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.
Oh, good grief. You'd have to have rocks in your head to think that poor old woman looks dangerous. No, they should not have tased her. That's ridiculous.
I was in a shopping plaza yesterday where there is a Plasma donation center. I was with my son (who says it's easy money). He texts me that there was a guy inside going nuts. Yelling "Help me, help me". An ambulance was there when we got there. I guess the guy punched one of the EMS guys.
Anyway, the police show up. The officer quickly determined this was a person having a mental health issue. He did not go into defensive mode taking the guy down (though this officer was a big lad and could have easily). He talked to him calmly and asked him to come outside. The guy did.......he paced around while the officer talked him down. In a few the officer asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital where the guy walked back and and laid down on the transport gurney.
It's really not that difficult for a police officer to do the right thing and most times they do. When they do not, and they did not here we need to not brush it off. She was no threat.

The incident occurred on Friday afternoon after police received a 911 call from a staffer at the Boys and Girls Club, saying, "This lady is walking on the bike trail, she has a knife and she won't leave. She doesn't speak English."
This is what happens from statist indoctrination. Run and tell daddy on someone not committing aggression.
Well, at least the cop didn't unload his 9 mil into her back.
