| Granny gets tasered for speeding |
| 2009-06-12 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] An American police officer shoots a 72-year-old woman with a taser gun after she refused to sign a speeding ticket and confronted him. Chris Bieze, a Travis County sheriff's deputy, stopped Kathryn Winkfein for driving at 60 mph (97 km/h) in a 45-mile-per-hour construction zone west of Austin. When Winkfein refused to sign the speeding ticket, Bieze reportedly ordered her out of her white pick-up truck, told her she was under arrest, and was later caught on camera tasering her for confronting him. Travis County Constable's Office released a controversial video footage that shows the elderly women getting shot twice after she dared the police officer to do so and tried to get back in her car. The video shows her moaning and falling to the ground while the shocks jolted through her body. Winkfein was examined by emergency medical staff at the scene and was determined to be unharmed before being taken into custody. Winkfein admits she was speeding but denies resisting arrest. |

| #6 I doubt he's going to lose his job, Jumbo. Saw an interview with the sheriff and he said the officer was in the right, IHHO. Can't believe she eats and kisses babies with that mouth, though. Stay classy, Kathryn. |

| #5 Winkfein's teutonic rant appears to have been successfully brought under control through electricity. Back to the Hill Country Kathryn and show a little more respect for law enforcement officers next time. |

| #4 The old b!tch was totally asking for it. I don't see why the officer should be punished. |

| #3 kinda like her spirit. Kinda like the spirit of the cop who tasered her too. But then, I can't argue against the fact that he will lose his job because should have known better. What can I say? |
