Another Police Attack and Out Of Order Officers

So by now everyone with a TV has seen this video of this cop tasering a 72yr old great-grandmother for becoming "violent" with him. There's two things wrong with this. Number one is that this cop chose to disregard his training and used a seriously dangerous weapon on an elderly lady. I have personally, unfortunately, been restrained by police on several occasions, on one of which I was inebriated and uncooperative and had to be restrained by several officers. I was NEVER tasered or even threatened with pepper spray. I am 6' 3" 165lbs and I consider myself strong. On ALL the occasions on which I was restrained, the officers used their body weight and extensive knowledge of pressure points to subdue me with little physical force. The cop in question shoves the elderly woman and then tasers her and the only thing she does to him is swear at him and put him in his place. The second main thing wrong with this situation is that this wussy cop has basically made it known that he is weaker than a 72 YEAR OLD GREAT GRANDMA!!
This cop gets pissed because the old lady does sass the cop and swears at him, insulting his pride. The cop then gets verbally abusive, screaming at the woman and shoving her unprovoked. Then he pulls his taser gun and with the warning barely from his mouth, and the lady standing still, he shoots the old woman with the taser and she falls to the ground screaming in pain. It seems that an overwhelming number of police and law enforcement officers feel above the law and feel they may act however the please. We've all begun to see more and more cops excessively speeding without reason and without emergency lights. I personally watched a cop in Ruckersville, VA turn his lights and siren on at a red light, run the red light making an illegal u-turn, and then cut off his lights and siren and pulled into Sheetz and came in to buy a sandwich. Then there is this re-occurrence of police initiated violence towards suspects, often resulting in lawsuits. These officers have forgotten their job is to protect those people that pay they're checks, the tax-paying public. They instead uphold a mythical "Law" which applies to everyone but them, and to which they clutch so tightly that they refuse to use the discretion afforded to them by their job description. As the tax-paying public we need to speak up and tell our lawmaking representatives that we want someone policing the police, thus enacting the same checks and balances system in place throughout our government, and supporting those law enforcement officers who don't live up to this increasingly growing stereotype, because it is they have been silently screaming inside for someone to correct these out-of-order officers and their behavior. If we continue to be bullied by the same people who swear an oath to serve us, then we will continue to fall victim to their behavior, their consequences, and their cover-ups. Let me clarify my position. I am not disrespecting law enforcement or their job to uphold the laws we make. I applaud good, honest, people who work as law enforcement offiicers, and I know their job is a very dangerous job filled often with the worst people in society. I fully support officers who live by and enforce the law. I have never supported lawlessness or anarchy in any way, my quarrel is only with the fact that no one enforces the law on the enforcers. This is not true for major/violent crimes, though it has happened, but on a day to day a lot of officers seem to act with total disregard to the laws to which they ticket and jail people for everyday. This hypocratic conduct will only worsen as society grows and the number of men and women employed by law enforcement grows as well. Without a better form of regulation of law enforcement, the public will lose more and more freedoms, and the conduct may be called to question in court resulting in an acquital of a guilty person. Support law-abiding law enforcement officers in your area, and report those that conduct themselves otherwise. Long Live America...Long Live Freedom
