"Lonnie Tinsley claims that he called 911 after he went to check on his grandmother, whom he found in her bed, "connected to a portable oxygen concentrator with a long hose." She is "in marginal health, [and] takes several prescribed medications daily," and "was unable to tell him exactly when she had taken her meds," so, Tinsley says, he called 911 "to ask for an emergency medical technician to come to her apartment to evaluate her."
"...because the old woman "took a more aggressive posture in her bed,"an El Reno police officer told another cop to "Taser her!"
"The police then proceeded to approach Ms. Varner in her bed and stepped on her oxygen hose until she began to suffer oxygen deprivation. "The police then fired a Taser at her and only one wire struck her, in the left arm; the police then fired a second Taser, striking her to the right and left of the midline of her upper chest and applied high voltage, causing burns to her chest, extreme pain and to pass out."

Well, like the article states, she DID take an aggressive posture from her bed. No telling what an 86 year old with an oxygen tank can do from that position. I'm surprised they didn't call in an armored ATV vehicle and a SWAT team.

why were ten cops there in the first place? this is for ambulance personnel. cops obviously don't have the proper training or equipment for medical assistance.
- Yes, but they have tazers! They were bought on the taxpayer dime and need to be used!TheBlueOne
