06-02-2009 • Photography Is Not A Crime

A Travis County Sheriff’s deputy used his Taser gun on a 72-year-old great grandmother after she refused to sign a speeding ticket. The deputy claims he was forced to defend himself because Kathryn Winkfein “got violent” in her refusal to sign the ticket. The deputy said she also used profanity, making him fear for his life.

If you are a cop and can not handle a 72 year old grandmother without useing a tazer, you need to make a career change. If I were him I would be so ashamed and embarrassed of myself I would hide my face. If an old woman scares you that much, what are you going to do when you have to deal with a "real" criminal ? Maybe piss in your pants?
