Yet another case that illustrates the utter failure of conservatives. If these had been leftists demonstrating every democrat leader would have been on the barricades to protest and calling for punishing the LEO offenders.

And from the republicans? -Crickets...

If the protesters had been armed with bats, vandalizing businesses and burning police cars....they’d have been let go without a hitch.

Unless the settlement agreement involves criminal convictions against top administrative officials from the city of Bel Air, Harford county, the Harford county detention center, Harford sheriff’s office, and the city and state police who participated in the gestapo tactics (along with their superior officers), and punishment of a public flogging of these criminals, justice has not truly been served.

There is no justice in America anymore. Only the tyranny of the Left.

It's that "abortion" thing - sticky dontcha know - they're against it alright, but not enough to stick their necks out.

Read the article and was stunned that the young women were strip searched in front of male officers. Guess they are lining up their retirement jobs with TSA. Ought to be ashamed of themselves but I am sure forced “peep” shows is part of their benefit package. IMHO.

Every trooper involved should be fired immediately! There is no excuse for an illegal order being carried out!

First time I heard about this. Note also that the
protestors were pursued by the sheriffs deputies.

My earlier comment was intended as a self-reproach. I
find that the episode was featured on WND and Life Site
News.
