gunnergoz Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Sometimes I read the news and wonder what happened to reality as I once thought I knew it: http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/06/24/28330.htm Apparently it is OK in some jurisdictions to tase an 86 year old disabled woman lying down in a hospital bed. The cops in this place, apparently having already rounded up all the other criminals and ne'er do wells, collected sufficient numbers of their colleagues to subdue this rampaging threat to the community. Hopefully, she will serve a long and well-deserved sentence for mainlining that designer drug, Ensure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then I can think of one police department that needs to be thoroughly cleaned out. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 It does seem strange. So strange that you do wonder what the other side to the story is. There must have been some reason why 10 officers turned up to a medical call and came in so hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 "Don't taze my granny" sounds like a hoax to me, but maybe my BS detector is set too low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hoax it may be (and I am not so sure), but the site does not seem to invite them; to the contrary. Here's a quote from their info page: Courthouse News Service is a nationwide news service for lawyers and the news media. Based in Pasadena, California, Courthouse News focuses on civil litigation, from the date of filing through the appellate level. Unlike other Internet-based publishers that simply aggregate information prepared by other content providers, Courthouse News publishes its own original news content prepared by its staff of reporters and editors based across the country. http://www.courthousenews.com/aboutus.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 It could be that the cops had been up on bennies for three or four consecutive days and were therefore well into paranoia to the point of panicking at the sight of an aggressive granny. Or even the Easter Bunny. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Picked up around the media so no added light on the subject yet. Does seem extremely bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
