Don't tase me, Bro!
Poor gal. If only she had seen the 'don't tase me, bro' citizen training video. This would have never happened.
Now she is the newest member in one of the fastest growing groups in America: the Unjustly Tased Americans Caught on Electronic Medium, or UTACEME for short.
Very harsh
Was there a threat made to someone's life or safety? It really makes no sense to taser someone simply for refusing to move themselves.
They sold this technology as a non-lethal alternative to a firearm...and it should be treated as such. Usage of a taser needs to have the same criteria as a firearm.
I'm as cold hearted as anyone here, but this is a problem that's getting worse. I've actually been hit with a taser (by choice) and I can tell you, it's frighteningly painful and scary.
What do you think about the war on drugs?
How about Operation Wall Street?
Shout it today!

especially when she's 54 years old... and what maybe 100lbs? my understanding also is that she was in the right seat.. someone was sitting in her seat.. her husband was sitting next to her!

Good grief! If you are convicted of a crime, the Constitution protects you from "cruel and unusual" punishment. Shouldn't people who have not been convicted of a crime be afforded the same protection?

Videos like this simply perpetuate this behavior

Idiots
The idiot "left" is going to say she should not have gotten loud, just go along. They know what there doing.
The idiot "right" is going to say that loud mouth old witch was asking for it..Kick her...Kick her again.

I can't believe those fans
I can't believe those fans stood by and let this lady get tazered! Bunch of whimps letting a cop do that in front of everyone. Signing a petition of protest after the fact is TOO LATE! DO SOMETHING IF THIS HAPPENS AROUND YOU otherwise the cops will use it all the time for any reason.

Can't really tell what's happening
Except at 52, I do NOT feel old. So a 54-year-old woman is not old, she is middle aged. We will be there soon enough, don't hasten the process. Besides I would love to see your biological age.

Welllll
I guess so. :) I have discovered in my line of work, and or course as I get "Older" that age can be somewhat relative. I know people much younger that act and look so old. I also have a 74-year-old friend who still runs 50 miles in the mountains and runs marathons several times a year. I can't think of him as old, perhaps an alien but not old.

Time for the people to....
Kick the fuck out of cops like that. The people could have easily overpowered those pricks and smashed there piggy faces into the cement once and for all.
I am really pissed off with these pricks.
No more.

I wonder if the lady, 56 by the way, would be pleased..
.with Tasered and being called old, to boot.
Seriously, I can't see or hear anything clear enough in the video to make a decision. Obviously, cops are Taser-happy now....which is just slightly better than gun-happy... but I don't know what prompted the electrocution of a 'middle-aged' spectator at a football game.
I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

I was going by the posted report
" Cops Taser 54 Year Old Female Football Fan
WKOWTV
November 27, 2008 "
I don't think many 56 year old ladies would feel differently.
Anyway, I was just making a light-hearted comment for the fun of it.
I don't think it's right
to call a woman old even if she's 50, 52, 56, 60 or whatever age she is. Age is just a number and it's how old you feel. It's a shame that they tasered her. It seems that they are getting carried away with it big time.

She's old. Simple. That's the definition of it. I don't give a Goddamn if it "offensive" to call someone old.
When I reach that age in 30+ years, I'll be old, as well.
Damn it!
Who won the game? ...LOL

Agesilaus, your topic title says " old lady " !!
The subject of the story is 54 years of age.
I know quite a few ladies of that age who might take exception with your description !
** sorry ** ... I couldn't resist ... LOL
I really meant "no-longer-young," not old
If she were old, I would have said "chronologically gifted."

Take a Stand
if you just repost videos like this and think you are "doing something"
think again. Unless you choose to act, sharing videos like this simply reenforces the idea that we should expect to be treated like cattle by our lords. If you see something like this happening you must stand in the way of abuse of power...otherwise you are promoting and supporting a system of dehumanization.

It's interesting to read in
It's interesting to read in this thread that many police cadets need to be trained in using tazers and sometimes tazered themselves, in order to be qualified.... BUT, how many of these same cadets are trained in the Constitution? Trained in the laws that they take oaths to?
I family member of mine who is a relatively new officer had to swear an oath to the Constitution, but he knows very little about it. Not one iota of his training included learning about the Constitution. He also thought it was strange that they did not train him in it but required him to take the oath to it....

Torture
The United Nations stated tasers are torture. Amazingly CBS News reported it. Police officers did quite well apprehending and protecting themselves before tasers. What do you think a club and gun are for?

You've hit the nail on the
You've hit the nail on the head! Cops with guns and clubs are well prepared to handle any situation. There is absolutely no use for tazers.
The introduction of tazers to our police force is clearly a business decision and nothing more. In America, we embrace war and have so since WW2. Any culture that embraces war like we do should also be willing to accept all of it's trappings, like advanced weapons, and must be prepared for these things to be used against their own people.....
Plus fear for the hell of it
as in this 1-min video clip showing 100 cops-who-look-like-aliens swarming a middle-aged couple for straying from the bike path at a park in Minneapolis

Scumbags, bullys, bastards!!! And people are worried about gun control? Why not taser control? Gun control has always led to bad things where it happened. Look at Nazi Germany and Soviet USSR as a couple of examples.
Tasers need to be
outlawed forthwith!

Don't outlaw tasers...Legalize permits for citizens to carry. Again a .38 special demands allot of respect.
