Police brutality if fun and all but is this too far?
The cop is listed as a victim in the report.. What.. Did she shake her cane at him? WTF??
Wow, teenage mutant ninja grannies!!
It's a proven fact that all cops are assholes.
....Im gonna be a cop.

Kidwell resisted arrested, and the lieutentant is even listed as a victim on the report.
This officer needs to be casterated with a dull knife. I can't even immagine talking in a harsh tone to an older lady. Someone get me is email, phone number, and ip adress - I wanna slay him :mad2:Quote:
Finally, after taking five jolts, Kidwell was rushed to the hospital. She says she's still under a doctor's care.

I'm just confused.
When in doubt, blame the cop.
All the article says is that she tried to leave and that the report lists him as a victim. Based on the picture, I doubt any she could do anything that would have been worth the taser. He could have easily subdued her.
either way.. five tasers. I don't care if grandma had a bazooka, she would not do much good after one round.
I still doubt she deserved the first round.
She must have made that cop pretty mad.

er... ok....
However, according to the police report, Beverly Kidwell hit her granddaughter, and she was at the police station to get arrested. Lieutentant Bowling claims Kidwell resisted arrested, and the lieutentant is even listed as a victim on the report.
She was there because she already hit someone and it is possible that she attacked the office while resisting arrest. Just because she's 68 doesn't mean she can't also be mean and abusive. But, if she attacked the officer I can see him using the taser once. Five times...probably not.
I dunno.. Mean and abusive or not.. He couldn't have just taken her down himself?
Why can't I stop laughing?
But I thought if you were over 60 you were above the law
Spoken like a true kid with a mohawk.Quote:

lawl America.
Maybe he noticed that her crystal had finally started to blink red…
There's way too much out of context here. I'll agree five times might have been a bit much. But who knows what this lady did to her grand-daughter. And who knows what she did to this cop. And also, maybe it took five times to immobilize her. You can't just take her word for it. She might be innocent until provent guilty but so is the cop. So no jumping to conclusions. God knows what went on in that room without seeing the tape ourselves. But now it's evidense so I doubt they'll be releasing it anytime soon.

As you can clearly see she is brutally attacking him, he had no other option.
Francis Lee Bailey could get him off, and then sue the grandmother for sexual harassment.
Yeah, he looks pretty calm at that moment....not exactly a heat of the moment thing....
o_o Not sure what she did to her Adult Grandaughter, but could she really defend herself against a police officer? o.o I wonder who will win the trial. (Not sarcastic.)
thats horrible :hat:
Whats a Taser? :(
Essentially a Stun Gun.
It's a proven fact that all grandmothers are assholes.
I'm sorry but, Id bout he would just attack her for no reason in teh lobby, There's cameras everywhere in a police lobby. She had to do something besides just try to leave. I'm sure she tried to leave adn ended up kicking/swining. He didn't need to get her that many times but come on I doubt she had no fault in this.
