Don't Taze my Granny!
(CN) - Police Tasered an 86-year-old disabled grandma in her bed and stepped on her oxygen hose until she couldn't breathe, after her grandson called 911 seeking medical assistance, the woman and her grandson claim in Oklahoma City Federal Court.

Wow... just wow. I have several cases in Canadian County (where this happened) and have heard some stuff about the police force out there, but it sounds like those guys need to clean house.

He stated in his report that the 86 year-old plaintiff 'took a more aggressive posture in her bed,' and that he was fearful for his safety and the safety of others.

SERIOUSLY?
You'd think peer pressure would make them avoid doing this shit. I don't know why every other officer isn't mocking these guys to death for being scared of an 86 year old IN BED.
Quote:
"The police then grabbed Ms. Varner by her forearms and jerked hands together, causing her soft flesh to tear and bleed on her bed; they then handcuffed her.
Tinsley says the cops capped it all off by having his grandmother "placed in the psychiatric ward at the direction of the El Reno police; she was held there for six days and released."
"As a result of the wrongful arrest and detention, the plaintiff Lona M. Varner suffered the unlawful restraint of her freedom, bodily injury, assault, battery, the trashing of her apartment, humiliation, loss of personal dignity, infliction of emotional distress and medical bills."
They seek punitive damages for constitutional violations, from the City of El Reno, Duran, Officers Frank Tinga and Joseph Sandberg, and 10 Officers Does.

Go for it.

Welllllll
Lets just say there probably aren't any that would be done by an 86 year old on oxygen alone in her bed with family present.
But there are others....

I'm not one who assumes that all cops are thugs or anything, but the one thing that bothers me is that cops frequently get away with their own crimes, even DUIs. I believe that as officers of the law they should be held to a higher standard.
I don't know how to enforce that when they're on the job.

Not sure if I agree with that, but how about an equal standard?
