An Ontario woman and her 80-year-old mother are suing Peel Regional Police and three of its officers for more than $1.1 million after the elderly woman was Tasered twice in late August.
Iole Pasquale was Tasered twice on Aug. 28 after Peel police officers found her walking in a Mississauga neighbourhood with an eight-inch knife around 3:30 a.m.
According to police, the woman had refused to drop the knife. Her family has said the knife she was holding was a bread knife.

She was walking with a knife and maybe one taser should have been enough.

Crazy or not she is going down. Did her lawyer see this video before suing?.

In this video the officer was left with no choice. Every circumstance is different and unfortunately most decisions on an officers part are made in a split second and usually come with major ramifications.

Do have to wonder about that. A clear case that the officer did the right thing.
