Police kill 93 year old Texas woman after she fails driving test

They couldn't talk her down? Experts.

Nice cup of Tea maybe?

I say get everyone out of the house and let granny tire herself out. Then sneak in while she's having a little after noon nap and take her gun. Everyone laughs it off in the end. I mean it is not like the courts are going to put granny away.

Who knows though. She may have been playing possum with them, and then whipped it out when they got close.

Yeah, I'm not in the FTP crowd per se - but I'm on the cautious side - but that seems extreme.

You know I get the cautious part. I have worked with some special people over the years and I just get it. It actually makes my job harder when guys do stupid shit or lie to people. I do exactly what I say I am going to do, and tell people exactly why I am there, or why I need to talk to them.

Hell, I was always a bit nervous about my grandmother pulling that same bullshit. She didnt run for the gun, but when I had to go up there and take her keys away, It looked as though she had the "well, my life is over, might as well kill these fuckers taking my life away" thought process going on.

She looked like Tyler Perry in drag.

Is she in "whiteface"?

She gave up fried chicken for grilled.

So because a officer has been unfortunate enough to be in two deadly force incidents he should be punished? Regardless of if he saved some ones life or was being shot at? Sounds rational.

Just as if a dog bites someone, no matter if it's warranted, the dog is viewed as dangerous, a cop should be as well. If you are killing someone every couple years, you obviously failed the talking part of your training and should be doing something else, like flipping burgers, until you learn to talk to someone without killing them.

Maybe if military personnel kill somebody they should be fired also.

Wow. You are totally disconnected from reality, man.

You mean if they kill citizens? I agree. Otherwise, killing people was in my job description and not once was I called Peace Anything.

I have been told that.

Small town cops don't mess around. It isn't always chasing cows that get out and writing tickets to the county road workers. Sometimes you have to go all the way on a 93 year old women.

If she was waving a gun around in their direction, after refusing to drop it, then I don't see any problem with them swiss cheesing that bitch.

Hearne is a railroad town that is the biggest pos town ever. Not suprised about this from the officers I have met who work at hearne.

my first trip there my engineer told me not to drink the tap water unless i wanted to sleep with my family members and my teeth to fall out.

fuck hearne.

That has to be the STUPIDEST thing I have ever seen you post.
It aint freaking Maberry RFD most places anymore. Hell Chicago has 20-30 murders some weekends. I wouldn't think it unusual for some of the cops up there that work the shit holes to have a few shootings...

And on this deal, the ladies own son couldn't talk her out of the gun. It was so out of control HE called the cops... I wasn't there, don't know if the shoot was legit, but I don't care how old you are if you're waving a gun my way, that's on you...
