there must have been a REASON they used force on her.

Maybe. But you have to wonder about the judgment and suitability of temper of cops who use this much force to subdue an old lady.

100% Agreed. And btw, for the record, I do believe she deserved some compensation for the way she was treated. However, I think a simple compensation for her (any) medical bills would've been fair enough.

True - but I do want to make it known that she is not what one usually pictures a "little old lady" - this is a large mouthy old lady from what I saw of her on the news. The visual that comes to my mind when someone writes "old lady" is not what this woman, in reality, looks like.

Again, judgement by all was skewed in this incident, but please don't picture her as some frail grandma from a Norman Rockwell painting.
