About
I don't have any particular political affiliation but will attach myself to certain issues. I don't like "jargon" to describe people or issues, like "liberal"; I think it's lazy and replaces critical thinking. I read a lot and I put polls up on issues when I want to compare my opinions against those of others. Often I'm surprised and that's what I like about Ask500. I'm back in Maine (thank god) now after having spent 8 months in Germany and 6 weeks in Krakow, Poland. I did go back to Poland, near Warsaw, for six weeks but am back. I'm home for good now.
After years of mostly ending up on the "liberal" side of things, I'm tending right a little over this illegal immigration issue and I'm becoming more jaded about our Congress. I have to fight feeling hopeless about our country.

The officer didn't seem to be able to understand that this woman was no threat. She reverted to some training they were given that did not fit the circumstances.
Looks like the police department in Columbus, Ohio might have a problem: http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2008/08/columbus-ohio-attack-on-long-walkers.html
OMG ! What next ! The police woman is using excessive force, get her off the force before she shoots someone.
No--they don't have a problem--but they would if the lady would have stabbed someone.

She was armed with a weapon, therefore she did pose a threat to herself and other people regardless of her age.
Recently in the USA an 88 year old white supremacist murdered several people in cold blood. If they hadn't looked upon him as a harmless senile old man maybe nobody would have died. Forcibly take them down.
Sorry, suzanna, if this goes to world vote on other sites respondents can't see the link. Marked inappropriate.

[1 point] 3 years ago by deleted user ReplyI agree--can a old woman kill you any less than a young one?? We have no idea what went on to have the police called, what about the 5 minutes before the video?? I am on the side of the cops here, play the game and pay the price--age is not discriminated against.
