Be careful out there you older folk Police officers use taser to subdue nude 80-year-old granny Police confronted an 80-year-old woman in St. George, S.C. She was naked, wielding a stick and quoting scriptures. They tried to calm her and cover her with a blanket, but after she tried to hit them with her stick, they were forced to use a taser on her. CBS Charlotte reports the old lady was not wearing any clothes. She wielded her metal cane menacingly and looked very agitated. She got into an argument with the landlord over refund of her deposit and broke three windows in a rage, banged her metal cane aggressively on porch railings and spoke "confusingly." The officer and three others tried to calm her down. She claimed she was the Old Testament biblical character Job and quoted scriptures. According to eyewitnesses, she swung her sturdy metal cane around freely. St. George police Chief Anthony Britt, said that when an officer tried to "tackle" her she "almost clipped him in the head." MSN Now reports that while some officers distracted her by trying to talk to her, another approached her from behind and tasered her. Britt said he told another officer "She's in a safe position, just go ahead and tase her so we can prevent anybody from getting hurt." Daily Mail reports that Ms. Brown continued quoting her Job scriptural verses even after she had been tasered, but the officers managed to wrap a blanket around her and subdue her. The old lady has since been taken for psychiatric evaluation and her family has reportedly thanked the officers for their intervention. The police chief has defended his decision to use a taser on the lady, saying: "We did all we could do. We had to take her down before someone got hurt. Post and Courier reports Britt said: âShe was rattling off quotes from the Bible, saying she was Job. We were the devil-worshipers." But according to the police officer who lives in the neighbourhood, Ms. Brown was "usually a sweet old lady." Neighbours agreed with the officer's assessment and insisted that the police used more force than was necessary on the old woman. According to Daily Mail, one of her neighbours Troy Hallman, said: "Sheâs the sweetest lady in the world. I don't know why they had to shoot her." Daily Mail reports the incident happened last month in St. George, Dorchester County, S.C. According to Daily Mail, neighbours of the 80-year-old woman named Dorris Brown, have complained about police action, saying they needn't have used a taser but "could have done something else." The Post and Courier reports neighbours who knew the 80-year-old woman said she was "a mild-mannered, God-fearing woman." They said she leaned on a metal cane when she walked and had her heart connected to a pacemaker. Post and Courier reports neighbours said she was angry that her former landlord had allegedly refused to repair roof leaks and she complained of smelly carpets as a result. According to the The Post and Courier, it was about 12.50 a.m. when a police officer who lived in the neighbourhood heard noise from outside and thought it was a burglar who had been breaking into homes recently. But it was Ms Brown causing "commotion" in the house where she was formerly a tenant. Another neighbour Doreather Green, said: "That is bad, that is bad. They could have done something else besides tasing her with that gun." Neighbours said that on Thursdays and Sunday evenings, she would clutch her Bible and walk to church. According to The Post and Courier, her church pastor said that Brown âwas a very, very religious lady.â CBS Charlotte reports that no charges were filed against her though she damaged property worth $250.
I couldn't quite remember how it went so I had to look it up but I thought you'd like this one. Job Interview A chap goes to the Council for a job. The interviewer asks him - "Have you been in the armed services?" Yes" he says "I was in the Falklands for three years." The interviewer says "That will give you extra points toward employment" and then asks "Are you disabled in any way?" The guy says "Yes 100%... a land mine blew my testicles off." The interviewer tells the guy "OK.I can hire you right now. The hours are from 8:00 AM . to 4:00 PM . You can start tomorrow. Come in at 10:00AM ." The guy is puzzled and says "If the hours are from 8:00AM to 4:00 PM why do you want me to come in at 10:00 AM? " "This is a council job" the interviewer replies. "For the first two hours we sit around scratching our balls...no point in you coming in for that........."
