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.

Seems reasonable...
What specific law was broken?
Not one bystander stood up for her, but I’m glad this video is getting out there.
Sounds like trespassing.
“cop should be fired, but nothing will happen for reasons that should be obvious”
A good lawyer should be able to help that effort along.
She got teased for resisting arrest, that said, this cop stinks on ice.
She should have worn BLM shirt, burned down the school and it would have been a peaceful protest, no problems.

Need I look?
I say this, but I do support the right not to wear a mask when outside. But I get a definite mental image of a woman who can’t be cuffed in less than five seconds. Much less 2 minutes.
he wasn’t tasered for not wearing a mask.
She was tasered for resisting arrest.
She was tasered for failing to submit to the Crown, who enacted the mask law by royal fiat, rather than the legislative process that is the cornerstone of democracy.
These “rules” are bullshit.
I hope she sues and wins.
This also speaks to how everything - EVERYTHING - the government requires you to do, they do at the barrel of a gun.
Invoke the Fauci Rule.
Yes, you should look.
That is one hell of a taser. Did one of the prongs get stuck in the metal bleachers?
I don't know whether there was a sign at the entrance requiring masks, but if she was there and refused to either wear the mask or leave she would probably be hit with a trespassing offence (similar to carrying a gun into most locations with a "no guns" signs on the door).
Masks are stupid.
Resisting coppers is even stupider.
She was tasered for resisting arrest.
Arrested for what criminal violation. I am not familiar with the laws in Ohio so I would need to look at the criminal statutes first but it seems like she could be escorted out for not following the regulations at that property. So, arrested for what beyond not following officers direction perhaps assuming he was lawfully following statute.
And this is why Mike DeWine was booed yesterday at Trump’s rally.
For some reason, I am reminded of the scene from the Indiana Jones movie where he, dressed as a crewman on a Zeppelin, throws a Nazi SS officer out the window, while the passengers stare in stunned silence. He turns around and sees them staring, and says, in German, “He had no ticket!”, whereupon ALL the passengers frantically look for their own tickets to present.........................
