The prisoner lunged at Clarence instead, jabbing him in the stomach. As Clarence doubled over the man grabbed his hair with his left hand and plunged the bloody pencil into Clarence’s face with a right uppercut. Charlie had his hands on the attacker by then and yanked him back. Chaos followed as DuPree and Nancy both jumped in to pin the man. Charlie already had him facedown on his knees, but the assailant fought back, punching and kicking, cursing in Spanish. Clarence’s guard tried to protect his injured prisoner, who was thrashing on the floor, hands over his bloody face as he screamed. “Down on the floor,” the black guard yelled at the other inmate, who’d already dropped back and was holding his hands up to show he wasn’t part of this. “Taser this guy,” DuPree shouted, still struggling with the Hispanic prisoner. The black guard unholstered his yellow Taser and aimed it at the attacker, who continued to yell and struggle despite the fact that Nancy had his right arm wrenched around at an impossible angle.
