Keep that up and you'll get a night stick dental extraction. That should cure your infection.
Prescription Tylenol--most likely Tylenol #3 (with codeine).
Too bad the cop didn’t lose some fingers.
US cops began morphing into jack-booted thugs starting about 15 years ago. Maybe it is from the TV shows...”Get on the ground. Get on the ground—NOW”.
The good old boy on the beat is history.
Juicy ‘excessive force’ lawsuit here.
Good thing there is a free press . . . in Britain.
“...While taking Ms. Householder into custody, Deputy Vaughan witnessed her attempt to ingest several pills, said the spokesperson. He restrained her for her safety and she was transported to a local hospital where she was treated and released.
The bruised woman says she showed up to the courthouse May 8 on her own and was unaware she was in any kind of custody, that she felt free to take pills.
Householder was treated for a bloody mouth and handed summonses for resisting arrest and obstructing official business.
An internal affairs investigation remains ongoing, authorities said....No drug charges were filed.”

Jeez, this whole story is so filled with lies from the cops, I don’t know where to begin.
The woman had come in on her own but the lying “spokesperson” said he saw her “ingest several pills” while he was taking her into custody. The video clearly shows she was simply sitting their placidly and the valiant Deputy Vaughan came from off-view and immediately attacked her.
She was “handed summonses for resisting arrest and obstructing official business”. Thank God for video—cops can no longer get away with their lies.
The local government is probably thinking that they’ll have to settle with her—if a suit went to a civil trial with a jury, they’d have to worry that they would have some jurors like me (not automatically believing “authorities” and very persuasive with other jurors). They’d be paying much more than the amount their insurance would cover.
Now there is a law against taking doctor prescribed medicine? I would hope every one of those abusive and useless cops are now fired. Completely out of control. I think she should get a few million out of a lawsuit for that abuse.
“Tylenol tablet... the prescription medication “
Something’s missing here. Tylenol 3 instead of Tylenol, perhaps?
The sheriff’s deputy could have just summarily executed the woman and then went home safely knowing the other officers would cover for him by lying about what happened. More’s the pity there wasn’t a dog to shoot or small child to Taser. Nothing to see here, move on.
I saw the video and I didn’t see anything malicious on part of the deputy. He witnessed her consuming a pill and didn’t know what that pill was. He didn’t beat her or throw her around or anything else that bad cops do.
The alternative possibility for him, not knowing why the woman consumed a pill was a possible OD.
In this case, I can support the deputy.
The irony is lost on this bunch...
He restrained her for her safety...
That's the equivalent of my older bother telling me to stop hitting myself.
Apparently there IS a time for drawing and quartering, and I’m not referring to people medicating toothaches.
