I agree, but it would have been a wrestling match for which he'd be demonized for also.
This old biddy was a real piece of work.
And a taser risks only the injury as she falls. Which can somewhat be mitigated. Wrestling an old body into cuffs risks snapping a bone, tearing thin skin, damaging a shoulder joint permanently, etc,,, wrestling them might appeal to the delicate sensibilitiies of misguided people, but a taser is far safer way to take her into custody.
Not to even mention that it was all her fault anyway.
A wrestling match? lol
Did you see the size of the LEO? Did you see how tiny and frail this old woman was?
Good Lord!
