    Not only was her memory erased, but it also gave her superpowers.

    She had the chose of a Taze or getting wrestled to the ground and cuffed. She was obnoxious and defied the officer. I can't believe she got 40k for this. Ridiculous. Next time they should just club her.

    I am in favor of them dragging her out of the studio and tasering her again. Maybe they can taser her enough to blank out the "be an asshole to cops" part of her memory.

    My grandma would give this lady a piece of her mind - sternly, but politely.

    And then she'd drive home at the posted speed limit.

    She sped through a construction zone, endangering the lives of the workers, and then put the police officer in the dangerous position of being between her and the speeding traffic. She then goes on national television to crow about being given $40k (+ whatever she received to sit down in studio with Matt Lauer). Neither the fame-seeking, nor the shameless money grubbing really bother me. What irked me was that she seemed to not give a whit about accepting responsibility for her actions (speeding, refusing to obey the police officer's orders).
    What an utter dunderhead ass.

    @Bret: As a former Police Officer, my experience with tasing has always been with an individual resisting arrest/commands and/or placing myself and the public in harm's way. We were also tased in the Academy. It does not cause short term memory loss (Granny's selective memory) and is more psychological than physical. Unfortunately in Granny's eyes, it is the Officer's fault for him doing his job. Part of the reason, I am now in the private sector. I do not have to deal with those who do not take responsibility for their actions.

    @longdx: I was tased at a police convention a few years ago. Honestly it looks a lot worse then it is to. Not that I'd want to go through that again. Also, short term memory loss? What's that all about, it paralyzes your muscles, doesn't knock you out..

    Even little old ladies can be complete dipshits. So it's not just BMW drivers.

    For me it always lessens the moral dilemmas when everyone involved acts like utter fools.

    She was a resistor to arrest and its clear on the tape. No need to amp up the situation and shock people into believing she was harmless.

    She's obviously a mid-level GM executive.
