Proud to be a native Oklahoman

From my home state comes this troubling tale:

In El Reno Oklahoma, police were called to an apartment in town by the 86 year old woman’s grandson. The grandson called police and told them the woman was threatening to kill herself with medication. The police entered the residence and were ordered out of the apartment by the woman. She told police she was in control of her own life and wanted to die. She then drew a knife on the officers who in turn tasered the woman. She was then taken to a local hospital, and then, transported to a mental hospital for observation.

Isn’t tasering potentially, even likely, fatal  for an 86 year old….then again so is a hot shower or sudden drop in barometric pressure! Next time let her have the pills, its more humane!
