Finally this story is getting some legs -- front page of today's ABQ Journal. Previously it was only on KOB-TV's investigation page, but it did have some limited coverage - one US News and World Report article reported an attorney saying "Hispanic officers may have targeted 'white boy' because they 'don't like him living in their community'."

Two FR articles have been posted with links to the KOB-TV investigation:

And they made him pick up the medical bills.

That is going to REALLY piss-off the civil trial jury.

[Vaquero]

did they at least buy the guy a lobster dinner, first??

this is like an Abner Louima story only with rubber gloves and lube(I think lube?), sans plunger.

sounds like a side story on Breaking Bad.

Un f—— believable

If they can do this, nobody is safe.

From the follow-up Channel 4 story:

The drug dog (named LEO) wasn’t certified for drug detection and the doctors at Gila Regional Medical Center who performed the procedures may lose their licenses to practice medicine.

one US News and World Report article reported an attorney saying “Hispanic officers may have targeted ‘white boy’ because they ‘don’t like him living in their community’.”

Whether this is “the reason” or not - I don’t know. But I suspected from the beginning there was something else driving this beyond reason. Perhaps it was personal, I think there is a backstory here that lead up to this.

Now, under Obamacare, 50 year old men can purposefully drive past a speed trap with no seat belt. Step out of the car garbbing buttocks, and get a free colonoscopy.

Umm... No. More like 4 or five. With more to come - I can gurarantee you.

The latest thread (besides this one) was just posted a few minutes ago.

Here's another thread on the topic in addition to the two you linked..

‘YOU COULD NEVER ANTICIPATE THIS HAPPENING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’

Shout out to the ABQ authorities - I have solid evidence that Barack 0bama, Bill Clinton, Terry McAuliffe, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and especially Chuck Schumer are all hiding drugs in their body cavities. You need to check them all thoroughly as soon as you can. This is urgent. Repeat, urgent.

GGIH (Good God In Heaven). This is so totally outrageous that I don't have language sufficient to describe it. I hope the good people of Hidalgo County enjoy their new owner, because this is grounds for megamillion damages from the police agencies involved, the political entities that the police agencies worked for, and the hospital and the medical personnel involved.

The fact that the hospital personnel actually went along with this says that there are some very serious defects in their policies and training of both nurses, technicians and doctors. Any physician who took part should lose his/her license to practice medicine.

The brownshirt nanny state our drug warriors have longed for.

1. Collect a few million from the authorities.
2. Send the stasi cops back to Gutterville, MX

And to think I just paid a grand for a colonoscopy and all I needed to do was speed in New Mexico and scratch my butt.................

[pallis]

No criminal charges against the thug cops and evil doctors have been filed yet. This is a case begging to go before a jury in a criminal trial.

And this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to victims in Deming.

I have read a few different accounts of this story, and for the life of me, I do Not understand why every last person involved is NOT IN PRISON FOR FELONY KIDNAPPING AND FELONY RAPE and Facing the DEATH PENALTY.

[Gritty]

Are the Mexican drug cartels now in charge down there? This sounds like something they would do to intimidate people.

[lonevoice]

I heard Rush talking about this today. It’s unbelievable! There isn’t room for enough zeros at the end of the check Albuquerque should have to pay to this guy.

[CodeToad]

How many cops will denounce this or just ignore it while hiding behind the Thin Blue Line?

This is the type of crap as to why people no longer trust the cops. I personally want the outlaws outlawed. We have little use for these abusive report writers.
