Jackbooted thugette.

I love that lady cop on Reno 911 who pepper sprays absolutely everyone right in the face the first time her judgment is even remotely questioned or anyone from the public tries her patience.

[MineralMan]

Now, that's just not nice, young man!

[Lee Heggy]

Her resistance to the mind-probe was considerable....

I consider this officer to have displayed an extraordinary amount of bravery. Relying on a measly taser to subdue the grave threat posed by a seventy five year old woman without immediatly calling for back up and resorting to heavy weaponry is an obvious act of heroism. An average police officer would not have taken such chances with their safety in such an overt attempt to accommodate a citizen. It is surpising that she was not gunned down immediatly in a hail of gunfire with a team of officers jumping up and down on her head afterward while beating her repeatedly with billy clubs for good measure. Certainly this would have been the normal response. I guess this was this dangerous criminal's lucky day.

Granny sure musta looked like a desperado.

Get this guy a job at Homeland Security!

In these gender-blind times, we are supposed "don'r ask., don't tell" about the matter, but I suspect Officer Hattie Macon is both ways girly.

Warning! Saucy content!

"Officer Hattie Macon" sounds like a female lady woman, and as I see it, if the attacker is 75 lbs over her weight and healthy, IMO the tazer was justified.

[blackdog]

Female cops are inherently mean. The uniform makes their butt look huge and all that crap on the belt like cuffs, spray, gun, tazer, just makes the hips a focal point. Even a normal proportioned female cop when in uniform can't walk down the aisle in a grocery store without looking like a size eighteen bubble butted pack mule.

It's a dangerous mood it puts them in.

[cynicom]

At my age, I guess I better not give any officer of the law any guff. They will give me a tenner for being old and in the way.

"I fell pretty....oh so pretty..."

[Pearls Before Swine]

Hattie Macon is probably not a guy. Probably a power-tripping female cop on lobby patrol.

[DannyTN]

I feel pretty...oh so pretty...."

[sandydipper]

Makes me wanta puke - If it was my Mother I'd want to shove the taser up the cops a$$.

[OHelix]

" Macon, who joined the department almost 18 months ago, remains on duty, said Gregory. The department has received no previous complaints about her performance."

She was lucky she wasnt a pet dog in Tennessee......

[azhenfud]

Yeah, and their elbows tend to bend inwards, sorta like a gorilla's.

About time these scofflaw Q-tips got what they deserved!

Go Mad Hattie, go!

[blackdog]

I'll explain what happened here. White upscale nursing home........Uppity woman visitor in her golden years with a tendency to berate younger humans because some old people do it just to still give them a sense of control.

Black female cop who is also a community liason officer because she's the dull shovel in the tool shed (and can't carry a gun) confronts uppity white woman about leaving the facility. White uppity woman's choice of time to prove that old people can't be pushed around by a black female pseudo-cop who drives a cop minivan is catastrophic. Black female cop is tired of driving a minivan and being given no gun. Black female cop lets uppity old white broad have a high voltage flu shot.
