I think tazing granny for taking “a more aggressive posture in her bed” is just another example of how the Tazer has become many cops way of just shocking the hell out of anyone at the drop of a hat. How the hell do you take an aggressive posture while supine in bed? Is this a lack of proper training or the fact that the Tazer just makes it too easy?
I can already hear it now: “Tazers don’t taze grandma, cops taze grandma.”
I just want to have in depth discussions of politics, religion, and sex--you know, all those things "they" say you shouldn't talk about in "polite" society. I'll be expressing opinions here. If you have a problem with that, feel free to move on. If I claim something, I try to back it up with facts. If you want to contest those facts, feel free.
If you have any comments, questions, or suggestion please feel free to drop me a message.
If you want to join in the discussion leave a comment, start a blog, or you can can follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, Buzz, YouTube, or Flickr.
