On Friday of last week the local constabulary in Chatsworth, GA. received a phone call concerning an old lady with a knife "loitering" near a school building. They also mentioned that she was only marginally ambulatory.
The cops showed up and discovered the woman, who is from Syria and does not speak English, gathering dandelions for a salad. They tried to convince her to drop the knife. Tried charades. Didn't work, so they lit her up so she could do the funky chicken. That worked.
The Chief was fully supportive of his officers, pointing out that they followed procedure with a non-compliant armed suspect. The woman's grand-nephew, Solomon Donhne, told the cops that he was formerly a police officer himself and was of the opinion that two young, strong cops should have been able to handle an 87-year old woman who could barely walk, even if she was armed with a knife.
I am inclined to agree with the nephew.
