I know of a case, BTW, where a sheriff's deputy stopped to copulate with a woman prisoner during a transport. He admitted it, and it was in the news. He kept his job, because the judicial found nothing wrong with the act.
"Tremata Anthony said she strapped Perdue in the chair"
Oh Damn! I needed that today!!!
........:o)
And if YOU could read, you'd note that
"Anthony wrote in the report that Perdue's paper gown was taken away and her hair was cut because she tried to strangle herself with the gown and with her braids."
The woman was using her CLOTHING to strangle herself. Could you please explain to me how she would manage that while it was still on her body? I hope you're not gonna tell me she could have choked herself by buttoning it a tad too tight around the collar.
I can see that you are with the establishment. Good bye.
You think nobody has ever been fired because of a lie before? You are ready to believe a drug addict over the police? Why? had some bad experiences with the police have you?
It will be interesting. However, my view is that drug addicts lie almost all of the time. Police officers only lie some of the time. Most police officers are honest. Anyone who thinks otherwise has probably been in trouble with the law. That's my view anyway.
Absolutely wrong. I have on my desk four paper towels. I have twisted them as far as they can be twisted. I have pulled on them as hard as I can pull on them. I am no weakling. They will not break. It is possible. Now for a gown that has enough paper to cover the human body,I assure you there is enough paper to twist into a form that could be made into a makeshift noose. You don't have to hang yourself from the ceiling. You might tie it to the water faucet and strangle yourself sitting on the floor.
I believe the police over a drug addict who has been arrested numerous times.
Fire the bimbo guard, apologize to the pothead, run the shyster out of town .... case closed.
Agreed. Police departments are now basically just a revenue collection arm of the government. They live to seize money from speed traps and from drug busts. None of these operations actually make any of us any safer.
One of the main reasons that law enforcement is fascinated with the war on drugs is the revenue that comes in through seizures and the new toys the departments justify to fight it.
Wouldn't it be great if law enforcement actually starting focusing on crimes that impact everyday citizens like burglary, vandalism, car theft, rape and murder? Of course solving those crimes doesn't really bring money into the department and its hard to justify new toys for those crimes either.

Everything you said is 100% correct and I agree completely. There is simply no denying police departments are out of control - They continually look at revenues as their top priority (how can they get new cars, new toys, etc, etc).
I currently work down in NC and I live in a town without more than 5000 people total - Yet the number of police and police vehicles (be it from the town and County) is simply mind boggling - And they are actually asking the township now to fund a SWAT Unit!! - It is laughable if it wasn't such a waste -
And of course the monthly police "check-points" on local roads down here simply blow me away (I cannot understand how these hill-people have rolled over and accepted this from their local police czars!). (I'm talking middle of the day ...stop every car going down a major road check-points!).
ROFLMAO. I'm with the 'establishment?' You need to change that Freeper handle to YOUGOTIT-ALLWRONG. You're pushing the notion that some trial lawyer and a pothead get 50 mill for acting like a jackass in jail because the pothead says the cops made her nekkid in front of the other arrestees? Never mind that she was trying to kill HERSELF, or that SHE is the one who took the gown off her body to use in the process.
I'm agin the establishment in that I want that system--you know, the one in which people make 50 mill acting stupid so their lawyers can make a buck--brought down.
And the Atlanta PD is generally a bunch of idiot hoodlums, but they have nothing on the average Atlanta criminal. I'm all for the cops in Atlanta being prevented from arrests for consensual crimes. But I'm not about to say that a woman that repeatedly tries to KILL HERSELF--because for some odd reason she thought her cousin deserved to be busted too, good reason for suicide!?!?--deserves to be believed over the cops in this case. She sounds loopier than a loon. I'm eager to fire the idiot cop in charge, and anyone who let her sit naked in front of a bunch of men, but I'm not real up on sending cops to jail because their prisoner acts toadlicking moonbat crazy. And I sure ain't up on handing out Atlanta tax dollars to raving goofballs.
I can agree with this - (this Women isn't owed any where near the millions she is suing for ) - I say fire the cops in charge (if it is shown they let her sit there like that) and cut this women a reasonable check if it turns out true that either they kept her sitting there naked or went along with her sitting there naked - (though take the funds out of the police budget and make them do with less).
It'd be different if it were HIS daughter, now wouldn't it?
I gotta say that while I agree the police aren't worth the money we spend on them (better to just issue guns to the populace, in my opinion, and allow concealed carry) we do spend that money on them to police. Taking it out of the BUDGET isn't right. Taking it out of their pockets is. Firing them or letting them get sued personally is 100% appropriate.
