The only ones scummier than the cops, is the TV station that “reported” this story. This is incredibly one-sided. The reporter never mentions the husband wasn’t at home when this happened. He didn’t see any of it- at the home or at the police station. Everything he’s saying is second hand information. The reporter makes a point of telling us the sheriff refuses to talk on camera, but never tells us why the alleged victim won’t speak on camera. The reporter makes a big deal about the dashcam not being on. I thought that was for traffic stops where all the action is taking place in front of the cop car. I mean, what’s the purpose of turning on the dashcam if the cops are going inside the house? The newsman also “reports” the husband’s story as fact. I believe there’s only one time in the whole report where he uses the term “they say”. Also, it isn’t until the end of the story the reporter quickly mentions the alleged victim “leaned up against the officer” and gave the cops her sister’s driver’s license. Another odd thing, instead of calling 911 after she was assaulted, the alleged victim had someone else do it. Come on. A bunch of low life white trash were partying, a fight broke out and somebody called the cops (I’d love to hear the 911 tape to see if the caller actually reported this woman was assaulted) Cops arrive and this drunken woman starts screaming in their faces. The cops tell her to shut up. She won’t. Then she “leans” on a deputy and they take her in. If they want to go after the cops for what they did, fine. But they better let us know what scumbags the “victim” and her family are, as well.
From the video and story you figured out the victims are scum bags and were having a party? I didn’t see that anywhere.
That may well have happened but it doesn’t matter. The fact is they stripped her (male and female officers) and left her naked in a cell for 6 hours. That is unexcuseable.
And where do you get off assuming that the victims are scum bags and partiers and since when did it become illegal to be drunk in one’s own home?
“...they better let us know what scumbags the “victim” and her family are.”
Unbelievable. There is absolutely NOTHING that a woman could be arrested for that would excuse this behavior! This is exactly what it looks like: sick cops getting their jollies by stripping and groping a pretty woman!!!
Ok, it starts...
I don’t care if the lady was drunk, dumb as a box of rocks, stoned, only in our world of 2009 is that a reason to strip a lady naked, and leave her in a cell that way for six hours. Only in America. “You People” want an aggressive, plentiful and empowered police force so that’s what we get. Folks love that until the guns are turned on them or their family.
If she only had been properly deferential to the LEOs and told them how great and wonderful they were and how thankful she was for them and how they risked their life every day for her and blah, blah, blah, then none of his would have happened, right Krankor?
And as for the white trash comment, by the grace of God, Krankor, only by the grace of God....
What an arrogant cuss you must be.
Just viewing the video we can see plainly that the department acted illegally.
(Sidebar: Can you imagine the uproar if it was a MUSLIM woman subjected to this type of search and being stripped naked in front of males. Wow. But because she is not muslim no sensitivity is necessary. We can know that if she was a muslim woman the department would have handled that strip and search differently. Are non-muslim women not allowed the same level of modesty?)
As a former police officer (many years ago) I usually side with the police, giving the benefit of doubt to them. Not in this case. Going by the video alone, the police have much to answer for.
In your world, only the "right" people have any rights, eh?
I can’t believe you’re actually defending these sick f__ks.
I guess you guys really stick together, eh. No matter what the circumstances. NO matter how f__ked up that overfed sheriff and his herd of cattle are.
Amazing.
The payout for locking up a crazy drunk naked is a hell of a lot less than the payout for someone who actually kills themself while in custody.
I can guarantee that if you get batshit crazy drunk, get violent and make threats of self harm you will end up naked in a cell till you sober up.
People blame the cops but the real blame lies with the Trial Lawyers Association and the belief that nobody is responsible for their behavior because it’s the government’s job to protect everyone, which means Ta Dah! they have to control everyone. TAANSTAAFL
I'm with you. The victim was charged with crimes. Does she think the 5th amendment applies to her. Hell, she should just up and confess to Oprah.
The only person I know for sure is a “scumbag” is you. That is because you assume the victim is a scumbag without any evidence. Hence, you are scumbag.
You have gotten some bad information sir. Besides, even if the lady IS white trash, had someone else call 911, or did all of the things YOU are alleging, she DID not, absolutely, DID not deserve the treatment she received. I don’t care if that lady said “FU” or what. Once handcuffed, she should have been properly searched or whatever these oversized egos call it. Plain and simple. Wrong is wrong.
There are plenty of scumbags on police forces - plenty.
