Only in Texas: Grandma Tasered

[Dis]

I don't believe any highway should have a speed limit of 45 mph. That's absurdly slow; so slow it is clear the pigs are not helping public safety and instead are just sitting there as a speed trap.

And only a fat stupid Texan would abuse an old great grand mother. That pig should be hung by the balls until dead as should most Texans.

you don't want to drive 215 in Las Vegas then. I got nailed doing 58 in a 45 . I was so pissed because I'm normally the slowest driver on the road. I just didn't reduce my speed fast enough when it went from 55 to 45.

As for this old *****. Who cares. A younger person would have been tasered in a similar situation. Why does she deserve special treatment? Old people should not be discriminated against.

At 2: 57, she is ordered to get on the ground. She lays down on her stomach. THEN he tasers her.

I'll bet his unit's force policy does not permit the torture of little old ladies who are complying with an officer's order merely because he does not like her attitude.

she was already tasered at that point. That's how she ended up on the ground.

[Lorizael]

Especially Sloww. He should definitely be hung by the balls until dead.

Oerdin, unless you are completely sure that Sloww understands this post to be a joke, this is unacceptable.

[Asher]

Tazering people with heart issues, like most old people, ought to be criminal.

This guy should be put up for attempted murder.

[Sprayber]

When she refuses to sign the ticket, I hear her say,

He's just a bully who got pissed because an old lady had the guts to stand up to him.

It was a situation where a woman who was accustomed to berating people and using her age as an excuse ran into a bully who wasn't going to have any problem whatsoever tazing her ass. When she got out and realized this guy was as much as a **** as she was, she changed her damn mind. In this case the bigger bully won

Oerdin said pig! He is so edgy!

In this case the bigger bully won

A bully would have shown much less tolerance for the ***** than this guy did.

Great-grandma dared cop to Tase her, so he did

First there was the college student who gave the language the immortal phrase “Don’t Tase me, bro!” before being zapped by police. Now, there’s the 72-year-old great-grandmother who told a cop, “Go ahead. Tase me” — and got what she asked for.

Kathryn Winkfein was stopped for doing 60 mph in a 45 zone in her pickup truck on a highway near Austin, Texas. After Deputy Chris Bieze finished writing the ticket, he gave it to her and asked her to sign it.

Winkfein refused. Bieze insisted, saying he would have to arrest her if she didn’t sign the ticket. When she wouldn’t sign, he opened the door to the truck and told her to get out.

Differing accounts
This all happened around 2 p.m. on May 11. But it didn’t become news until Winkfein told a local television station that she had been mistreated. The Travis County Constable’s Office alleged that she had been argumentative and profane. She denied the charge, telling a local Fox News reporter, “I was not argumentative. I was not combative. Every bit of this is a lie.”

In response, the constable’s office released the dashboard video of the arrest, which shows Winkfein using vulgar language and daring Bieze to use his Taser. According to the time stamp on the dashboard video, it was at least seven minutes from when Bieze told the elderly woman to get out of her truck until he finally hit her with 50,000 volts of low-amperage electricity and she fell screaming to the ground.

Winkfein has not commented since the video was released. According to the local Fox station, she has hired an attorney.

When Bieze tells her to get out of her truck, Winkfein says, “Take me to jail. Go on and take me to jail.”

“Step on out,” the officer commands.

The woman gets out of the truck and walks along the side of the road, close to the fog line separating the shoulder from the traffic lane.

“Give me the [expletive] thing and I’ll sign it,” she tells Bieze, but the officer has already told her she is being arrested. When Winkfein strays close to the traffic lane, the officer pushes her onto the shoulder.

“You’re gonna shove a 72-year-old woman?” Winkfein yells at him.

“If you don’t step back, you’re gonna be Tased,” Bieze says.

That’s when Winkfein said, “Go ahead. Tase me.”

‘I dare you’
Even then, Bieze did not use the Taser he had out and ready. He attempted to grab her, but Winkfein twisted away.

“Step back or you’re gonna be Tased, ma’am,” Bieze says again.

“I dare you,” she said.

Winkfein then decided she was leaving and tried to walk back to her truck.

“I’m getting back in my car,” she said.

“You’re gonna be Tased,” Bieze said, blocking her path.

“I’m getting back in my car,” she insists.

“No, ma’am,” he says.

That’s when he finally fired the Taser and Winkfein went down screaming.

“Now put your hands behind your back!” Bieze orders the woman, who has fallen out of the picture. “Put your hands behind your back, or you’re gonna be Tased again!”

Bieze finally took Winkfein into custody and charged her with resisting arrest.

Sgt. Maj. Gary Griffin of the Travis County, Texas, Constable’s Office told NBC News that Bieze acted appropriately.

“He mitigated this event safely, effectively and efficiently. Nobody sustained any injury,” Griffin said.

At the time she was tazered, what was she doing to deserve tazering?

Attempting to flee arrest based on reports.

[SlowwHand]

Oerdin, Drake and some others are still operating under the misconception that cops have the time and inclination to participate in a fool's game.

[Lorizael]

Sloww, when you say "the moments that take your breath away," are you referring to the moment the taser's electrodes hit you?

[SlowwHand]

Not particularly.

[Sprayber]

Cops deal with *******s every day and it is bound to get to them at some point. The problem is that cops should be held to a much higher standard. They have tremendous power over us and when they have a bad day and get pissed people can die. I have nothing but respect for what they do and what they have to put up with but they should be able to work through the *******s of the world.

[Tuberski]

Nice video, Sprayber.

She's such a victim.

ACK!

[SlowwHand]

This woman is whack. Pretty patient cop.

[Dis]

OMFG Sprays video.

I'm laughing my ass off, but I feel bad for the kid (s?). This lady is almost as bad as that german kid who can't play his video game. She just goes bezerk. Nice of her to cuss in front of her kids like that. I love how she tells her daughter we are going to jail. I love youtube. My life would be so empty without seeing video such as that. That made my day.

Kudos to the cop in that video for keeping his cool.
