The question at issue, which the article completely avoids, is whether or not she threatened police with the firearm they confiscated from her.

USCG rescued over 5,000 residents without anybody getting hurt.

"When she refused to leave as ordered, they confiscated a firearm used for defense and according to Konie, "slammed" her to the ground, both displacing and fracturing her left shoulder."

This is a violation of several amendments of the Constitution. What were they trying to do? Looks as though they had a low IQ and need to be replaced.

Fact of American Life - after any natural disaster the lawyers will come out of the sewer to strip the bodies and get their cut of the recovery money.

Can anyone say 'tort reform'?

We saw that on television. The woman posed NO threat whatsoever to the officers.

It was pathetic to watch those guys manhandling this frail woman.

What's sad is, this the classic "blood from a turnip" situation. Even if she wins, I wonder if she'll ever see a penny of it.

This is the small eldery, frail looking woman who was tackled by the California police officer shown on Fox News.

She had an old Model 10 S&W revolver in her had. The topstrap and cylinder was in the palm of her hand. Her finger was not on the trigger. She would have had to rotate the weapon 180 degrees to use the weapon in the other hand or change her grip a full 90 degrees in order to fire the weapon.

My initial thoughts when I first saw her was I think she is to small to resist looters. I hope she has a gun.

To the Cal LEO I am sure just the fact that she had a weapon, loaded or not was sufficient reason to body slam this tiny lady to the floor. The fact that she was asking the LEO's to leave her home would be further insult in their eyes.

wideawake you can see the video for yourself here and ishabibble as you can see on the end of the video there was not one drop of water in her neighborhood as they are leading her out to the paddy wagon they are walking across bone dry ground she was not a "rooftop refugee"

video of Patricia Konie being forcibly removed from her home illegally by cops that did not have a warrant to even be in her house

4th amendment to the united states constitution(last I checked new orleans was a part of the usa)

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

another question that comes to mind is why after al l this time even if they thought they were justified in taking her gun from her for her own safety have they not given it back yet?

all those that are applauding the cops for violating constitutional rights as well as state and federal law maybe you should all get together and start your own forum called enslaved statist.com because you cant be happy on FREE republic.com and you must all be absolutely miserable living in one
