Lillian Fletcher is eighty two (82) years old. She is five foot one inch in height - and, unfortunately, has mental health issues. The police used a Taser on this woman:

Can’t the police control a senior citizen without the use of a Taser? Will we now hear that an electrical shock from a Taser is not a significant health issues for someone in their eighties? Can’t we be better than this?

What’s up, is the law enforcement so gun ho they want to try their equipment any chance they get age dosen’t matter even if it kill’s an elderley person, and they would get away with murder scott free.
Has anyone any care for people anymore,especially our elderley.

Yes, we can do better and we must. I am reading more and more about Taser use for no apparent reason other than to inflict pain and suffering and exert control and it is appalling.
I am sick and tired of the abuse of power by so called public servants like police; it is not only wrong, it is un-Constitutional. God help us all!
