SHe sounds like a wonderful and loyal religious women.
A Muslim woman is suing Long Beach police, saying an officer forcibly removed her religious headscarf during an arrest.
The federal civil rights lawsuit was filed Friday on behalf of Kirsty Powell, who was stopped last May as she and her husband drove home.
Powell says she was taken into custody on warrants and at the police station, a male officer forcibly removed her headscarf the hijab despite requests for a female officer.
Powell says in violation of her religious strictures, she was forced to remain exposed overnight in view of other male officers and dozens of inmates.
The warrants were later cleared.
Police say they're aware of the lawsuit and a statement may be issued later

One of these days, some Muslim nut will hang herself in her cell using a headscarf... and the police will be guilty then, too.

During the arrest - so, yeah, sorry that your religious practice was being interrupted BY YOU BEING ARRESTED.
While I wish little more power to the courts, I wish CONGRESS would direct judges to assign contempt charges for idiots who file IDIOTIC lawsuits such as this one.
You don’t want your headscarf removed, THEN DON’T GET ARRESTED.

The head scarf fetish is tribal not relights. What a dumbass.

If she’s pissed at having her head scarf removed, image how irate she’ll be after they strip her naked, hose her down with a fire hose and then de-louse her.

She should be thankful...Removing her scarf by removing her head would be a more moslem-like procedure.

perhaps this is case number 107 and 37 waiting to be decided yet
To: Pearls Before Swine
great point, and CAIR will be there to sue the police again
To: StCloudMoose
I sometimes wonder whether in such obviously laughable cases there isn't some collusion between the arrestee and the arrestor (and some "Better Call Saul" shyster) to facilitate said lawsuit... ka-ching! And everyone gets their "cut".

If she is such a good Mohammedan, what is she doing walking on the streets without a male relative? Why is she not at home where she belongs (according to their book)?
Hypocrite.
