Great Grandma Got Run Over By Reindeer (Not Really She Was Tasered Bv A Texas Sheriff) Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Great-grandma Kathryn "Sue" Winkfein comes across as an awfully nice, polite woman.
Imagine this if you can
So just how did this 4-foot-11,72-year-old wind up getting Tasered by a cop
Because she refused to stop
She had a fit
"I just lost my temper; I do that maybe twice a year, but that day I just lost it, "
Winkfein told TODAY's Matt Lauer Tuesday about the May 11 incident
She was a murderer no bank robber that was not her intent
Nor she was not nn 10 Most Wanted List not even close to the top
when a sheriff's constable leveled her with a Taser gun
during what had started out as a routine traffic stop.
That was no fun.
You see
The retired schoolteacher, who holds a master's degree,
appeared alongside her son, Steve Eastland, and her attorney,
Thomas Tourtellotte
not to be confused wih tomas toilettes
She sued and received some compensation of sort
Winkfein recently received an out-of-court,
$40,000 settlement from Travis County, Texas,
I though heard a line in a song 'Texas protects us'
What did Texas bring?
for her pain and suffering
The cops had a 'cow'
— which has the county's constables crying foul.

Constable Christopher Bieze pulled Winkfein over after he spotted her driving 60 mph through a 45-mph construction zone along a Travis County highway. As his dashboard camera footage shows, when Bieze asked her to sign a ticket guaranteeing her appearance in court, Winkfein snapped back, "Take me to jail. Go on, take me to jail — a 72-year-old woman! "

Bieze then ordered Winkfein out of her pickup truck
No such luck
so he could arrest her. Then things got ugly.
One can clear she
When Winkfein walked toward a busy highway lane,
She did not forsee her pain
Though she had been older
Bieze shoved her back toward the shoulder
She hollered at the cop a bit
She shouted at Bieze, "Give me the f- -ing [ticket] and I'll sign it."
Oh dear!
But by now the situation had escalated to the point where Bieze threatened to Taser her.
She shot back, "Go ahead, Tase me! "
Did I hear her right you see
She would later have her 15 minutes of fame, Andy Warhol style, and become a media star
Winkfein then announced she was getting back in her car
Her future was imminent, her fate met

After more shoving and shouting, Bieze made good on his threat
— he Tasered Winkfein twice, sending her crumpling to the ground.

All 97 pounds
of her
She would be no more so to speak 'on the lam'
Her cries of pain were captured on the dash-cam.

Travis County Constable Richard McCain told NBC he believed the settlement was a miscarriage of justice. "When the county wrote a check for $40,000, we rewarded this defendant for bad behavior, which is wrong, " he said.

It is more than fair thank God she's no dead

When Lauer asked Winkfein if she believed she deserved the award, she said, "I don't know that I have an opinion on that. I'm not a money person, you know what I'm saying? But then Steve and I go, ‘Well, even poor people don't like being poor.' But we're not a greedy type"

The Today Show is plenty of hype.
