Police Chief John Gregory said Macon should have used the "empty-hand technique" - grabbing the suspect's arms or wrists - as the restraint method before using the 50,000-volt Taser.

But the taser is so much easier.

I have ran across some senior citizens that frankly deserve to be tasered.

I'll probably be flamed but I'm on the elderly lady's side in this. There is no way I can be convinced that there was no easier and mutually safer way to subdue this woman than zapping her. Sounds like this Cop wanted to use his new toy too much to me. She's lucky she only suffered bruises.

OK, many may disagree but I've worked at a retirement community and I can recall instances when I would have LOVED to have had a taser. :)

YOU try to please 500 people over the age of 70 - I dare ya!!

Go to the following link to see some real negligence. Basically this cop discharges her weapon and almost kills a fellow officer as well as a criminal.

It would be hilarious were it not so serious.

These TAZER stories are very energizing and erotic for me!!

It brings back a memory of the time I went fishing when I was a very young lad. TV was a new fangled thing and I still listend to the radio programs.

Anyway I went fishing at one of my favorite fishing holes at one of the farms where they had some great ponds with catfish, small mouth bass, Bluegills or Sunfish and some other assorted fish and snakes.

Well I had to PEE, so I went ober to the tall weeds and started to make the bladder galdder, right on the electric fence hidden in the tall weeds!! Oh my !! 117 volts, I was only nine or ten but that started me on my quest for 220!!

I found it about 15 years later and married her!!!

To begin with, I gotta' wonder about a nursing home that calls the police on a 75 year old female visitor.
