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.
Correct.

The part in bold is where I have to disagree with you. I think it may also be relevant to the poll, because I wonder if some of the folks who said the officer's action was justified might have felt differently if her name was Jones or Smith.
Nevertheless, kudos to you for choosing the right side in this, in spite of your disapproval of her presence here.
Lots of 87-year-olds have something wrong with their minds. It's our job to look out for them, and hope that someone does the same for us when we're 87.
Not really. Plenty of examples of english speaking folks minding their own business who end up getting tazed,maced, shot, etc. by cops who cant discern a real threat from a ham sandwich.

Those fools don’t listen. Then they end up flopping around like a fish out of water.
A more appropriate headline would be "Armed Female is Tasered by Police after Refusing Several Verbal and Visual Demands to Drop her Knife."
She would have learned a few English words in 20 years, including "drop" and "knife". The cop repeatedly mimicked his command by tossing his own knife on the ground, yet she still didn't understand? I'm not buying any of it.
She might even have learned the words "Dandelion salad" to explain her knife and actions to the police. The cops didn't know what she was doing with that knife.. and she couldn't tell them... and she refused to drop it. ZAPPPP! The cops had no choice. Tackling her would have broken bones at her age.
This is a BS fable created by and fed to the anti-police crowd.
