While I'm not a fan of police and find using tasers to be out of control... you might want to know a few more of the facts in this case.

1. The guy that called in the initial call to the police did so because granny was threatening to kill herself.

2. Granny may have been confined to a hospital bed, but she was also holding a kitchen knife so getting close to granny wasn't as easy as you might think unless you wanted to get stabbed or cut.

Now frankly stepping on Granny's air hose was probably the safest way to stop her and the taser was probably a little over the top... but granny was the one that told her grandson she was going to kill herself... and if she really wanted to kill herself that day why is she upset now she should have just asked the cops to raise the voltage and zap her again.

The real problem with this story is not so much what the police did but how the media has left out fairly important facts to manipulate the public into a frenzy.
