But the taser is so much easier.
Sounds to me like she tried the “empty hand technique” and the old bat didn’t want to go along with the program:
Kimbrell jerked away from the officer as she tried to grab her and later swung her arm at Macon's face, according to a police report. The officer then fired the Taser, striking Kimbrell in the back, police said.
I don’t pay the PD damn-good money to go scuffle with people. They have the legal authority to question, detain, arrest, and investigate. You want to fly that freak flag – you take your chances.
Anyway, nobody gets too hurt from a taser. She needed it. I’d send someone around to make contact with her tomorrow to see if she learned something or needs another dose. That’s just me though.
