Police against old Lady of 87

From the way she was acting after successfully "disarming the assailant" she looks like she regretted what she did, at least to a point. It doesn't change the fact that she threw an old lady on the concrete though. To be fair, the lady technically was armed and potentially dangerous, but my logic and vision tell me that she was in no way a threat. A stupid and irredeemable action that she should regret for the rest of her life. On the other hand, a cop should never come to conclusion that what she did was even remotely necessary.

There was a similar occurrence here in Michigan. A man was shot by a policemen because he reached into his pocket. It wouldn't have happened if the cops weren't doing a drug raid, although I don't know as to whether they found drugs or not.  

That elderly woman shouldn't have been standing so close to them...(sorry I couldn't resist).

You betcha.
