WAUPACA COUNTY - Police acted too aggressively, that’s what one woman is telling FOX 11, after she saw an officer use a stun gun on a man in his 80’s.

The incident happened almost two weeks ago near the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King in Waupaca County. The sheriff’s department determined the officer acted appropriately.
….
Lick says she witnessed a Waupaca County Sheriff’s officer using a taser gun on a man from the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King.

“With the second tase the officer just kept screaming at this poor man and telling him, ‘stay down, stay down, stay down,” you know, I remember that,” Lick told FOX 11. “It was horrifying because this elderly man did not know what was going on.”

The Sheriff’s department refused to do an on camera interview, but told FOX 11 a deputy responded to a call about a suicidal individual, and when the Sheriff’s deputy arrived, he started speaking with the veteran and said he needed to see his hands, for the safety of the deputy.

“I want our community to know that this was not handled in the proper manner. This man did not deserve what happened to him. Absolutely not. There are other alternatives. He was not combative, however they want to say it. I saw what I saw. Nobody’s going to change my mind. I tell the truth. And I want our community to know that this officer acted inappropriately, point blank,” said Lick.

Lick says she feels for the man’s family, his wife passed away a few days prior to the incident. Lick also says her own father has dementia, and hopes officers will not act like this in the future, when dealing with what she believes was a confused veteran.

Bastard cop tases an 80-yr old confused recent widower and the dept. thinks that it’s perfectly reasonable behavior on the part of the officer. Unbelievable.
