If she would have had a service dog, they probably would have shot it.
This story, if accurate, and I have no reason to believe it
isn’t is beyond words. What can one say in regards to this level of abuse that would be cogent or meaningful.
The only appropriate response I can think of involves rope and a tree. We as citizens can no longer allow these thugs
to continue to operate with impunity. The system has been
corrupted and perverted to where these monsters never need
fear being held accountable by the courts. Therefore it’s time they were called to task and punished outside of the
courts.
It’s NOT a complex story. It’s simple: police officer assault, tase and severely injure a deaf woman, then try to cover it up. Very simple.
Please let’s not be too hasty with adjudication of anything.
Look at the article and the woman, and then let’s ask ourselves why we’re just hearing about this now, a month later?
It would appear that she’s got multiple witnesses, and proof that an interpreter was not provided to her throughout her stay in jail. She needs to sue the PD, and the officers need to be fired for covering up their gross error in responding to this call. The taser shot is bad enough, but could possibly be understood as them thinking it may be necessary to protect themselves. The way in which she was handled after the fact that it became clear (within minutes) that she was the deaf victim and not the perpetrator is obscene.
Did they ever even bother to actually attempt catch the person who she called them to get? There is no mention of that... So, they took the victim to jail, and apparently the suspected assaulter got away???
Silver lining: she didn’t her it go off!
Few situations cannot be made worse via the addition of police. Reason number 867 why a gun is better than 911.
The true violation of the law, as seen by Super Trooper: “White ignored my commands.”
If this woman’s story is 1/4 accurate, this LEA is going to lose quite a bit of $$$ in a lawsuit...more if her story is 100% accurate...even more if the Civil Rights people campaign for her

Fast & Furious —> This
MAKES SENSE
Somebody needs to listen to their radio communications while they are responding.
It might not hurt if a grown man in a cop uniform and armed wasn’t so frightened of a woman running toward him he had to shoot her with a taser.
It does seem a little like the keystone cops in this area.
Just off the top of my head, I remember Seattle cops tasering a diabetic woman who had passed out at the wheel of her car while stopped at a stop sign.
Then there was the homeless, psychotic man who had climbed a tree in Bremerton. A cop was going for her taser to bring him down and instead, accidentally grabbed her .38 and shot him in the leg.
Apparently he didn’t have a dog.
Story says she ran at the cops with her arms waving. They though she was about to attack them.
Tacoma’s finest in action, proving their worth.
Sue them.
Who was fighting with her and choking her?
Why was this other person in the apartment?
How was she able to communicate through her special equipment (visual apparently) without interference from this other person?
Would not the other person be visible to the responding location if they were attacking and choking her?
Were any of her injuries possibly from this other person?
Did the police try to locate this other person?
Did the police take this other person into custody?
Did the police reports talk about this other person in any way, such as name, address, relationship, reason for being in the basement apartment?
How did she get up the single flight of stairs so easily without interference from this other person?
Unless I completely missed something, this story seems to be missing a huge amount of information concerning who, what, when, where and why this incident started and this other person just sort of vanishes without explanation?
I'll be interested in additional/followup information if it becomes available.
TWO PHYSICALLY FIT COPS HAD NO FRICKIN REASON TO TASER ONE WOMAN WITH HER EMPTY HANDS IN THE AIR, DEAF OR NOT.
NO EXCUSES. SEND A MESSAGE, PUNISH THE BASTARDS AND MAKE SURE THEY NEVER WORK AS POLICE AGAIN!
A criminal beating up a deaf woman? We can’t have THAT!
The criminal isn’t part of a *union*.
Now, a *union* conducted beating, *that’s* the quality of beating which should be meted out!
