:... was simply on the property to cut dandelions with a kitchen knife"

To cut dandelions with a kitchen knife??? Oh, yeah. Those are tough boogers.

"Being that Al-Bishara speaks Arabic …"

Being that Al-Bishara speaks Arabic does not speak English, the language of the country in which she resides.

Fixed it.

she likely did not understand the officers when they were telling her to put down the knife.

Well, if I were in some Arab country holding a knife and I had a gun and a taser pointed at me by uniformed police, and they were yelling at me in Arabic and pointing at the knife, I think I would know what they wanted me to do.

Is it ok to taser an 87 year old woman cutting flowers with a knife?

Does your answer change if the 87 year old women is an Arab?

“If they would have approached her with an open hand rather than with their guns drawn, she would have ...

… detonated her suicide vest. Nah. Just kidding. She would have stabbed him.

it ok to taser an 87 year old woman cutting flowers with a knife?

She wasn't cutting flowers at the time. She was holding the knife and refused to drop it. So, yes.

"Does your answer change if the 87 year old women is an Arab?"

No. Actually, if she's Arab she can be tasered even if she doesn't have a knife. She could be concealing a suicide vest.

Walking with a knife is not a crime,

Oh, yeah. Those are tough boogers.

They are if you're going for the roots and greens. A knife makes good sense if you're probing to get the roots.

" They are if you're going for the roots and greens. A knife makes good sense if you're probing to get the roots. "

That is right. When I was a kid, my grandmother would go out and harvest such things, besides the dandelions, she would also harvest greens called Polk ( sp ? ). She would cook that stuff, add it to cooked spinach, mustard greens, etc. She would also add it to salads, make tea, etc. She would wear a sun bonnet, and a big apron, and always carried a steak knife with serrated blade. She would harvest quite a bit in the morning, and hold up her apron and put her harvest in that.

Cops back then had common sense, and understood such things. Unlike the metrosexual wimps today that have no common sense.

The old lady in this story is lucky they did not dispense two to the chest & one to the head !

The cop that tazered her should be demoted to washing cars.

That is right. When I was a kid, my grandmother would go out and harvest such things, besides the dandelions, she would also harvest greens called Polk ( sp ? ). She would cook that stuff, add it to cooked spinach, mustard greens, etc.

When all said in done I think there will be a retraction of the story but who cares because it did what it was suppose to do which is push wedge between the police and the people.

Just my opinion but we shall see.

A knife makes good sense if you're probing to get the roots.

No, a weeder makes good sense if you're probing to get the roots.

Let me guess ... she uses a sword to cut down apples?

According to police, they received a call from a Boys and Girls club employee noting that Martha Al-Bishara, 87, was walking a trail with a knife.

Walking a trail, you say.

The family told police that Al-Bishara was simply on the property to cut dandelions with a kitchen knife

That Matt Agorist is an artist with words in the same way that Dicky Dunn was. Was the property her front yard, someone else's yard, or some public property?

Being that Al-Bishara speaks Arabic, she likely did not understand the officers when they were telling her to put down the knife.

When you are standing with a knife (or other weapon) in your hand, and a police officer is standing with a gun in his hand, and he has it pointed at you, that is the international language telling you to put the knife (or other weapon) down.

Now the question is did the officer with the TASER dart hit the areola for 25 points, or was it a double bullseye worth 50 points.

CHATSWORTH, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia police chief said an officer was justified in using a Taser to stun an 87-year-old woman after she didn't obey commands to drop a knife in her hand.

Martha Al-Bishara was charged with criminal trespass and obstructing an officer Friday, when police held her at gunpoint before bringing her to the ground with a jolt from the electrified prongs of a stun gun.

[...]

"An 87-year-old woman with a knife still has the ability to hurt an officer," Chatsworth Police Chief Josh Etheridge told the Daily Citizen-News of Dalton.

"There was no anger, there was no malice in this," Etheridge said. "In my opinion, it was the lowest use of force we could have used to simply stop that threat at the time."

Etheridge responded along with two other officers Friday after an employee of a local Boys and Girls Club called 911 to report a woman with a knife was walking outside and would not leave.

"She's old so she can't get around too well, but," the employee said on the 911 recording. "Looks like she's walking around looking for something, like, vegetation to cut down or something. There's a bag, too."

When Al-Bishara didn't follow commands to drop her knife, Etheridge said, he tried to communicate with her by taking his own pocket knife and throwing it on the ground.

But Al-Bishara's relatives said the officers should have shown more patience.

However did Matt Agorist ever miss that criminal trespass charge?

She should thank her lucky camel she wasn’t shot. They used the taser for what it was designed for.

Take your anti cop shit elsewhere, drug loving paultard.

When all said in done I think there will be a retraction of the story but who cares because it did what it was suppose to do which is push wedge between the police and the people.

That’s Dicktards goal... push the wedge between the police and his LF sheeple following.

Too much phun!

No. Actually, if she's Arab she can be tasered even if she doesn't have a knife. She could be concealing a suicide vest.

You've just convinced me that you're retarded.

And funny, not in a ha-ha way.

...it did what it was suppose to do which is push wedge between the police and the people.

Cops and our "benevolent" rulers are doing a pretty good job on their own - the article merely points out one example.

Only for those that drink the Black Lies Matters kool-Aid, Paultard.

Law enforcement, in general, does an excellent job. Even ICE. It’s been a LIBTARDED AGENDA to paint them with a wide brush, otherwise, by the LEFT, starting with you drug loving Paultards.

Fail to drop a knife, when told to drop a knife, REGARDLESS IF YOU UNDERSTAND OUR LANGUAGE... will cause you to ride the LIGHTENING (be tasered for you dumb shits), or maybe even get shot.

Spend your paultard energy trying to convince smelly immigrants TO LEARN OUR LANGUAGE BEFORE THEY ARRIVE.

How can they when the MSM wants SJW crap to be the theme everyday until there is no policing force and criminals rule the street.

Ferguson was a criminal who got what he deserved. Only morons believe any other story than that.

There has to be police and they have to have the ability to do their job of enforcing laws. If you do not like the god damn laws then change them leave the police out of it. You and your kind are idiots for fighting the spear head instead of the person behind the spear. For the slow that is politicians local, state and federal.

Shut your drug loving pud puller

I’ve told that cop hating, criminal loving paultard that, hundreds of times. He’s a fucking ANARCHIST with a pro drug agenda. He will not speak towards common sense. He has an AGENDA to propagate to his sheeple forum followers.

He doesn't give a fuck about right, wrong or reality.

Shut your drug loving pud puller

How do you know that Deckard has a, "drug loving pud puller?" BTW, what is it?

pud puller is. You have one around your big fat maw... called your lips

Too much information on GI's Fire Island life style choice! For the canaries, every topic ends up with advocacy to convert to their LEO gayblade cult.
