I don't. I just keep thinking, she's in a wheelchair. She can't really jump someone.
The only reason to do this is:
a) she has a hold of someone or someone cornered and is threatening them
b) she is going to hurt herself
I just don't see an old woman in a wheelchair being as much of a threat as a one who is not in a wheelchair.
Heck, you could get a long stick and knock over her wheelchair... it would have probably been safer.
Shooting an old person with a Taser is just not the smartest thing to do.
Don't get me wrong, I am in no way defending granny's actions here. She was out of line... but it just seems to me that other things could have been done.
Again, what would they have done if they didn't have a taser (as many Police departments don't)?
