Being a white woman is a type of diplomatic immunity. If this was a Black woman she'd be a hashtag.
Police say a Florida woman refused orders to drop a piece of concrete before two attempts to Taser her missed and she threw the object at an officer, hitting him in the shoulder.
The woman was then tackled, pepper-sprayed and now faces several charges.
