The video is at the link. Not surprisingly these are Sheriff Joe's tools evicting a mother of a son deployed in a war zone with a tazer.
"Ms. Washington refused to leave the house," said MCSO Deputy Chief Paul Chagolla. He said it was up to the two female deputies seen here to get Washington out of the home. The other deputies inside were looking for anyone else who might be in the home, like Washington's son. And the deputies outside were securing the perimeter.
"They did deploy a Taser, it did not have an effect as you saw in the video," Chagolla said. He said the deputy used a drive-stun technique, which gives out an electric current. Chagolla said one five-second current was given first, followed by subsequent currents.
"Seven to eight one-second attempts to apply a touch stun to Ms. Washington," Chagolla said. While he added removing people from their homes can be very dangerous, this is not typical. In this circumstance, they stand by the Taser's deployment.
She was tazed because they had awoken her and she wanted time to get dressed. Also the foreclosure is on appeal so the foreclosure itself is questionably legal.
