People named "al-Bishara" should not be living in Georgia, but the police should never never attack someone for carrying a knife. So the police acted inappropriately.
How do we know the babbling old coot with a large butcher knife wasn’t behind the boys and girls club to harvest some children?
Yet I believe I've seen your posts in favor of concealed carry here, amirite?
I bought a large bag of kitty litter home at the grocery this evening. It weighed close to ten pounds.
I could have hurled it at someone in the store's parking lot and done them a serious injury!
I got raw eggs, too. Think how many cars I could have hit with them!.
I could have smeared toothpaste all over the cars' windows as well.
I must be downright dangerous, to carry such items concealed as they were - with no permit. I'm not as old as this lady, but I'm not a spring chicken, either.
I don't like what happened. I don't fault the police for it either.
I wouldn't have had my gun out either.
If I couldn't take the risk to disarm the slow moving granny I'd be in the wrong job.
I voted yes.
...........you would. She was 87, you mean to tell me a Full Grown Police Officer can not disarm an 87 year old women........then they need to quit the force!
This is why immigrants should learn English. My immigrant grandparents went to night school to learn English and encouraged my parents (born here) to speak English instead of their native language.
She learned enough to pass a citizenship test 17 years ago. Likely her main problem now, aside from the fact that she lives in a town with idiot cops who tase old ladies out collecting flowers, is dementia.

I must have bypassed the name-check station at the border the last time I drove down to Atlanta.
Tell me, what names are acceptable for Georgians? How do you feel about "Martin Luther King, Jr."?
A more honest title would read "cops tase non-compliant woman who was approaching with a knife".
Her age and the dandelions are irrelevant details which were obviously used to invoke sympathy.
Those details are very relevant. She was using a knife for one of the many non-violent things it is good for. There was no reason for a cop to be interested in a woman using a knife to cut dandelions.
The cop should have just walked/driven past. Only a psycho would hassle her for that.
