Here in the county I live at a middle aged woman was driving home on a back road when she noticed someone stuck in the ditch. She dropped off her 9 yo granddaughter at her house, called the sheriff, and went back to pull the person out of the ditch.
After the person's vehicle was clear, she was having trouble with getting her truck out of 4 wheel drive. This is when the sheriff showed up. He walked over being all gruff and told her to get out of the car. At this point he put his arm in through her window like he was going to take the keys out of her ignition.
The startled woman lightly pushed his hand away from her body even though he wasn't reaching to touch her.
He then ordered her to get out of the vehicle. She gets out and standing on the running board on the side of the truck raises her hands. The sheriff then tazers her. She yanks the tazer barbs out of her stomach where they had impaled her.
So he does it again. And keeps the juice going until she falls from the running board onto her face in convulsions.
The sheriff then arrests her for resisting arrest and assault of a police officer.
This happened less than a month ago right here in my county.
And it wasn't in any of the local news. Not a one. I only know because I work with one of her friends.
Fucking cops.

Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
