They could have grabbed her arms from behind on a backswing and disarmed her.

Maybe you would like to volunteer for the job. Maybe she should have just dropped the knife. I am amazed how Americans have become conditioned to coddle criminal behavior. We are like sheep.

Your exactly right. We were given tasers because the department doesn’t want us putting our hands on anybody anymore. The reason? Everybody thinks they can do exactly as they please and when they are arrested they sue the police department.

They all long for the “good old days” but when the police use “good old days” force they run to their lawyers and the newspapers crying like little girls.

It’d suit me if people didn’t call the police, handle it themselves.

I’m not for coddling criminals by any means, but tasering a fat wheelchair bound old lady? Come on, now.

Perhaps if they had cleared the area and had someone try to talk to her, it would have helped. IF she felt threatened, then removing the perceived threat would have helped. They only added to the situation by causing more commotion.
