To: Still Thinking
what do you believe should be the penalty for the degree of malice or stupidity that would lead one sincerely to believe something untrue, when that erroneous belief leads to such egregious violations of one of their superiors' civil rights?

Boy, is that a garbled sentence. If you are asking what the penalty should be for cops who think a guy is carrying, and so do an anal exam, followed by a colonoscopy, I think the penalty should be serious jail time. They are dangerous, the kind of dipwads that shoot dogs on a whim and people if they have an excuse.

Remember in "A Fish Called Wanda" when Kevin Kline eats a bunch of goldfish until the Monty Python guy tells him where the key is hidden. KKKKKen finally tells him that it's in the treasure chest, but when they look inside, it's not there. Kline is pissed, but then he says "still, you really did think it was there." KKKKKen is like the cops, I think they really did think it was there. I am just curious why they thought that, what their thought process was. Not to excuse them, but to figure them out.

Even if their belief was genuine, they violated the rights of this guy from the get-go. No one, certainly not me, ever said otherwise. Clenching one's buttocks during a traffic stop does not create probable cause for anything whatsoever, other than issuance of the ticket and a "Have a nice day".

Several anal exams, several enemas and then a colonoscopy which, esp at age 63, does have risks, some life threatening.

Additionally before a colonoscopy you need to be cleaned out and not take anything that might cause you to bleed. You need to carefully examine a medical history before a surgical procedure. What those quacks did to him is malpractice and I see the attorney has filed for it.

This was nothing less than targeted persecution. I am going to watch this case, apparently the rapists are already hoping for a settlement out of court, and hope the hospital is shut down too.
