CHATSWORTH POLICE OFFICER TASERS 87-YEAR-OLDSYRIAN WOMAN CUTTING DANDELIONS WITH A KNIFE

Police report stated an 87-year-old woman later identified as Martha Al-Bishara, Syrian, was tased and arrested in the woods near her rural Georgia home after receiving a call from an employee of a Boys and Girls Club nearby, about a woman walking the streets brandishing a knife. 
Al-Bishara had been in the woods cutting dandelions with a knife and was reported she doesn't speak english.

However, the police are receiving a lot of backlash as many believe the use of force was unnecessary and that the officer's action could be classified as police brutality.

A transcript of the 911 call was released by the police department:

"There's a lady walking on the bike trails, she has a knife and she won't leave. She told me she doesn't speak English, and she's walking up the trail with a knife towards me." - the caller told a 911 dispatcher

"It looks like she's walking around looking for something, vegetation to cut down or something. She has a bag too," the caller added.

The Boys and Girls Club employee told the 911 dispatcher that the woman did not appear to be a threat.

"But she came at you with a knife, though, right?" 911 dispatcher asked the caller. "No, she just brought the knife onto the property in her hand, she didn't try and attack anybody or anything," the caller said.

Police officers arrived at the scene, and asked Al-Bishara, to drop the knife, according to the police report.

"Her demeanor was calm, even when we had our guns out," an officer noted in the police report.

Officers began making hand gestures to indicate dropping a knife, but the woman still did not comply, the report states.

At that point, Al-Bishara began to walk toward the group and did not react when one of the officers  tased her, according to the police report.

"The female did not react to the Taser being on, or the white light coming from the end of the Taser," the reporting officer noted.

Another woman who then arrived on the scene identified herself as Al-Bishara's daughter-in-law said the octogenarian wanders into the woods looking for dandelions and collects them using a knife, also said Al-Bishara has dementia and speaks Arabic according to the police report.

The police has openly stated the officers used the least possible force, and believes their actions were justified.

Al-Bishara's court appearance is scheduled for September 19.
