United States News Title: Ohio woman arrested, tased for not wearing mask at middle school football game A woman at a grade-school football game in Ohio on Wednesday was reportedly tased and arrested by a police officer for not wearing a face mask in the stands. The woman was sitting in the bleachers with her mother when she got into an altercation with the cop about mask-wearing at a middle school in the town of Logan, the Marietta Times reported. Video of the incident, which was posted to YouTube, shows the woman resisting as the officer struggles to handcuff her for nearly two minutes before he deploys his Taser. WARNING: THIS VIDEO MIGHT CONTAIN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE The woman, identified in the report as Alecia Kitts, repeatedly tells the officer to “get off of me,” the video shows. “You’re not arresting me for nothing, I ain’t doing nothing wrong,” she yells after the officer orders her to place her hands behind her back. Once the officer tases Kitts, she falls to a lower tier of the bleachers, according to the footage. The use of force shocked others watching the game. “Tasing this lady over not wearing a damn mask,” a witness can be heard saying. As the woman is finally hauled away, her mother pleads with the cop: “Come on, it’s just a mask!” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 14. #3. To: Deckard, A K A Stone (#0) A woman at a grade-school football game in Ohio on Wednesday was reportedly tased and arrested by a police officer for not wearing a face mask in the stands. The report is in error. Allegedly, after she was asked to leave for violating school policy, and refused, she was arrested for criminal trespassing. She was tased due to her resisting arrest. These are the two misdemeanor charges to be filed against her. The officer was a school resource officer. Regarding the cops not wearing a mask, the Ohio Department of Health Director's Order of July 23, 2020 ordering facial coverings throughout the state, section 2, contains a provision that "The requirement to wear a facial covering does not apply when: . . . "g. The individual is actively engaged in a public safety capacity, including but not limited to law enforcement, firefighters or emergency medical personnel."

" The individual is actively engaged in a public safety capacity, including but not limited to law enforcement... Isn't that convenient? Ohio law allows for a mask exemption for medical conditions - the lady has asthma. Good grief! She was OUTDOORS, at least a six feet away from anyone there was no risk to anyone until they started hassling her. Did you see anyone get up and run away? Gee whiz, they could have just asked her to move further away. Your hatred for freedom has been duly noted. May your chains rest lightly quisling.
#5. To: Deckard (#4) I'm in Ohio and I NEVER ever wear a mask anywhere. No one says shit. Mask wearing freaks.
#7. To: A K A Stone (#5) (Edited) Well I'm in Ohio and I NEVER ever wear a mask anywhere. No one says shit. Mask wearing freaks. Well, I am saying SHIT. You could be a carrier of COVID-19 with total disregard of and about simple societal precautions for spreading the pandemic. Shame on you, pal.

#14. To: buckeroo (#13) My civic duty is not to entertain your delusions and pretend they are real. You have a weak mind. Like I said you're stupid.
