From the story it seems the cops were way over the line on this one. Sounds like they were pissed they couldn’t make some other case and went after her in this fashion.
Maybe
Newsome was at work at the base at the time and refused to immediately come home and assist the officers in finding her partner, whom she married in Iowa - where gay marriage is legal - in October.I suspect her response to the cops trying to find her "wife" pissed them off sufficiently that they decided to go out of their way to screw her.
Why were the cops in her home?
