Also lol @ the thought of calling in more officers to carry the guy down.

You can't treat a senior the same way you treat a young guy. You could really injure the dude and fuck your department over, both of which is not desirable. Tasering an old dude.... you don't know what his medical history are. If he ends up dead, you're fucked. I'm sure officers are trained on how to treat senior citizens certain ways.
So a lot of hugging, face-washing is fine if it gets the job done. No force needed here.

Nlkko, you're not seeing how the officers have already accounted for them being old here -- if they were just regular adults in their 20 - 50's, they would have been tasered and/or physically taken down, with a knee on their torso holding them to the ground, and then hands yanked and cuffed behind their backs already. The grandma arrest, in particular, was super mild. If the granddaughter wasn't a 5 year old kid, do you really think she would have gotten away with punching / hitting the cop the way she did?
The handling of the grandpa wasn't ideal, I'll give you that. But it wasn't unacceptable either.

Civility....this is what we all want.
Act civil, be treated civil. Never have I, nor will I condone unreasonable force or power by someone operating under the colour of law. The privilege to legally use physical force to control someone is a privilege that needs to be scrutinized. But, watching the way the people at that meeting were behaving, it's hard for me to empathize with them.

I wonder why no one is mentioning the 5 year old granddaughter? Seems to me she needs to be taken into child protective custody if a pattern of anti-social behavior can be established with these 2 old fogeys. Going by her behavior towards to cop, it sounds like she's on her way to becoming a self-entitled stuck-up princess.
And what do the parents have to say? According to the CKNW story, they live in Edmonton and they dumped their kid with one of their parents? Had no idea E-town was so inhospitable to children 
Who the fuck brings a 5-year old to a Strata meeting?

[edit] Well, actually, the decision to bring her along to the strata meeting isn't stupid in itself. It'll just be boring and a waste of time for the girl. But what's stupid is, the grandparents decided to throw a temper tantrum in front of their grandchild, and against the cops no less. | |

Exactly, in any sane household one parent should stay home with the kid and the other should go to the meeting. Instead these 2 idiots decided to give her an ill thought out lesson on civil disobedience.

Surprised this thread is still going on. It's getting way off topic too talking about what the couple should've done.
Obviously there are two schools of thought here, those who think dragging the old man down the stairs was not appropriate regardless of what he was doing and those who think it's fine because he wasn't cooperating.
One party won't convince the other since it's a matter of personal value.
