    Hmmmm, just the word of the media, no video even though one is available....

    If you look into it further, we have a woman who prefers to dress the way she was taught in her native land, and looks out of place in the "upscale neighborhood" she lives in Georgia...

    the poor woman doesn't understand a single word of English even though she has lived here over a decade...she is walking this upscale neighborhood with a large "Kitchen Knife" cutting dandelions which her neighbors may be used to, but someone who wasn't aware of her habit was startled enough to call the police....

    then unable to communicate with each other, the women walks toward the police, and the police can't do what they should do, they have to do what the powers that be have mandated for them in order to be politically correct....

    Knowing a lot of people from that part of the country, and how kind the people are, I seriously doubt anyone wanted to taze this old woman for the he!! of it.....just like even being from the midwest where we eat a "LOT" home grown veggies, I have "never" heard of eating dandelions in a salad...my back yard is a gold mine in the spring!

    But hey, you have to be politically correct in this world today even though your d@mned if you do, and d@mned if you don't!

    What this is, is another failure of this new standard we are held to, which when it fails it isn't the fault of the idiots that impose all this nonsense upon us, it is our fault!

    What a shame an incident like this is!

    I should have been more specific ,  Dandelion greens is what we had on salad , Not the flowers .

    Same here!

    Further to use of the young leaves in salad, soup or pesto, you can make jelly from the yellow blossoms. /methinks that it was widely used here during the post-war shortages. Today, a German cooking site cites 236 recipies.

    Dandelion is called "Löwenzahn" - lion's tooth - in German. Oddly enough, one of the recipies is named "lion's teeth" (Löwenzähne), but it's sweet dough with vanilla (without dandelions), baked in special cake pans, resembling french fries.

    What a pity that I never received them as a child!

    LMAO, I know, overcome by curiosity I searched Dandelion recipes and there was an endless number of them come up LOL

    I am still shocked by the fact that my family were good 'ol country folk, and I never even heard of this in 6 decades...LOL
