Reply #80: Maybe she was hard of hearing

Maybe she was hard of hearing. Most people lose their hearing as they age. I think the use of the taser was excessive force. If the officer did have a punch thrown at him by the woman, as he claims, he should have blocked the punch and then handcuffed her, in other words, used manual restraint. Instead, the officer chose to take the time to get the taser off his belt and use it. The situation could have been solved effectively using manual restraint, as I seriously doubt a 75 year old woman has the strength to overpower the officer. Seems to me this officer is trigger happy.
