Lonnie Tinsley of El Reno, Oklahoma
<http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/06/24/TaserGranny.pdf> made a nearly
fatal mistake last December 22 when he went to check on his grandma,
Lona Vernon.
Concerned that Lona hadn't taken her medications, Lonnie called 911 in
the expectation that an emergency medical technician would be dispatched
to the apartment to evaluate the bedridden 86-year-old woman
<http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/06/24/28330.htm>.
Instead, that call for help was answered by nearly a dozen armed
tax-feeders employed by the El Reno Police Department.
Understandably alarmed --- and probably more than a little disgusted ---
by the presence of uninvited armed strangers in her home, Lona ordered
them to leave. This directive, issued by a fragile female octogenarian
confined to a hospital-style bed and tethered to an oxygen tank, was
interpreted as "aggressive" behavior by Officer Thomas Duran, who
ordered one of his associates : "Taser her!"
Read the rest and be horrified:
