At least she didn’t shoot her
In SC, an officer used a taser on a 75 year-old nursing home patient. I’m all for tasers provided they’re used when appropriate. However, tasering an elderly lady who could have very likely been controlled in another manner is atrocious.

The good news is, this cop is being sent for Taser retraining. Now if they’d just trained her right in the first place…
And I’m wondering about how many wrongful death suits the manufacturer will settle before they start describing Tasers accurately as a less lethal weapon.
