Under what plausible scenario is tasing a cranky but harmless 68 year old woman reasonable?

I can think of lots. Use your imagination.

Common sense

Good words. No one knows what happened here; the article is from one perspective. But I'd guess if her confrontation was with John Q. instead of John Blue, there would have been no physical confrontation. Maybe a finger or a harsh word.

Why? Because few people want a physical confrontation, even if they have a weapon and their opponent is an old woman.

Somebody might call the cops.

Hold on there. NOT all police are bad. But there are too many bad ones out there. The responsible departments dispose of their PIGS and the irresponsible ones keep them as "symbols of pride". I have alot of experience in this field. There are too many police who praise those cops who do wrong against the public. Sad! This cop needs to be fired. He is a CRIMINAL!

The officer was wrong in this case. There is no NEED to torture someone for such a petty offence. What is this, Iran?

America is a free nation. God Bless, always. I can't believe that so many people are defending the government so blindly. That is what happens at DEMOCRATUNDERGROUND. We are FreeRepublic with an emphasis on the "FREE" part.
