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!”

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.
And yet, the fact remains that she was not arrested for violating Ohio mask law, or for not wearing a mask, but for criminal trespass after refusing to comply with school policy in compliance with OHSAA policy.
It also remains that it is irrelevant to a charge of criminal trespass whether she was social distancing or not. Social distancing is also irrelevant to a charge of resisting arrest.
It also remains that she faces criminal penalties.
Said Doug Ute, the Director, Ohio High School Athletic Association, "If you have a health condition and you want to watch your child play, then you need to communicate with the school ahead of time on what that condition is."
Also said Doug Ute, "If they don't follow the rules we could become a place to spread the virus through our events, and we don't want to do that because that would shut down our contests... shutdown our children's opportunity to compete in sports."
The school had the mandatory mask wearing imposed upon it by the Ohio High School Athletic Association as a prerequisite to permit fan attendance at athletic events. Only parents and close relatives of participants on the field are permitted to attend.
The mask requirement was publicly announced, and as required, there was signage at the event, and every person entering was reminded of the mask requirement, and the "lady" apparently had a mask with her.
It is analagous to entering WalMart openly carrying a handgun in a constitutional carry state. You get asked to leave and if you do not, you get arrested for criminal trespass and then you are removed, using such force as necessary to effect your removal. Then you are banned for life from entering any WalMart store nationwide. That you may have a right to keep and bear a handgun does not mean you can lawfully do so where it is not permitted.
Perhaps you enjoy getting arrested, being tased, going to jail and getting fined. Anyone enjoying these things that you appear to enjoy can listen to your bullshit. You may even make the ultimate act of defiance and go on a military base carrying a handgun and refusing to wear a mask. When you inform the military police of your legal rights, they are sure to be highly impressed.
Derek Skylar Steward filed a complaint against Officer Smith. The police were duly impressed.

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.

Fucking idiot.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen.
The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

Keep pushing asshole...you're on the wrong side of history.
Armed Citizens Confront Corona “Case” Seekers
According to the Pioneer Press, a team of state and federal health workers who were conducting random coronavirus testing in communities across Minnesota were met by armed residents uninterested in being tested.
There was no violence. But the residents made plain their feelings about being tested.

Oh the Irony...a masked moron telling others that they are "dangerous" while he threatens to spit on anyone without a mask.
You make Biden look like a genius by comparison.

When you wear your muslim training facial diaper (mask) can you smell a fart? Because if you can it's not working.
Tell me how a cloth mask stops a virus smaller than the gaps in the cloth or mask.
Why are more people who wear masks getting sick then those of us who think for ourselves and don't put of the stupid thing?
Your gods said masks were political theatre. Why is that?

Ohio woman arrested, tased for not wearing mask at middle school football game
She wasn't tased for not wearing a mask. She was tased for resisting.

She's free to not wear a mask. Just not there.

That is what they said. Which is why they tazed her. It is mostly idiots who wear masks. Are you like Gatlin the dunce wearing a mask in your car by yourself?

Gatlin wears a mask while "sequestering" in his basement - just like Biden.

I wear a mask, where required by my state, to protect other people.
Because I'm not a self-absorbed, selfish, antisocial, rebellious dickwad.
#29. To: A K A Stone (#18)
Tell me how a cloth mask stops a virus smaller than the gaps in the cloth or mask.
Because the virus never travels alone. 95% of the time it's attached to a liquid droplet larger than the gaps. Hence the name N95 mask which is designed to slow the spread of the virus.
You want 100%? Wear a hazmat suit. Or stay home.
#30. To: misterwhite (#28)
Because I'm not a self-absorbed, selfish
But you ARE selfish.
For months I've listened as masktards call me selfish for not wearing a mask.
But what could be more selfish that requiring me to harmfully restrict my breathing so that YOU "feel" safe?
Furthermore, the masktards are shutting down society, preventing people from feeding their families and providing services to the community.
What could be more selfish than that?
I wear a mask, where required by my state, to protect other people.
And I don't need or want you to protect me.
Stop being so selfish, misterwhite...
#31. To: A K A Stone (#5)

You are socially irresponsible. Strange that you have a chit-chat channel to broadcast your reprehensible bullshit.
#32. To: watchman (#30)

That's a misapplication of the word. Selfish is "of a person".
When society requires a mask it is not acting "selfishly". It's acting to protect the majority from the idiocy of individuals who cannot cite one good reason for not going along.
#33. To: misterwhite (#32)
Selfish is "of a person".For men shall be lovers of their own selves
What does God say? Society will become a collective of selfish persons. For men...plural. That's where we are now.
cannot cite one good reason for not going along
Are you saying we should all just "go along", follow the crowd, lose our individuality? For that is exactly what the mask does to a person.
We were a nation of free thinkers, which gave birth the the modern world. Now we are ripe for a petite dictator to control every aspect of our lives. Is that what you want? Surely you do not want that kind of life for your posterity.
#34. To: buckeroo (#31)
Shut up pussy.
#35. To: watchman (#33)
What does God say?
Philippians 2:4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
1 Corinthians 10:24 Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.
#36. To: watchman (#33)
Are you saying we should all just "go along", follow the crowd, lose our individuality?
As a member of society you've already done that.
You want individuality? Pack your things and build a cabin above the tree line.
#37. To: misterwhite (#36)
Pack your things and build a cabin above the tree line.
That's kind of what I've already done. But it doesn't matter.
Godless commie control freaks will hunt me down just to enforce their godlessness (ie. masks).
#38. To: misterwhite (#35)
Well just look at you preaching, misterwhite.
Here are some verses you overlooked...
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.Christians should have nothing to do with masks. The entire Covid pandemic is a lie, the fruitless deeds of darkness.
Will you come out of that darkness and walk in the Light? Time is running out.
#39. To: Deckard (#0)
Not even a crowded situation. One way for those present, few in number as it seemed to be, to semi-passively get involved is to remove their own mask. Obviously runs the risk of whatever legal consequences, but it would make a statement and force the police to decide whether they want to do more arrests in that situation.
Another option is to put on an extremely poor quality mask. Ordinances probably don't stipulate what quality a mask must have. I saw a pic of a knit mask that had 1/4 inch spacing between the stitches. Saw a vid of a guy wearing a Lone Ranger mask at a store claiming to the people there it complies with their stated "face covering" requirement.
But it's hard to watch that video without being outraged at the cop, regardless of what the law actually says.

Fine. But that won't change public perception of the incident. Nor will people be sympathetic to the idea that a school can force people to depart a football game for not wearing a mask on the theory that the person is then "trespassing".
I don't doubt that you agree with the notion that the founders signing of the Declaration of Independence was criminal act, and every militant action against the England's military forces was sedition and illegal. But sometimes, morality takes precedence over the stated law, and what became of that act of treason is the very set of US laws you admit are now binding in the USA.
There is, quite often, a higher moral calling than simply abiding by the letter of the law.

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.
He could also be a carrier of the ordinary flu, small pox, bubonic plague, anthrax and any number of other viral pathogens. Why limit the concern to only covid?
At what point do we hold people responsible for things they MIGHT be infected with, and how do we decided what precautions they should take to prevent them from infecting others of things they MIGHT have?

That's a fair question.
He claims to be an independent contractor (home repairs, etc.) in Ohio; this means he has a RESPONSIBILITY to the public, particularly knowing that all of us are dealing with a pandemic that has claimed over 200,000 (USA) lives so far. Wearing a face mask is a method of prevention for spreading the COVID-19 disease to others; in fact, that face mask could be a method of spreading the other diseases you mentioned, as well.
