Here in Australia a cop tased a 95 year old women with dementia at a nursing home who was shuffling towards him on her walking frame while holding a knife. She fell and hit her head and subsequently died. Policeman Kristian White has been charged with manslaughter and is due to appear in court next month.
they could have disarmed her with a blanket for God's sake! Thrown one over her from behind, and grabbed her around her body. These cops are SO afraid of an 87 year old woman, who can barely walk, they had to tase her in the chest! They're lucky they didn't kill her. I hate the way they keep saying this lady was approaching them with a knife. She was picking dandelions, so I'm sure it was just a little paring knife, not a big butcher knife like they try to make it sound.
@@jpgduff It’s a saying that is common for kitchen safety that if you drop a knife it’s as dangerous as the sharpest part of the blade. Wielded by an elderly person is still a threat even if she tosses it or drops it.
But she was moving towards them at break neck speed of 20 feet per day with a knife so sharp it could cut atoms. They were clearly in immense physical and emotional danger
@@enrawlao2557 Of course, I forgot to look at it thru cop-tinted lenses. I would’ve loved to see this in court, “I was in fear for my life!”.. And if the tasing was all peaches & cream, why the extra training? Nothing makes much sense here.
It’s so nuts how clearly she’s got limited to no English yet they still talk to her in English trying to see if she’ll respond Like “solomon” she says and he goes “who’s Solomon is that your grandson?” Like yeah she’s gonna start talking English now that you’ve asked her another question in english
The incident occurred in Aug. of 2018. The prosecutor notified the police chief in June 2019 (almost a full year later) that "I have never considered further prosecution . . . either necessary or practical". So, why so long to drop the charges if not to dissuade a civil suit?
We already know, cops are afraid of acorns, pots of water, flashlights, and miniature dogs. Now we know, they are terrified of miniature old ladies. Not surprised at all.
How dare you. This is another shining example of police that put their lives on the line every second of every day to keep us safe. They protect dandelions too. They even said that an old lady like her could be dangerous.
@@princessmarlena1359 Yes, no more PC (Protective Custody), at some Minimum Security institution. They should be placed into GenPop (General Population) who are told far and wide, that this newest inmate is Law Enforcement Officer.
the dispatcher was clearly told that she was foraging for plants, she lied to the police and they played the movie out in their head instead of observing what was right in front of them.
They took her to jail because they tazed her. They are ALL Unwilling to admit fault and ALWAYS doubble down on their mistakes in an attempt justify, and most of the time it works. Did they get fired? Nope, just got paid to go to a class.
I love how the 911 caller lady is so concerned about kids seeing a dude with a sign.. as if it’s the worst thing a child could see! I guess we are now at a point, where it’s ok to call cops if someone makes you uncomfortable, like it’s a crime. Uncomfortable! If Jeff is that detrimental for someone’s mental wellbeing, they better stay indoors permanently. Seriously.
Why cant an officer just ask themselves "Would this use of force be necessary if it was my 87 yo mother?" If she died they would have said it was justified because of officer safety. Somehow bad cops always find a way to defend ANY action they make.
The fact that they knew she couldn't understand english and they also admitted they saw what she was doing with the knife, the intent was therefore already established by her actions, proving they had no probable cause to escalate to violence! THE END
Collecting flowers is not a crime. Just walk away since they can clearly see she wasn’t committing a crime. Case closed, but NOOOO! They have to flex on people.
Owning a knife is not illegal. Bearing a knife is not illegal. Gathering dandelions with a knife is not illegal. There was nothing illegal done here and no reason to stop or detain this person was present. Having a paranoid cop anywhere nearby is dangerous.
If the investigation into tazing an 87 year old woman picking flowers with a knife concluded that no rules were broken, the rules need to change. Full stop. Those cowards.
The director who called 911 on a lady essentially picking weeds should be fired, all three of the officers should be fired and the Attorney General should be disbarred. There is no excuse for tazing a tiny 87 year old woman. Period.
It's simple, they are trained and feel completely justified in enforcing law this way. The fact that the entire establishment of this jurisdiction backed their use of force/discretion is why this behavior continues. Blanket qualified immunity needs to go
F seems to harsh for the second guy. It puts him on par with screaming/tasing/hitting/or choking an innocent citizen. I worry that diminishes the integrity of an F.
@@ednason8594 its up to a prosecutor to bring charges, they arent apart of law enforcement, I understand the sentiment, but its mostly untrue that thats how it goes.
@scharnhorst_42 except tons of proactive refuse to prosecute a cup without an referral from the department or outside pressure. The system is set up expecting police to uphold the law, and when they dint the system breaks
@@admthrawnuru speaking as someone who knows of an officer who was indicted and decertified, my only experience with it is that the system did what it was supposed to do, and feel confident in saying that it happens the right way more often than not. Does corruption, and bias exist? Yes. There are some people who should not be officers, but I will say, a large majority of people get caught.
Seriously, how stupid can you be? Two grown men tase an 87 year old woman. Don’t these idiots know that 87 year old people have weak hearts? They could also have dementia. For these two idiots to tase her is beyond belief. Those two idiots should be charged with assault charges.
So please state simply what they should have done? Left her to roam the childrens facility? Wrestled the knife off her? The reality is they had no good options available to them, fault primarily lays with whomever was responsible for the old ladies care IMO.
This entire story is absolutely unbelievable, big bad cops with guns and tasers, afraid of 90 year old lady collecting dandelions. You guys should be so proud of the work you do
I'm not even ten minutes into this video and I'm completely disgusted in the most ignorant policing I've seen in a year. Cowardly action. Completely disgusting.
@@RabbiJesusthe trespassing statute is clear. You have to stay on the property “KNOWINGLY”. Also if you gonna deal with a 87 year old 80 lbs grandma the same way, then you’re part of the problem lol
Yeah I heard that and I'm... well, they did taser her. For her safety, from people wearing costumes and tin who have less brains than the tin man... yeah maybe someone being with her 24/7 might stop them from tasering her to end... or maybe not.
The cops ask "why was she by herself?" WTH, it's a crime to walk by yourself according to these numbnuts? These cops are the definition of a DISGRACE!!!
They're trying to say she's too old to be alone. I guess she could be at risk for getting mugged. Criminals might not assume she's got a lot of money considering she's foraging for dandelions.
If she suffers from dementia, her caretakers have responsibility for her safety, and that might mean constant supervision. We don't really know enough to judge the people here IMHO. The cop could have chosen his words more carefully, perhaps "you should consider whether it is safe for her to be alone outside the house."
We should probably be berating the insurance companies, more than likely. Probably fight tooth and nail to not cover that even though the job calls for it.
These officers grew up in one of the least educated states, managed to achieve the mediocre grades needed to obtain their position and people are asking how stupid can one be.
Exactly, we need to understand that officer porkins is so fat that he is not capable of actually walking away from a threat without risk of cardiac arrest
There is no universe where a uniformed law enforcement officer can tase an 87 year old woman and be the hero of that story. Anybody with any level of common sense and humanity would not have done that.
Tasing is bad enough, but arresting her when it was easier and more justifiable to release her to the custody of her family?? I was just watching a documentary about overpolicing in places where there are more police than crimes and criminals. This must be one of those places…these cops must need to justify their salaries. What a country…
Just wait until these next 2 lawsuits hit murray county. This department does whatever they want and they think they'll keep getting away with it. Nope!!!!
Agreed, even if she tried to stab them, how could an aware officer not be able to deflect her attack. Cops should have basic manual control techniques. And the moment there are multiple officers, there becomes less and less reason. My god she could have dementia.
Probably because they've seen a movie where someone poses as an activist of some sort in order to ambush someone.... Most cops think life is like the movies
THE COPS DIDN'T GET SUED ... THE CITY DID!! WITH SO MANY VIDEOS OF "BULLIES WITH BADGES" PROVIDED ON UA-cam, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THOSE WHO SUPPORT SUCH ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES JUST DO NOT CARE. THE ATTITUDE OF "BULLIES WITH BADGES" IS OBVIOUS ... "WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TAKE US TO COURT!!" IT IS CLEAR THOSE WHO SUPPORT "BULLIES WITH BADGES" (SUCH AS SOME POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND COURTS) DO NOT CARE WHAT THE LAW IS. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT "TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN" EVEN IF THEIR ACTS ARE ILLEGAL. THOSE WHO PERSONALLY IGNORE THE LAW SHOULD PERSONALLY BE FINED. AS LONG AS SUCH “BULLIES WITH BADGES” DON’T HAVE TO PERSONALLY RECOMPENSE FOR THEIR CHOICES, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. IT IS MY PERSONAL OPINION THAT COURTS SHOULD NOT CAUSE CITY OR STATE GOVERNMENTS TO PAY FOR THE ILLEGAL ACTIONS OF "BULLIE WITH BADGES." COURTS SHOULD CAUSE THE POLICE OFFICERS INVOLVED TO PAY DIRECTLY FOR THEIR ACTIONS (I.E., TAKE IT OUT OF THEIR PAYCHECKS INSTEAD OF THE TAXPAYERS' PAYING FOR THEIR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES). IF “BULLIES WITH BADGES” KNOW THEY ALONE WILL PAY FOR THEIR ACTIONS, THEN THEIR ACTIONS WILL CHANGE BECAUSE IT EFFECTS THEIR PAYCHECKS! CASE IN POINT: A HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER’S ANNUAL INCOME IN 2024 RANGES FROM $54,000 TO $102,500 (EXCLUDING OVERTIME PAY AND BENEFITS -- WHICH CAN REACH $40,000+) WHICH CAN TOTAL AS MUCH AS $150,000 TO $200,000 ANNUALLY. THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR OWN ILLEGAL ACTIONS!!
A CHIEF!? I was almost certain this would be two rookies. The entire department needs to be dismantled and built back up from new leadership. How completely pathetic and cowardly can these idiots get? It's just disgusting.
@@babydriver8134 Indeed. It's overabundantly clear that our entire law enforcement system needs to be restructured. The training, testing, and screening they receive are evidently severely lacking. Internal affairs and accountability might be the more pressing issue, honestly.
"87 year old woman still has the ability to hurt an officer" Ah yes.. officer safety, what a shocker. I would be ashamed to show my face in public after a statement like that. An 87 year old grandma has zero ability to hurt me with a knife. Under no circumstances could she pose any kind of a threat to me, not even if I literally had my arms tied behind my back. But then, I'm not a badly trained incompetent coward.
i would point out that saying "under no circumstances" is a bit much. my grandmother was 95 when she died and at 87 she was still quite handy with a knife.
@@hellshade2was thinking the same. Buddy certainly exaggerated a bit here. 87 or not if that person has a knife and they’re set on doing you harm with it they’re still a threat to SOME degree despite what Mr Special Forces⬆️ would have you believe. Once you factor in her calm demeanor and the fact that she was still picking dandelions is where these cops look like clowns.
The officers had a 4th option: observe ("investigate") the old woman, realize she was of no danger to anyone, try to convince the B&C club to just leave her alone, try to find a family member, and, in general, de-escalate. Who was the idiot at the B&C club who didn't just leave her alone? You're in Georgia and don't know about harvesting greens? The final idiot? The 911 dispatcher who did not relay sufficient information to the officers. Idiots all.
@@bluechip1331 1. Guys, I found the bootlicker 2. She couldn't understand English 3. She is eighty-seven years old 4. The knife was not long enough to fall under the law for a dangerous weapon 5. The police department, AKA the taxpayers, paid out a settlement, indicating that the police department acknowledges that they messed up without admitting they messed up 6. Back the Blue until it happens to you
These guys know they messed up and decided to go all they way with a arrest to be covered with the immunity. No arrest, no immunity, so they HAVE to go all the way.
As a trained one-time professional Dari translator, I can confirm that if the other person does not understand you when you say something in English, say it again and again and again in English, then finally in another language they wouldn't understand: "Is that your casa?" "Uno momento" always gets the point through. And since when can we not walk with a knife?
😂 while I agree with the first part. You try bringing a knife to a children's center and see if you don't get told to leave or have the cops called on you 😮
@@faytleingod1851 But there weren’t any children, or people, there! She was outside, in an unfenced area, cutting dandelions (the leaves are edible). It’s just insane for them to have behaved as though they thought she was any kind of a threat! Surely this is obvious… 😳
Those same cops would arrest 80 year old grandma for going to church in 2020 or being present at DC on Jan 6th expressing their 1st amendment. (80 year old grandmas are NOT TERRORISTS)
@32 min mark, when a town dispatches 3 cops, in 3 cruisers, to address an alleged panhandling in a park call….you know that the police department is CLEARLY OVER-FUNDED! Thus, any appeals by the Chief &/or Mayor for more funding is ridiculous!
@@rebeccawhetzel6282 Will it? Because those settlements do NOT come out of the LEO Pension Funds, nor the LEO operating budget, but rather from taxpayers (& municipal insurers).
@MistDaemon ...thankfully you acknowledge it is 100% LEGAL. But why so much disdain for a charitable appeal for funds? I saw my senile mom's cellphone receive 8-10 texts PER DAY begging for money from Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, er al...that's all deemed legal. And it carried on FOR WEEKS - despite my continued responses on her phone to 'stop', 'cancel', ''end', et al.... If politicians can beg for money, why can't some pesky citizen do the same for themselves?!?
These officers are complete idiots. They keep trying to talk to her when obviously she doesn’t understand their English. And to think she’s any kind of a threat that needs to be in handcuffs and put it in the back of a police car shows complete lack of reasonable awareness of the situation. They couldn’t hold a job at McDonald’s. For God sakes why are we giving these people guns and paying them To enforce laws. Completely useless their families must be so embarrassed. If anyone puts them back out on the street there’s something wrong with you as well.
Exactly!! I've seen my share of videos with cops bring cowards..but 3 grown men couldn't take a knife from an 87 yr old woman who could barely walk is an absolute disgrace!
@@jackshafto9123 I agree that not assimilating is a huge problem and is the responsibility of those who moved to learn the laws, customs and language of their destination. For example I think would be unreasonable for an native born American that only fluent in English to immigrate to Paris and expect the French people to learn English instead of the immigrant learning French. So if I knew I didn't even speak the language I would try and carry a method of translation, a phone number to call to a translator (not the police responsibility).In this case I don't think the officer's safety was ever at risk. I wish we could see the beginning of the interaction. If the police are not meant to protect and serve both the kids and the elderly then why do they exist? I wish they would have video of her and the officer just observing. If the video does exist but just not available (thinking about active court case) then we all just have to wait. But if the officer's didn't record it, I'm in favor of making a law change to charge the officer with willful not collecting evidence (destruction). Sorry for the long reply this video just makes me so angry. As the only way for this case to have been handled worse by the officers would have been if they shot her instead of tasing her.
@@victorlangrehr7505 listen I’m not saying what they did wasn’t more than they need to do but rule number one for officers is to go home safely to their family or loved ones. If an old woman is not dropping the knife even after the officers played charades with her, there’s nothing left to do.
@@sarahtarand a lot of people still think that law enforcement is there to protect and serve and help save their communities.. the truth is they never were from the beginning.
Jeff Gray is the auditor i respect most on UA-cam, tbh. Just stands there with a clearly harmless sign, doesn't instigate, and is extremely knowledgeable about the law
Anytime a police officer violates a citizens civil rights or gets sued and loses that should automatically be a minimum of a 10 year suspension of their license and at least 5 years in prison
Seriously none of those three young strong male officers could have taken that knife from an 87 year old woman? Especially someone who is making absolutely no aggressive movements whatsoever
To be fair, an 87 year old woman CAN do a lot of damage with a knife. To be even more fair, this lady wasn't a threat AT ALL and these cops should be under the jail.
This is utterly disgraceful!! As an American citizen and the daughter, niece, and granddaughter of four police officers, I am EMBARRASSED and MORTIFIED. I hope the parents of these cops are ashamed of their sons. In America old ladies will be harassed by police for picking weeds!!!
@@johng.1703 The vast majority of the calls are not related with illegal activity. I am not defending anyone here... the caller could've perhaps just being alert and observe the old woman. But well.. he decided to call, but didn't lied or exaggerated in his report. Its the Dispatcher's job to ask the questions, and include the level of emergency in the report for the call of service.
Officer "un memento" was initially completely dismissive of the fact that he had a translator there, ready and willing to help with the language barrier. It wasn't until the family member kept asking questions for several minutes that the officer said something like, tell her to get in the car, but no attempt to have her explain to the confused lady what was going on and what was gonna happen, or to find out if the lady had understood their commands earlier. Instead, he seemed to think that if you repeat the word in English 17x, the person will understand. "Your son, youuuuur son. Sooooooon, your SOOOON...son, son, son......son"

I have no idea what language she was speaking, but you might be surprised how much a Spanish speaker and an Arabic speaker can communicate with each other.
I can’t wait until I’m arrested on my own property for foraging with a knife and a bag. It is only a matter of time. “Ma’am, what are you doing!?!?!?” “Gathering wildflower seeds for next year.” “You’re trespassing!!!!!” “I own this property.” While wiping my forehead with the hand holding the knife, I get tased. Only a matter of time.
i live out in the boonies. i don't go any farther than the mailbox without at least one pocket knife. it's not a weapon, it's an everyday tool, simple as that. i genuinely feel bad when my blades get blood on them (which has, more than once, happened when i would lend someone my knife. i hand it to them, closed. they return it, open, and holding up their other hand to show me the cut. 'it's sharp. and i couldn't figure out how to close it.' i can only put my face in my palm at thst point.)
So they arrest her and charge her anyway even tho they know she had no idea what they were saying and after it was confirmed with the family what happened. Just wow. And the chief is bragging about how proud he is of it.

I get so infuriated at some of these officers. Some are stupid. Some are too stupid to live unsupervised. Inhumane complete and utter morons. A calm person digging up dandilions attacked and tased. Those cops should probably be put in a home for everyones safety.

I worked with an elderly Cambodian woman we all called Grandma. She reminded me of my own Grandma who came here in 1921 from Ukraine. We worked in an industrial park that had planted crab apple trees as landscaping all over. "We" see them as pretty, she sees them as a foraged food source and asked me to go with her to pick some so she wouldn't get in trouble (I did). We actually attracted park security who thought it was "strange" to be picking useless crab apples but left us alone after I explained the situation. All this woman saw was a source of food and I feel that the police went too far in tasing her. This is first world stupidity where everyone thinks the only place food comes from is the grocery store.

Why cant an officer just ask themselves
"Would this use of force be necessary if it was my 87 yo mother?"
If she died they would have said it was justified because of officer safety.
Somehow bad cops always find a way to defend ANY action they make.
Because they would probably treat their own family the same way too. They have no empathy
The 40 percenters would answer, yes.
The fact that they knew she couldn't understand english and they also admitted they saw what she was doing with the knife, the intent was therefore already established by her actions, proving they had no probable cause to escalate to violence!

“Why was she by herself.” Is just an excuse to justify their behavior. Remember, cops are hammers and we are the nails.
They're trying to say she's too old to be alone. I guess she could be at risk for getting mugged. Criminals might not assume she's got a lot of money considering she's foraging for dandelions.
Dude it literally isnt safe for her to walk around alone stop being so dense. you muppet.
If she suffers from dementia, her caretakers have responsibility for her safety, and that might mean constant supervision. We don't really know enough to judge the people here IMHO.

There is no universe where a uniformed law enforcement officer can tase an 87 year old woman and be the hero of that story. Anybody with any level of common sense and humanity would not have done that.
I mean, maybe if she was a James Bond-style villain with her finger hovering over a doomsday button...
But that wasn't the case here.

Unfortunately, most cops lack both - humanity and common sense
Tasing is bad enough, but arresting her when it was easier and more justifiable to release her to the custody of her family??

IT IS CLEAR THOSE WHO SUPPORT "BULLIES WITH BADGES" (SUCH AS SOME POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND COURTS) DO NOT CARE WHAT THE LAW IS. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT "TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN" EVEN IF THEIR ACTS ARE ILLEGAL. THOSE WHO PERSONALLY IGNORE THE LAW SHOULD PERSONALLY BE FINED. AS LONG AS SUCH “BULLIES WITH BADGES” DON’T HAVE TO PERSONALLY RECOMPENSE FOR THEIR CHOICES, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. IT IS MY PERSONAL OPINION THAT COURTS SHOULD NOT CAUSE CITY OR STATE GOVERNMENTS TO PAY FOR THE ILLEGAL ACTIONS OF "BULLIE WITH BADGES." COURTS SHOULD CAUSE THE POLICE OFFICERS INVOLVED TO PAY DIRECTLY FOR THEIR ACTIONS (I.E., TAKE IT OUT OF THEIR PAYCHECKS INSTEAD OF THE TAXPAYERS' PAYING FOR THEIR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES). IF “BULLIES WITH BADGES” KNOW THEY ALONE WILL PAY FOR THEIR ACTIONS, THEN THEIR ACTIONS WILL CHANGE BECAUSE IT EFFECTS THEIR PAYCHECKS! CASE IN POINT: A HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER’S ANNUAL INCOME IN 2024 RANGES FROM $54,000 TO $102,500 (EXCLUDING OVERTIME PAY AND BENEFITS -- WHICH CAN REACH $40,000+) WHICH CAN TOTAL AS MUCH AS $150,000 TO $200,000 ANNUALLY.

The officers had a 4th option: observe ("investigate") the old woman, realize she was of no danger to anyone, try to convince the B&C club to just leave her alone, try to find a family member, and, in general, de-escalate.

An officer has a right to be safe and go home. This is a problem of millions of people coming to America illegally and not assimilating
@@jackshafto9123 I agree that not assimilating is a huge problem and is the responsibility of those who moved to learn the laws, customs and language of their destination. For example I think would be unreasonable for an native born American that only fluent in English to immigrate to Paris and expect the French people to learn English instead of the immigrant learning French. So if I knew I didn't even speak the language I would try and carry a method of translation, a phone number to call to a translator (not the police responsibility).In this case I don't think the officer's safety was ever at risk. I wish we could see the beginning of the interaction. If the police are not meant to protect and serve both the kids and the elderly then why do they exist? I wish they would have video of her and the officer just observing. If the video does exist but just not available (thinking about active court case) then we all just have to wait. But if the officer's didn't record it, I'm in favor of making a law change to charge the officer with willful not collecting evidence (destruction). Sorry for the long reply this video just makes me so angry. As the only way for this case to have been handled worse by the officers would have been if they shot her instead of tasing her.

"but you can't have knives"... Like, who tf says people can't have knives?
GIVE THEM A MONTH AND THESE 2 WHISTLE DICKS WILL BE GIVEN A PARADE........HOW DO THEY SLEEP ?
Tyrants who want to claim a monopoly on violence
Somebody who must absolutely establish they are always in the right and that nobody should dare do anything that makes it look like they're standing against them.
@@busterbeast999 For real. Tyrants always have "good intentions", and for that, they truly always believe that they're in the right and then they never check their conscience no matter how much damage they cause.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience..." -C.S. Lewis
"Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good master, but they mean to be masters" -Daniel Webster
Wow! What heroes. We sure are lucky to have these professionals looking after us.
The cop speaking Spanish is the most hilarious level of stupidity I’ve ever seen outside of a movie
Why? It's apparent that she doesn't know English, so trying other languages is a good idea.
@@skun406not when the grand daughter or daughter isn’t speaking Spanish to her!
Came here to say exactly that. Unbelievable.
@@skun406bruh please do not do anything complicated for a living
@@skun406Spanish is pretty common in the US I am in a hick town with one high school, I had 100 people in my class and even I've heard enough Spanish to recognize it, that clearly wasn't Spanish.
how mentally underdeveloped you have to be to taze a 87 year old woman calmly walking towards you?
mee - Good question. Three BIG cops can't control a tiny 89 year old female ??? Zero hand to hand skills ? Zero confidence ? Massive fear ?
murica
About as mentally under developed as you'd have to be to think that speaking a few words of broken Spanish was going to somehow save the day.
Easy duty for ego driven assholes with guns
@@edquier40 And there it is !
God bless Jeff Gray, one of the few real First Amendment activists out there. Jeff always gets the calls and bodycam, and always follows up with civil suits if the tyrants don't back down and change their ways. A+++. He deserves to have ten million subscribers.
It's amazing. that they use police to address their "discomfort" than regulating themselves and learning to either be compassionate or ignore the situation. Using "small children" as an excuse is getting tired.
wtf are they doing to that old lady? This is why cops are hated by so many
Poor thing was foraging and did nothing wrong.
11:20 The cop saying "un momento" for someone speaking a middle eastern language is the epitome of dumbness
@@danluckner don't forget he said "casa" too for home in Spanish and she may have responded to that, but that in no means signifies she knew exactly what he meant when he then proceeded to speak English.
The American cop speaking Spanish to an old Middle Eastern lady arrested for gathering dandelions is something you would see on South Park.
While I completely agree that the cop was being ridiculous, Spanish and Arabic have actually etymologically influenced each other due to the frequent intermingling of their speakers (think the moors.) I have no idea what language she was speaking, but you might be surprised how much a Spanish speaker and an Arabic speaker can communicate with each other.
@@pheonixpenguin The number of common words is only in the double digits, and they don't have any that are in closed lexical categories.
Dumb as a sack of hair that cop is...
I can’t wait until I’m arrested on my own property for foraging with a knife and a bag. It is only a matter of time.
“Ma’am, what are you doing!?!?!?”
“Gathering wildflower seeds for next year.”
“You’re trespassing!!!!!”
“I own this property.” While wiping my forehead with the hand holding the knife, I get tased. Only a matter of time.
I was thinking the same thing. I love to go out foraging.
Be carful they don’t pull their other officer safety pacifier… it hurts more
She wasn't on her property.
it wasn't her own property and that's why this happened
i live out in the boonies. i don't go any farther than the mailbox without at least one pocket knife. it's not a weapon, it's an everyday tool, simple as that. i genuinely feel bad when my blades get blood on them (which has, more than once, happened when i would lend someone my knife. i hand it to them, closed. they return it, open, and holding up their other hand to show me the cut. 'it's sharp. and i couldn't figure out how to close it.' i can only put my face in my palm at thst point.)
Cowards attacked an old woman collecting flowers! Terrorizing and old woman to pump their ego!
So they arrest her and charge her anyway even tho they know she had no idea what they were saying and after it was confirmed with the family what happened. Just wow. And the chief is bragging about how proud he is of it.
The more I see videos like this, the more I see that when cops f*** up, they HAVE to find multiple reasons to arrest the person. Therefore many arrest reports are deceitful, just to cover their criminal acts...
Had to, without charges they would have looked bad 🤷♀️😊
...keep in mind that this police chief's attitude is what our entire gov't thinks of us these days.
The idiot cop who keeps telling her to sit down in a language she cant understand is just moronic.
Because the only two languages on earth are English and Spanish... /sarcasm
@@priestessofkek2406to play devils advocate you might want to learn some of the language of the country you are living in so dumb shit like this doesn’t happen. Have some way to be able to communicate.
Its her fault fo not understanding English
Exactly
Maybe she should have learnt the language of the country she came to. Might be a good idea.
Tasing an eight-seven year old woman is unconscionable.
Not to European men it's not it's called normal for them 😢
Absolute cowards.
@@gullygullible9774 The fuck are you talking about? It was US policemen tazering her.
trained my IDF, they all look Palestinian
@@Abedeuss You bro is a European it's in your blood to beat up old women azk your grandma or grandfather if still alive if not speak any old man they will tell you the same
Not one officer pulled out their smart phone to try and translate for her.
Completely unbelievable!!! The poor lady has no idea what the hell is happening.
The caller even told the operator that she didn't speak English, that should be passed on to the officers. Screaming at her in English is stupid.
yea she does,she knows exactly wtf she was doing,her playing stupid brings out yours.Send em tf home
This just shows the inability for these officers to think outside the box. The fact that one of them is also the Chief is particularly worrying.
There was absolutely no reason to proceed to arrest her, aside from covering their a** for the use of force.
Came here to say this. It's disgusting
Sadly that's exactly what happened . They are way more worried about how the story is going to look then the actual well-being of the citizens that they are sworn to protect
This is crimanal. Both pigs need to be in jail 😡🤬😱😱
The real problem is the person who hires these criminals
Old lady managed to scape from a Civil war in a devastated country... but couldn't scape from the stupidity of American Cops....
A new low has been achieved!
She should have gone to a country that she could function in.
That statement shows EXACTLY what kind of person you are@@mattbrown5511
I get so infuriated at some of these officers. Some are stupid. Some are too stupid to live unsupervised. Inhumane complete and utter morons. A calm person digging up dandilions attacked and tased. Those cops should probably be put in a home for everyones safety.
They turned down a friend of mine despite the fact he passed the exam. Probably a blessing in disguise because there has been scandal after scandal with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (even back then). No way anyone in their right mind would want to be caught up in that mess.
Absolutely shameful. And not one officer stopped and said this isn't reasonable.
I worked with an elderly Cambodian woman we all called Grandma. She reminded me of my own Grandma who came here in 1921 from Ukraine.
We worked in an industrial park that had planted crab apple trees as landscaping all over. "We" see them as pretty, she sees them as a foraged food source and asked me to go with her to pick some so she wouldn't get in trouble (I did). We actually attracted park security who thought it was "strange" to be picking useless crab apples but left us alone after I explained the situation.
All this woman saw was a source of food and I feel that the police went too far in tasing her. This is first world stupidity where everyone thinks the only place food comes from is the grocery store.
I’m Cambodian, my mom used to pick crab apples each year to pickle and eat them. Can’t imagine getting tased/shot doing such an innocent thing and not being able to speak the language
@@ellohihi She was going to pickle them too! She said they were like a snacky type thing back home. =-)
Georgia cop: “Umm, I don’t understand what you’re saying. High school Spanish don’t fail me now!”
I know.... why would you try to speak Spanish to an Arab woman?
Yeah fr, they should have just known her language.
Tazed because she was foraging for dandelions??? I could only imagine what would have happened to her if she was collecting acorns..............
Good one
Probably less than actually happened to her. After all they couldn't hit that guy and he was handcuffed and locked in a cruiser.
No tased because she didn't drop the knife and kept walking. Maybe learn the language of the country you are moving to live in.
@waynetroutfish142 relax kid. Too much time on mother's iPad will rot your brain
@@waynetroutfish142 imma move to spain even tho i know no spanish whatsoever
Really, these cops are ridiculous. Pitiful.
