Talk about disillusioned. I was always led to believe that Texans were real he-man types who ate wimps for breakfast. Is tasering a 72-year-old great-grandmother really necessary guys? I mean, come on! What is going to be your defense? Were you really that scared? Did you fear for your life?

I’m really embarrassed for you. I’m embarrassed for all of the Texas police force. I suppose if you folks met up with someone a little bit stronger than a 72-year-old great-grandmother, you might want to start worrying that you may just get that taser shoved up your collective ass.

Texas cop Tasers great-grandmother

A traffic stop for speeding in a construction zone led to the tasering of a 72-year old great-grandmother by a Texas deputy. Kathryn Winkfein, 72, of Granite Schoals, Texas was then handcuffed, and taken away to jail for resisting arrest and detention.

The deputy said that when he asked Winkfein to sign the speeding ticket he issued, she refused, used profane language and became violent, at which point he tased her.

The great-grandmother admits to speeding, but denies the rest of the deputy’s allegations, and has hired an attorney to represent her, she tells a Fox News reporter:
