Old news to most of you, I know, but I’ve only just seen this.

ITEM: A Texas traffic policeman pulls over a 72-year-old woman for speeding, then Tasers her after she gets uppity.


Fuck.

No, seriously. I can’t think of any other response to this.

Well, I can, of course. But we'll be here all night if I type THAT.

Fuck,

This is dF

See, you pretty much nailed it. I'm thinking the officer had probably six other options he skipped before reaching his "last resort" option. Whether it's out of malice or laziness, if we justify this, there's really no limit on who they can Tase and for any reason.

And if we decide that the woman really did need Tasing, then we're still pretty screwed as a society.
