“Very extreme point of view, but understandable.”

If someone doesn’t feel that way one of three things must be true...

1. You’re not married.
2. You don’t love your wife.
3. You’re a liberal.

It’s liberal thought that waters down convictions to the point we’re afraid to defend ourselves, our honor or our family.

I’d like to know where the rest of that footage is and WHY were so MANY officers, video camera in hand, walking her to a cell?
I'm betting the "strip search drill" call went out and there's probably other videos - may be the whole station needs to go down. ;-(

But my post was from a different prospective- shoddy journalism.

BS

You can't put the bullet back in the gun.

Here is what you stated:

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.

You clearly implied and suggested the victim and her family are, "Scumbags".

...you can't judge them!"

But a jury will anyway. ;-)

Hope it is made up entirely of FReepers.

Well, provided certain FReepers are excluded; it takes 12 righteous to hang'em, but only one boot licker to nullify justice.

That's the only hope for justice that horribly brutalized woman will ever see. Lets hope she owns these animals for what they did to her.

I would bet 99% that woman was not going to commit suicide, it was an empty threat.

It was a totally bogus accusation made by the perps to cover up their acts of barbarism.

That you can bet on.

Excuse me Mr. ‘I am so conservative that I just now joined FR’, I said it was UNDERSTANDABLE. I am not a liberal, I am married, and I love my wife. I don’t think people deserve to die, but they do deserve to be stun gunned, tied up, have their nuts cut out, and maybe blinded with a dull stick. Don’t ever accuse someone on here of being a liberal or not loving someone. Freaking newbies

Intro was a little lame... I don’t think you can draw a conclusion as to how conservative I am from the date I joined this site.

I apologize for having offended you but I had the same reaction as the other guy when I saw this story. When you comment on a post as passionate as this one you can expect passionate replies.

I personally think people who do some things deserve to die for their actions. The posters idea in this case may be a bit extreme, but his idea wasn’t from the point of the justice system but from that of the defense of a loved one.

Sorry to have offended your obviously conservative mindset. Honestly, though I may have spoken a bit out of turn but it seemed like you were almost scolding the other poster’s conviction.

Maybe I don’t really know how conservative you are, but it is very strange to see such new members when we had some pretty nasty elections in 2000 and 2004. A lot of politically nuetral people started to wake up about the, and conservatives even more. FR was available.

I would bet 99% that woman was not going to commit suicide, it was an empty threat. She was horrified at the fact she was arrested and they made her pay for her empty threat. The whole thing is reprehensible. Now I blame the doctor as much as I do the horrible cops

You'd be amazed at the insane things people do when psychotropic medications mix with alcohol in an unstable personality. Which is why they can't make bets on whether the threat to self was empty or not. They have to take them all seriously because you can't predict or control the behavior of a person suffering from drug/alcohol delusions.

It's doubtful this contraversy would have errupted if we still had adequate public mental institutions, she'd have been transported there and turned over to the white coats who would have done exactly the same thing. The problem is using law enforcement for mental health issues (thank a lawyer for that).

I obviously need your tag line... it annoys the crap out of me that I can’t be sarcastic without putting the ‘sarc’ thing at the end of the statement.

Folks are so blamed liber... I mean literal.

Okay, I figured out the problem. You used the abbreviation PD and I thought you were referring to the Plain Dealer, our local newspaper, stating that they should be investigated, because they, along with WKYC, had brought this case to the public’s awareness. Now I see that you wanted the police department to be investigated.

Of course, you would not know that in Cleveland, PD means Plain Dealer. I don’t use that abbreviation the way you do to mean police department.

“Still think the broad is innocent as the driven snow?”

Doesn't matter if she is innocent or not. No one deserves to be raped by police. The police cannot win their defamation lawsuit. The station asked for their side of the story and the police refused to give it. The police $uck and taxpayers are going to be left with the bill for their $uckage.

That’s the tv stations version. The police department alleges a different set of facts in their lawsuit.

One fact is that the tv station repeatedly portrays the video as being of a strip search. It was not. It was the execution of a medical order to remove her clothing as a suicide precaution. As well as the evidentiary facts of her intoxication on alchohol and psychotropic medications at the time.

And the police department has the Grand Jury decision of “No true bill” i.e. no criminal acts on their side as well.

I think they have a very good chance of winning a defamation suit. It’s an interesting drama pitting two of the most corrupted institutions against each other in the equally corrupt courts.

This is not an ABP...just pointing back to the initial event.
