72 Year Old Woman Tasered

Filed under: General — Laura Moncur @ 9:22 am

Officer Christopher Bieze of the Travis County Police Department in Texas said she was violent and resisting arrest.

She was pulled over for speeding and refused to sign the ticket, so the officer told her to get out of the car and he was going to arrest her. When she realized she was going to be arrested for not signing a paper, she said she would sign the paper, but by then it was too late.

Here is the dash cam video. Do you think she should have been tasered?

This is the reason I don’t like to speed when I drive. You never know what kind of whack job is going to pull you over. They could shoot you for resisting arrest when all you did was say, “I’m getting back in my car.” Officer Bieze screamed, “Tasered!” when he shot her. This looks like another case of a power drunk officer who got out of control. This sort of stuff happens all the time. It’s a wonder we give these people guns.

It looks like the district attorney is looking into this case to see if the officer acted inappropriately.

I’ve talked about this before:

Apparently, you don’t have to be a teenager to be treated like a second class citizen.
