Deputy not indicted for Tasering 72-year-old woman
By Associated Press


A deputy in Texas who shocked a 72-year-old woman with a Taser after she dared him to has been cleared by a grand jury.

A Travis County grand jury declined to indict Deputy Constable Christopher Bieze (BEEZ) on Wednesday on a charge of injury to an elderly person.

Bieze used a Taser on Kathryn Winkfein after she refused to sign a traffic citation on May 11. He had stopped her for speeding on Texas 71 west of Austin. Video from a camera mounted in the deputy's car captured the 4-foot-11 Granite Shoals woman struggling with Bieze and daring him to use the Taser on her.

An internal investigation concluded Bieze did not violate any county policies and he wasn't disciplined.

1. Yep. The state-sponsored domestic terrorists have free reign...
to use their electrocution pain-compliance devices in any way they want.

Great job, America.

3. Street 'Justice'
If you want to be a cop you probably shouldn't be one. Draft the police.

Oh, yes.

Why can't Travis County EVER follow though with actual CONVICTIONS of criminals?
