Fear Furthering

A mob of about twenty people come tearing around the corner of a side street, headed your direction.  The rifle roof observer's eyes move to follow the mob.  Stretching forward, you grab Anna by the suspenders and pull her off the sidewalk and out of the way.  The crowd stampedes by, looking frightened but driven.
A bullhorn erupts from one of the roofs.  “Fellow citizens.  We have received word that the storm will be passing through in about four hours.  Please slow down and remain calm.”
Most of the group slow down to gawk but one woman breaks away from the rest and sprints over towards the police.  Anna has already started walking again so crane your neck to see an officer shouting and waving at her to stop.  There are a few more warnings and then he draws a weapon and fires at her.  She falls to the ground, screaming and shaking.
“Whoa.  Did you see that woman get tazed?  Why did that cop taze her?  She was just scared."
