I sincerely hope the posts here are ironic. This looks to be an example of excessive use of police force but it's being celebrated by red avatars (and probably only rejected by blue avatars) because it's in support of a Democratic political cause. In all likelihood, this woman didn't need to be tazed to be restrained and that could plausibly carry health risks greater than her not wearing a mask.
If the abandonment of excessive state-sanctioned violence is ever going to be realised across the political spectrum, it is going to have to start on the liberal side.
Well said.
Police need to be trained in use of force at levels
between "verbally demanding compliance" and "potentially lethal electrocution".
