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!”

Resisting what? Wearing a mask.
She's free to not wear a mask. Just not there.

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.
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.

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)
I'm in Ohio and I NEVER ever wear a mask anywhere. No one says shit.
You are socially irresponsible. Strange that you have a chit-chat channel to broadcast your reprehensible bullshit.
#32. To: watchman (#30)
But what could be more selfish that requiring me to harmfully restrict my breathing so that YOU "feel" safe?That's a misapplication of the4 word
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.
#40. To: nolu chan (#6)
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.
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.
#41. To: buckeroo (#7)
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.

33 states have laws regarding the criminalization of HIV transmission.
Let's do that for COVID.

Lets beat up mask wearing freaks who are crying for unconstitutional laws to be implemented on peaceful citizens. With baseball bats.

How do you maintain your Ohio professional contractor's license when you do not observe Ohio state requirements for professional services observing health and safety requirements? Are you exempt from spreading a major disease because you own an Internet chit-chat channel?
In the past, you have claimed to be an independent contractor for home repairs in Ohio. If you are lucky enough to win someones confidence in your capabilities, it is because you are relying on being a liar, a thief or a charlatan. I imagine you may be called by a little ol' lady for your help to clean her septic tank and you give a low cost bid. You may be spreading the pandemic because of your IRRESPONSIBLE actions. Suck your cesspools, pal... until your eyes are glazed over.

A year ago, the only people wearing masks were those who wanted to hide their identities, you know, like criminals.
Now those who DON'T wear masks are the criminals.
Why We Should Question the Narrative on Masks (American Conservative)
Mask wearing is just another form of "virtue signaling" for the left.
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.
#51. To: buckeroo (#49)

I found this while looking for Ohio mask exemptions regarding the football game...
the new statewide order does not rescind prior orders...requires all businesses across the state to require employees to wear facial coverings, except when the use of facial coverings:
#6. Is not functional or practical to be worn by an employee in the workplace – i.e., safety, breathing conditions, increased risk of heat stress, etc.There are exemptions to the mask mandate in Ohio, especially regarding physical activity.

There is not law in Ohio that requires face masks. If i am mistaken show me the law. You can't because it doesn't exist.
If the government told you to wipe shit on your face you would comply.

I, Lance D. Himes, Interim Director of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), pursuant to the authority granted to me in R.C. 3701.13 to "make special orders...for preventing the spread of contagious or infectious diseases" Order the following to prevent the spread of COVID-19 into the State of Ohio:
1. Preamble: As the spread of COVID-19 accelerates in Ohio, the Department of Health supplemented existing statewide Orders with a system of further guidance to protect Ohioans. The majority of the residents of this State now live in a county that has triggered four or more of the key indicators in the Ohio Public Health Advisory System. This reveals that the State of Ohio is experiencing a very high exposure and spread of COVID-19. Immediate action is necessary to mitigate the danger that this presents to the residents of this State. Therefore, to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Ohio, I Order all residents of the State of Ohio to wear facial coverings (masks) when out in public in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 3 of this order.
2. Facial Coverings (Masks). Except as provided herein, all individuals, in the State of Ohio shall wear facial coverings at all times ...

If the state wants you to place a mark on your hand in order to buy and sell...will you do it?
