    Old lady who does not speak English is out cutting dandelion greens for a salad. She does not respond to orders, her scissors are a threat to the officers, and so they tase her down.

    I'll defend a lot of police actions that others find objectionable, but not tasing an old lady who is only a threat to the local vegetation. There had to be a better way to resolve this. Probably a hundred ways.

    That sheriff might have to go. I hope he can survive.

    Bice: Acting Sheriff Schmidt could take a lump-sum, backdrop payment of more than $810,000

    Along with the lump-sum check, Schmidt could have gotten a regular monthly pension of nearly $73,000 a year, according to the county estimate. He has worked for the Sheriff's Office for 32 years.

    His actual retirement benefits should be even higher now that Schmidt is aiming to put in another 20 months on the job since those estimates were issued.

    He's going to need a gofundme for sure.
