Here's the kind of strength a person - any person really - can have "on full tilt". I've witnessed it in psychiatric patients - this 47-year-old woman was allegedly under influence of crack cocaine.
So the expression "size doesn't matter" is true then? To some extent, yes. It is quite a dangerous assumption to believe that someone is harmless because he or she is small!
This story also points to the amount of resistance we are all able to muster if we have to fight for our life - real or perceived.
Story:
It took five police officers, three hits with a Taser gun, leg straps and a spit bag to subdue a 5-foot tall, 105-pound woman who entered a Waukesha home and attacked a couple she didn't know with a metal pooper scooper and scissors, authorities said.
With a scissors in each hand, she fought the 6-foot, 210-pound homeowner. He said that he couldn't believe the woman's strength.
When the first officer arrived, the attacker was foaming at the mouth and struggling with the homeowner, the complaint says. She continued to fight the officer who used a Taser gun, but it appeared to have no effect on her. More and more officers were called to assist, and she was stunned with the Taser two more times.
Using their combined weight, five officers were finally able to subdue the woman enough to take her to hospital to check her for injuries.
