Police stun-gun grandma cutting dandelions
20 November
Police in Georgia overreacted when confronted by an elderly woman picking dandelions with a kitchen knife. After the 87-year-old Syrian refugee failed to comply with their order to put the knife down, they proceeded to taser her. What the officers didn’t realise was that the woman couldn’t understand their instructions because she only spoke Arabic. Even so, the police charged the elderly lady. Her family is contesting.
