From the page:
According to the lawsuit: Varner’s grandson had called 911 to request emergency medical technicians to stop by to help her with medication. He had stopped by to check on her in advance of an approaching winter storm, the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit alleges that instead of EMTs, 10 police officers came to the apartment and “pushed their way through the door.” It also alleges that from her hospital-style bed and connected to an oxygen machine, she told them to leave.

At that point, the officer instructed another policeman to “Taser her!” according to the court brief. Police contended in their official report that Varner had taken a “more aggressive posture in her bed.”
