Reply #39: I don't think you even know what that means.

Ageist and sexist my ass. If you're a cop, you know that the physical condition of the person you're dealing with affects how you deal with that person. A 20 year old man is almost definitely in far greater physical condition than that 72 year old woman. Regardless of how mouthy and pushy that woman was being, I'd have absolutely no problem getting her hands behind her back to cuff her, and I am not in shape to be a cop. If it was a 20 year old man, I'd have far greater hesitation trying to cuff him on my own and would not hesitate to use a taser if I thought I was in danger. The gentlest way for her to "go down", as you so ineloquently put it, would be for the cop to cuff her. If he couldn't have done that, he has no damn business being a cop. But you go on living in your fantasy world where everyone is the same and a 300 lb thug on PCP poses the exact same threat as an alzheimers addled senior citizen. To call you delusional would be kind.
