If you have to arrest a 72 year old woman who is resisting, you will probably have to resort to the same tactic you would use with a twenty year old. I guess he could have slammed her on the hood of the car. Tasing was probably the gentlest way for her to go down.
But regardless, your post is ageist and sexist, but I'm guessing you didn't really think about it. Your cultural blinders are on. The steryotype of the harmless old woman is just that.
