DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (CBS Charlotte) – Don't tase the nude 80-year-old woman, bro.

Police in Dorchester County, S.C., used a Taser on a nude 80-year-old woman after she allegedly attempted to attack police with her walking stick. WCSC reports that when police answered a complaint of someone making loud noises in the area, they were met by an elderly woman wearing no clothes on her porch, reportedly hitting the steps of her porch with her cane.

According to police, the woman, who spoke "confusingly," began to swing her cane at the officers when police tried to take it away from the nude woman. As police continued to talk the woman out of swinging her cane at them, another officer used his Taser on the woman's back. The woman was immediately transported to a nearby medical facility for treatment.

Sadly I could see my mother doing this, really, she gets frustrated and can't find the words to express herself and starts tapping her foot really loud.
In a few years she'll be swinging her walker at people, but taze? WTF is with these cops, she's fuckin 80 for crying out loud!
Tazing someone that age is asking for a coroners report on cause of death, cause being heart attack.

If she was on her own property, they should have left her alone. I mean, how damned loud is a cane being struck against the steps?

Can I be arrested for hammering nails, on my own property, while working on a project? They tazed her over a noise complaint. WTF?

This has all the ear marks of a liberal cop raised by foster parents.
No one would look at an 80 year old woman as a threat, anyone with a mother they respected, would look at her with concern and want to see that she experiences no pain whatsoever!
Tazing her with the excuse it was for her own good, needs to be tazed a few times himself.

And removed from the police force. He has no business in a position of authority.
