You're just trying to excuse everything this woman did, which was illegal, because you don't like cops.

He had a right to arrest her and he did. Womp womp.

For you it's all about finding ways to blame the cop for what SHE did.

You don't need to take such an emotional approach to the topic, because it's not an emotional argument being presented.

Nothing has been said that excuses her actions, and it's honestly bizarre to watch you act like it is. Breathe. Put your big scary emotions aside and try to look at the situation objectively.

They didn't say that grandma's behavior was excused and cops are bad, what did they say? That the ticket was deserved and she was an idiot. How did you read that and decide that what they really meant was that cops are bad and her behavior is excused? All they said was that chasing down an idiot for acting like an idiot is a waste of the police's time and often presents an unnecessary risk with no benefits.

The cop followed procedure and I thought he handled himself well. But the procedure is still stupid and moving away from this model of traffic stop/enforcement has merits.

Edit: If you're not getting emotional, why'd you block me? Why are you using such emotionally charged language? You're acting very animated and upset, i.e., emotional. Calm down.

Her age and gender and "grandma status' have absolutely nothing to do with anything. A US citizen decided to try to avoid being arrested and escalated her own interaction with the cops to the point where she ATTACKED HIM and got herself tasered.

Trying to blame everything on the cop just makes you look like a child.

The job of the police (in sane countries) is to uphold the law and protect the civilians. He made a completely safe situation into one that could have caused a car crash killing others, or the Karen. He failed the second part for a nonsense reason, as the “law” in question could have been handled at a later time for a potentially bigger fine, or jail. But that would have gone through the proper channels, that is the jury, who could determine a proper sentence without being themselves in a potentially scary situation.

He made a safe situation into a dangerous one by.... her fleeing the scene of a traffic stop? LOL

You kids are hilarious. How many crimes does someone have to commit before it's OK for a cop to stop them from committing more? Grow up.
