    estimate 130 pound woman

    estimate 300 pound cop

    she was sitting next to family or friends and everyone else was spaced apart

    She got introduced to the taser too

    Sadly, nobody in the stands intervened. They simply sat by as a young woman gets wrestled with due to not masking up. Is this what maskanistas want the police to be doing? Is this what you support? Seattle and Portland burn but we arrest women for being outdoors, unmasked

    vote Democrat if you support this abuse by govt

    That's outrageous. I don't see this as a political issue. It's just being beyond stupid.

    With so many complacent by standers, it seems we have the government we deserve. Liberty dies to thunderous applause.

    She deserved to be charged with resisting as well.

    By your cruel standards, yes.

    By reasonable standards, no.

    The cop should be charged with disturbing the peace and assault.

    While I completely 100% disagree with the reason for the arrest, I would not ever, ever, condone resisting the arrest. Anything that happens to her during resisting is on her. Can't flip flop on that message just because I don't agree with the why.

    I would have simply respected the rules and either put a mask on or went with the guy peacefully. I can always sue the pants off them later, which I would do, unless there was a specific rule that masks had to be worn there, even in the bleachers. This we don't know. We also don't know what may have happened before, did they request her to mask up and she refused? Granted I disagree with wearing a mask outdoors, but, if that were the rules of the establishment, then they have a right to take action. Ugh, I sound like a lawyer... LOL

    If you think you can sue cops for malfeasance, you have never studied the matter, the legal sophistry, called Qualified Immunity, created out of thin air by SCOTUS in 1950 or so.

    Cops cannot be sued.

    Screaming you are not going to arrest me while wrestling away from the cop is resisting arrest plain and simple.

    Before the cop showed up, it was a peaceful afternoon watching high school athletes play.

    Everything was fine until the cop showed up and began disturbing the peace. This is a fantastic display of just why so many people despise the police. It's why I no longer contribute to police fraternal organizations.

    He assaulted the woman for no good reason. He demonstrated police brutality.

    And you defend it. :please:

    You're right, I have not studied that, I prefer to enjoy my life LOL (also my career is nowhere near the legal field). Out of curiosity, what about The township that employs them? The City? The owner of the venue? Regardless, I would not resist arrest, even when I feel I am being wronged. I have been consistent with that message when people complain about cop killings, etc. I cannot reverse that now just because it could easily have been me out there.

    He arrested the woman for breaking the law. Since there was what appeared to be a staff member present, I assume they wanted her removed, she went all Karen on them, and the police officer did his job. She could have obeyed the law or suffered the consequences. She decided to do the latter. I have no pity for her. At the point you are being arrested, you get arrested and you contest it in court, not by throwing a bitch fit in the bleachers in front of a bunch of kids.

    As we've just seen in Louisville, the city or town CAN be sued.

    Which is better than nothing. But if every cop knows he will not be personally held liable for his transgressions, nothing will change.

    A law that is a sophistry. A law that has no legal foundation at all.

    This is not the Bubonic Plague, and no government has legal authority to tell the citizen what he must wear on his body.

    The other woman with them was arrested as well. The mother just didn't throw an arrest-resisting tantrum for youtube viewers. Masks were required. They had masks on them. They used the masks to get in and then removed them. They were specifically asked by the school official to put the masks back on. They refused. That was when the police were directed to intervene. https://www.mariettatimes.com/news/2020/09/woman-tased-arrested-after-refusing-to-wear-mask-at-game/

    The government has both the power to order it and the means to enforce it, as demonstrated in the video.

    exactly what law did she break? He walked up to her and immediately began to try and place her into custody; what law was she breaking

    FYI- masking up is not a law

    I don't know the whole of it. But the optics look bad. Like you said, she was sitting peaceably with her family, spaced far from others. Then again, all she had to do was put a mask on and not be so immediately confrontational. The thing is, once you allow one to get away with it, you have to allow all. And then of course the door is open for the spreading of the virus.

    That too bothered me. Here was a mom sitting there, minding her own business, outside. I'm sure that other folks in the stands knew her yet they did not stand in unity. How wonderful it is that the only crime in that town is masking up. The use of 2 police to arrest the woman for the high crime of being unmasked outside, shows that there is no other crime in that town. Same on the onlookers who did not stand with her

    she was harming nobody

    all that she had to do was point out the Jews
    all that she had to do was point out the gun owner
    all that she had to do was point out the Christian

    our liberties do not get taken at once, we yield them in drips until they are gone

    vote Democrat if you like what you see in the video

    keep in mind: the human body will become immune to covid much like with other viruses. Once you yield your liberties, they will not return

    Unless you are one of the 200,000 who died ... immunity through death.
    Mask requirements are no different than forcing people to wear clothes in public.

    I reworded my post after review of the incident. I think the Officer did the right thing because the entire purpose of allowing the game was that people wear masks and distance. This was agreed upon beforehand.

    Naw. The rules were established beforehand, masks and distancing. She tried to skirt the rule by wearing a mask to get in and then removed the mask. The Officer did what he had to do because if one gets away with it, then others will follow and safety compromised. If you don't want to wear a mask to a game where masks are required, then don't go. She only has herself to blame. It may seem like much ado about a small matter. But the School has an obligation and a right, both ethically and legally, to make rules that ensure everyone's safety. This was a labor to that end, and there is nothing wicked or tyrannical about it.

    I've no clue how they were doing that unless you subscribe to masking up while outdoors provides some form of force field

    I watched it from the beginning on full screne. At first he is talking to her presumably asking her to wear a mask. If it is the law there to wear a mask then she has to do it and I cannot see him arresting him if it were not. Then the fight that ensues and the other people joining in. This was so unnecessary. The woman should have agreed to wear the mask when presumably she was asked at the beginning or not gone somewhere where she had to wear a mask and frankly I suspect that if she had been black and he had been white, based on what I have seen of other things, she would be dead.
