I may be wrong, I only half-heartedly watched the video, but it seems like 2 people hovering over the scene are some type of staff? That they may be sicking the Officer on her? It just blows my mind that people are being arrested for a mask "violation" while full blown riots are allowed to happen,.....without masks. I have seen a few of these mask arrest videos but yet to see a rioter or protester arrested for a mask violation.

(Sarcasm)...Clearly all 10 people in the stands, spread out over 100ft, were in grave danger.
This wasn't some packed house event with hundreds of people. This is where officer discretion comes in. Survey the situation and decide if she is harming anyone around her.
Once upon a time, I distinctly remember being the only vehicle on a highway for miles. I'm pretty sure no one other then myself and girlfriend were in any kind of danger. Driving at a very high rate of speed, I got pulled over by a local LEO. Went through the process of providing all of the requested documents and questions. I answered all the questions asked honestly and with due respect.
The LEO let me go with a warning telling me to slow the hell down. Which I did.
Attitude and being willing to comply with the law made this whole situation go away. I can only imagine how it would have ended up if I had displayed the same attitude as the woman in the video. I guess I could have displayed the same attitude and unwillingness to comply as this lady, I wonder how that would have ended........
Yeah, she's a real winner.

Reference those riots, you have a valid point.

While it does appear that way, he's a minority LEO, Male. Touch her in the wrong way or spot and all of a sudden there's another accusation and problem. I don't blame him a bit for tasering her, I would not have blamed him if he had tasered her a few more times to "earn" her cooperation. Today's LEOs have a lot on their plates and people are just looking for opportunities to sue.

Agreed. I mean lets be real here, if the LEO really wanted to "subdue" her, he could have easily. He's attempting to be careful with her, probably to avoid hurting her, and for the same reasons rams mentioned above. As for him tazing her, well she brought that on herself. The situation should have been simple, follow the rules, or leave. She decided she didn't have to follow the rules, and she found out the hard way, she was wrong.
The videos that I have seen start with a woman sitting on a bench, who is then accosted by a man in uniform. This is very different from an accused rapist who is violently resisting arrest.
In my opinion, not wearing a mask is a lot closer to driving over the speed limit than it is to rape. The punishment does not fit the crime. If not wearing a mask is a crime, fine the offender, write her a ticket. Do not treat her like she just shot someone.
Accosted? Apparently, we watched different videos or at least our perspectives are different. I would also submit to you that, if you, I or she were stopped for speeding and displayed that attitude and resistance to following the law, then the end result may have been the same for speeding.
Yes very much so.. And a perfect example of what i was talking about earlier, whiny snowflakes pretending they are being persecuted because they are asked to wear a mask.. They have no idea what persecution really is.
No offense MEM, but that's even more ridiculous than your first comparison.
I dont think it is....Dad grew up in Denmark during the Nazi occupation. Moms side came from Czechoslovakia (then soviets) during the same. My "godmother" was jewish and so were 1/2 the friends growing up.
What they were talking and warning about is exactly the same thing that is happening now., Just a larger scale.

When your government requires only Jews to wear masks let us know.

Or like some people here and other places on the net that think only vulnerable or the elderly should quarantine and wear masks, so everyone else can go around continue spreading it.

And framing it as an "American" freedom thang. Stunningly ludicrous.
Make me...
"Oh, you're gonna' wear the mask"...

1st of all, this thing is about as lethal as the common flu, The numbers and stats bear that out.
Second, these "masks" are useless as tits on a boar at stopping anything, even drywall dust or smoke. They got NO chance on something small like a virus. May as well head to the bathroom, grab a washcloth and some dental floss and call it a mask. Same damn thing. It's what the military used to call "psychological armor". It's a feel-good measure and nothing more.
Given both of the above, the entire thing is nothing more than an exercise in power, fear-mongering, and blind obedience of the sheeple.

None of that is true, including, but not limited to, tits being useless on a Boar. Boobs is boobs.
Not saying you can't believe it all if you want to, but that still don't make it true.

Yep. The four people that I personally know that have tested positive and had any kind of symptoms were wearing mask everywere they go. Everyone else I know and myself, no mask, no problems and been around the positive people and their possible transmitters. Go figure.
