I heard about this video last night. Thanks for posting the link. I'm speechless right now. I don't care if she had a gun or not... he didn't need to tackle her like that. This is a frail woman and she wasn't holding the gun the right way if she was intending to harm someone (if the revolver could even shoot - looked rather old).
Note the accent of the LEO.....I think he's from a state that panics around firearms......
