My Great Grandmother spoke Swedish when she came over in the 1800’s from Sweden and moved to Chicago. She picked up the language when she got here and my Grandmother was the last level of the family who actually spoke Swedish. I grew up in Chicago with a lot of Poles, Puerto Ricans and other ethnicities who being recent arrivals may ave had limited English skills. In the other direction I have visited many foreign countries, and luckily English was spoken in some but not all of them, like Dubai where a co-worker from Lebanon who spoke Arabic helped me out
As to the woman in the post, personally I think tasing her was over the top. she was 87 not 18 for goodness sake. JMHO, she may have been a visitor to the family and not an English speaking native. Not having seen a body cam and if this old lady brandished it in a threatening way at the officers I will withhold judgment on the outcome
She lives here
