"Once in custody, three young women among the group arrested - two of whom were teenagers - were subjected to two rounds of strip searches. Only after the strip searches and a night spent in jail were they told why they were arrested."

Now sue THEIR pants off.

The heavy hand of the Law is fixing to get their hands slapped. Money talks, so hit them in their wallets good and hard!

After they sue these troopers for being statists, they ought to sue them for being fatsoes.

If the suit is successful, will the damages come out of the officers own hides, or will the taxpayer have to cough it up?

I think I know the answer already.

Meanwhile, the queers can parade around naked and engaging in sexual depravities, in the open for all to see, with impunity.

The mohammedans can block traffic facing Mecca with their posteriors lifted high, signs saying “Death to America”, “Death to Israel”, and “911 Was a Good Start”, with no fear of being arrested and strip searched by the police.

The world is upside down.

The Police are your friends and ALWAYS deserve the benefit of the doubt. I'm certain that these hardened criminals should have been given a corrective beat down on the way to jail. That would teach em!

The court wrote that the pro-lifers’ allegations “plausibly alleged an absence of probable cause [for their arrests] and that the absence of probable cause would have been clear to a reasonable law enforcement officer.”

Ooooh. That hurts.

And what's with the goofy hats?

shameful behaviour......what kind of men are these cretins anyway?......

I'm sure they'll say they were just "following orders"......we all know where that lead too in Germany....

people on Fr sometimes will opine that our police and our military would never turn against "us".....better rethink that....

Sue these fascist pigs into bankruptcy. I’m sick and tired of reading about abuse of police powers and it’s high time we get rid of thugs hiding behind the badge, starting with Eric Holder.

Failure to obey a Lawful order seems to be used a lot.

It gives police an almost unassailable power.

How does anyone know what order is lawful and what is not?
Simple, any order that comes out of a cops mouth is considered lawful at the time.

If he say’s move, you move —or else.

Not sure that isn’t a bit too much power.

The best thing to do to a LEO is strip his civil immunity.

They hide behind the tax payer to fund the inevitable lawsuits for their screw ups and criminality.

But, when a LEO community sees that they personally will be on the hook for a lawsuit, they begin to think twice before violating constitutional rights and committing crimes.

Classy!

“One of the women who participated in the tour overheard a police radio conversation during the arrest where an unknown person told the troopers to make the arrests and that they would “figure out later” what charges would be filed.”

Would you please link a source for that quote?

Think again.

You want to see what happens when liberal “cops” are confronted, check out the LA riots. The “cops” in LA hopped in their squads and drove home, when tasked with putting down a mob of brick-throwing thugs.

Read the cop blogs and it will soon become apparent what liberal “cops” will protect above all else - their own hides and impending pensions.

OTOH, there are thousands of elected sheriffs and deputies protecting your liberties and will stand up to liberal “cops” who carry out the illegal orders of their big city Marxist masters.

My elected sheriff runs on a platform of protecting the constitution and citizen’s 2nd amendment rights. His deputies are well trained and go about the business of catching crooks and burglars in my community. He’s routinely re-elected with 70% of the vote.

So yeh, there may be liberal “cops” who will carry out the illegal orders of their Marxist masters, but should they venture out from the liberal big city hellholes, they have been and will be confronted.

We need to remember than these abusers do not constitute all police officers. At the same time, all officers have a duty to the constitution and that means outting officers who are abusing their power and citizens of the US.

Concerning this incident, these were political arrests of protestors the officers hate. The people arrested were Christians of varying ages. They took three Christian teenagers and violated them sexually with totally unwarrented strip searches and shackled them naked. They did this on purpose knowing the girls would likely be modest and that strip searching them would demean, frighten and hurt them.

They should face sexual abuse charges among all the other charges they face. They had no right nor reason to strip search the girls let alone arrest them. They committed torture to political prisoners.

Everything you said is on target. I’d only add that these Marxist cops need to be stripped of their sovereign immunity and personally sued for everything they own.
