It's probably been over 15 years ago now, but there was a woman in her 80's who had dementia and was breaking her OWN windows out with a grass rake. Her neighbor called the cops because they were afraid she was going to hurt herself. A county deputy answered the call, and upon arrival, tasered her to the point she was convulsing on the ground. The deputy wound up getting suspended and eventually fired, but if I were a betting man, I'd say he went on to get another job in another county in law enforcement. What kind of man tasers an old woman who is wielding a damn lawn rake? My mom was in her 80's and had dementia. I'm pretty sure I could have taken a rake away from her without much fanfare, and certainly not needing to taser her.
