According to CNN’s reporting on the lawsuit, Dillon was arrested in June 2025 on a warrant stemming from a dispute with former neighbors who had already moved away and never pursued the case. Officers placed her in handcuffs on her front steps next to her 17-year-old son while cameras rolled.

Dillon, who had recently undergone shoulder replacement surgery, pleaded with deputies to handcuff her with her arms in front. They did not adjust the cuffs for approximately five minutes, and she remained restrained in the back of a patrol car in severe pain for over four hours. The charge was later dropped entirely.

 

Controversial German-Canadian billionaire Tobias "Tobi" Lütke is under fire once again for online comments suggesting that people who don't earn an income should not be eligible to vote in elections, and that high earners should have more electoral power than middle- and low-income voters.

The Ottawa-based founder and CEO of Shopify, one of the biggest companies in the country, commented on a post shared on X calling for a "weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay," saying it is a "good system."

It's interesting how there are more dead protesters than police forces.

Be careful with a stungun. It requires close range confrontation, and It's not effective if the assailant is drugged up or heavily drunk and ignores the shocks.

Mace gives good distance, and pepper in the eyes doesn't care about the stimulants in your blood stream.

Also practice with it. A large number of people carry self defense tools and choke under pressure/fail to use it correctly during situations.
