two big officers taser 90 pound woman
Video Shows Woman Tased by Officer, Claims Police Brutality

--------------------

Chelsea Garrett, 23, bounced off a median wall and hit a vehicle in Akron and then left the scene of the accident and then almost swiped a Stow cruiser Nov. 5.

After the Stow officer pulled Garrett over on Graham Road, she got out of her car and was eventually tased — as seen in the dashcam video uploaded to this post.

She was charged with reckless operation, a minor-misdemeanor.

"The only comment I can make at this time is that the Use of Force Committee is reviewing the incident," said Stow Police Chief Louis Dirker.

The 90-pound woman told Fox 8 she is a diabetic and took some over-the-counter cold medicines which made her in "a delirious state" during the incident earlier this month.

2. Practicing medicine without a license.
The good old shock treatment.

3. Our local cops tasered a mid 80's man with dementia for
urinating in a park a few years ago. They claimed he was combative.

4. And this week we had headlines about
the assault on a deaf bicyclist who didn't stop because he didn't hear the order, and the handcuffing of a four-year-old for taking dried fruit from a grocery store shelf.

And that is not even to mention the deliberate, coordinated assaults on peaceful Americans exercising their right to protest.

We need a serious retraining of our "defenders" and "protectors."

5. Use of Force Committee?
If there's a single cop on it, it isn't worth shit...
