Did a person reacting as she did deserve to get tasered? I say yes.
The fact that she's elderly seems to be being used as a reason that she should not have been tasered and thus be allowed to do whatever she wants to do.
She keeps repeating in the video that she's 72-years-old and dares him to taze her, but I would think a 72-year-old person should know better than to act as she did.
If she really did not want to get tasered or fall to the ground after getting tasered then she should have complied and not begged the deputy to taze her. Most people who do not want to be tasered to not dare anyone else to tase them.

It's also very interesting that she said in an interview (before the dash cam video was released), "I was not argumentative. I was not combative. All of this is a lie."

Either way, apparently it worked out for her pretty well. Her attorney originally asked for $135,000. Instead she was offered a $40,000 settlement by the Travis County Commissioners who are probably more than happy to see this all go away. She accepted the settlement.
Oh, and Constable Richard McCain (in the second video) is not the deputy who pulled her over.
And wow, this apparently happened some time ago. She was pulled over initially May 11, it hit the news May 29 or so, the settlement was offered September 30 or earlier, but she just accepted the settlement October 5.

I may be wrong on this but maby someone from texas can clear it up can you get a concieled weapons permit to carry a hand gun in texas? Who knows if she was packing. Around my place in london ontario last year we had a guy get pulled over with 3 12 gauge shoties in the rear window of his truck. In toronto they found a guy with a houwizer tank round in his apartment. Who knows what s**t people have these days.
yes you can, of all the states of course Texes lol, just have to take a course and a simple test, and boom your strapped. its leagal to carry round a shotgun or rifle w/o license, it just has to be unloaded. lol our laws are retarded
