force that he bled to death internally, according to the Cook County medical examiner.

So you are a pussy too, who would have tasered a 87 year old woman who was picking flowers? fricking PUSSY!

So what happened to using actual police training to subdue someone? Why do you got to taser someone who can be easily subdued with actual police training? Other first world countries can do this, yet cops in the US are quick to pull the trigger. Are us American Citizens that much of thugs and we just don't know it?

What would you have done instead? Should they risk getting slashed just because she is old?

How are they going to get slashed? Are these cops so fat they can't out maneuver a 87 year old woman? If they can't avoid her old arse, then perhaps they are in the wrong profession? Maybe they should just greet people at Walmart?

He was being sarcastic...

But no, they aren't. Their job is inherently dangerous, but that doesn't mean they have to intentionally put themselves in danger (in certain situations). That is why they have non lethal weapon.

Take the instance of using a taser on an armed person walking towards you, for example.

Don't you think they could have overcome an elderly lady without a taser, which could have killed her?

Nope. I also wasn't there. I can tell you that when a knife goes into your neck, your body doesn't care who put it there.

Stop using your emotions to handle this disucssion like a fricking woman.

Am I a douche for agreeing with you? Thats an interesting assertion.

At the end of the day, everyone made it home. They did their job.



And you guys get wayyy too triggered on Friday afternoons.

Have a great weekend

I can understand why the cops did what they did, but I don't really understand the need to call 911 on an old woman that I would describe as followed:

quote:

“It looks like she’s walking around looking for something, vegetation to cut down or something. She has a bag too,”


Think about it

"Oh shite, this old woman looks like she wants frick up some vegetation. Man, she even has a bag"..

Sounds like you are a woman. I'm just wondering how this 87 year old is going to make it to the cops and stab them in the neck. Surely the cops are not just going to stand there and let her do it. Again, if the cops can't take down a 87 year old woman, then they shouldn't be a fricking cop.
