Here's the back story on the old woman who was tased in the back. Yes... it was about "jaywalking."

As can clearly be seen in the attached photo - there is no other place to walk.

Quote:We learned earlier about the 62-year-old woman in Tallahassee, Florida, tased by police as she calmly walked away from them. But the whole entire incident, from before the tasing, is downright appalling. Let's start, using the police's own narrative:
In Tuesday's incident, officers were patrolling the 500 block of Dunn Street off Old Bainbridge Road shortly after 5 p.m., DeLeo said in the news conference.
Several people were walking in the street but moved out of the way when another officer drove past them. They walked back into the street behind behind the officer, who then pulled over and approached them. Police reports say the people were blocking traffic.
As can clearly be seen in the attached photo - there is no other place to walk.
