A note in the comments section - "CEQ 10:51 PM on January 30, 2012 eye-witness account reported to Montara Dog: "Yesterday my husband and I walked our two border collies on the cement trail of Ranch Corral de Tierra...we encountered a man in his late forties with his two little dogs...being cited by a park ranger for not having them on a leash. Since we had never seen a park ranger during our 7 years of walking our dogs there, we asked her why she was patrolling the area. She quickly responded that the area was now under GGNRA control. The man she was citing had already leashed his dogs and provided her all his personal information. He asked her if he could go home and she said No. He then asked her to provide him a ticket or tell him why he couldn't leave. The park ranger was very rude and told him he could not leave un! til she heard by from her base but didn't tell him what she needed to hear from them or why he was being detained. After ten minutes the man asked her again to let him know why he could not leave or just cite him but she gave him no answer. My husband even asked her why she was not letting the man go on his way and she told him to stay out of it. Eventually, the man just started walking in our direction so he could go home. This really upset the park ranger and she told him to stop and that he could not leave. Once again the man asked why and just told her to give him a ticket or let him know if he was being arrested. Note that he had already leashed his two small dogs and was puzzled at the fact that he could not leave. Since she did not respond as to why he was being detained nor tell him the type of jurisdiction she had over him, he started to walk away and she told him that she would tase him if he walked another step. The man replied that he had a heart condition and to not taser him as it could be life threatenin! g. He gave her his back to look at me and my husband in disbelief to what was going on and the park ranger fired her taser at him. The poor man fell to floor and you could see that he was in a lot a pain. An elderly man was walking right by the man when he got tasered and luckily the passerby was not hurt. It was completely incredulous to see what was going on over two small dogs that were not leashed. About ten minutes later the sheriff came and hand cuffed the man. He asked us to take his dogs home and tell his wife what just happened. We heard ambulances on their way and believe that instead of going to jail (for doing nothing) was taken to a local hospital.""

Women thug cops often use any excuse to use their weapons. They know they can use them more often because they are generally smaller and weaker and therefore have built-in excuses to use them where a male officer couldn’t.
Plus many badged thugs, both male and female, are just looking for any reason nowaday to test out their weapons on the public.
I caveat my remarks by adding the descriptor “thug” in them. Not all cops are thugs. I am discussing the ones that are.

Give an insignificant little worm some authority and it goes Gestapo on you. Too many (not all) law enforcement types have an unhealthy lust for power.

Why any American still thinks that they live under a limited government of laws, not men, is beyond me. That there is even a debate about the arbitrary tasering of non-compliant ccitizens is chilling.
American-style Socialism is metastasizing under the Obama regime - and no viable Republican alternative seems ready to combat that. At every level of government, violent over-reaction to perceived disrespect has become endemic.
There is no particular reason to be optimistic about the immediate future.

Our beloved police state. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a cop. Now I stay far away and I’m a boy scout citizen. I hear too many stories of power hungry a-holes looking to play Gestapo. IMO, it’s females that are the worst too.

Law enforcement is out of control. They hire crazy nuts like this #@%&#%, saw down the doors of the wrong people and throw their wives and kids to the floor under their guns

blow away dogs defending their own property from trespassing cops with no warrent, then close ranks behind the maniacs who do this.
