The worst thing about this story is the quote The Portland City Council approved the settlement, based on a review by the city's risk management division that indicated "there is risk the City may be found liable."
They beat the shit out of an old, blind woman, I had better hope that they be found liable. Unless she was breaking out the sai lum pai kung fu and kicking their asses like some ancient Shaolin master, or Granny was cranked up on meth, there's no reason at all for the police to taser an old woman and kick her while she's on the ground.
thats is a bunch of fucking bull shit
