Chatsworth, GA — A family is outraged and a great-grandmother
recovering after she was tasered in her breast for failing to understand
police when they told her to drop a knife she was using to reportedly
cut flowers.
According to police, they received a call from a Boys and Girls club
employee noting that Martha Al-Bishara, 87, was walking a trail with a
knife. The caller noted that Al-Bishara was not threatening anyone and
appeared to be “walking around looking for something, like, vegetation
to cut down or something.” She also had a bag.
According to her family Al-Bishara’s taser attack was captured on
body camera footage and they were able to watch it. However, citing
pending charges against the great-grandmother, police are not releasing
it publicly.
The family told police that Al-Bishara was simply on the property to
cut dandelions with a kitchen knife—a story backed up by the transcripts
of the 911 call. The bag in her hand, the description from the 911
call, and the fact that the woman never threatened anyone should’ve
given officers this impression. Instead, however, a gun and a taser were
pointed at her.
Being that Al-Bishara speaks Arabic, she likely did not understand
the officers when they were telling her to put down the knife.
According to the family, the video shows Chatsworth Police Chief
Josh Etheridge pointing a gun at Al-Bishara before another officer
deploys the taser striking the great-grandmother in her left breast and
her stomach.
