[y]riboisae0JY[/y] government is allowed to exist by the people. why do the people allow a government to exist in this form? third times a charm?
Still doesn't work for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aGEBRfEWQY You would only put the bolded part between the [y] parts, not the whole link.
Contact information for the sheriff's office: Contact Information Telephone (330) 430-3800 FAX Postal address 4500 Atlantic Blvd., N.E., Canton, Ohio 44705 Electronic mail General Information: [email protected] Here is what I'm sending:
3 medals of valor for the officers that did the strip sear... excuse me... the search with the assailant not clothed...
near the end, they say that she leaned against the officer right, those scrawny weak female officers needed big burly men to help them control a big burly female civilian... civilians are guilty until proven innocent, and cops are innocent until proven guilty, eh?
i'm sorry, but i would be screaming like fucking mad if several people were stripping me naked without cause.
So if you were face first in a mat soaked in sweat and urine while handcuffed while several big burly dudes were taking off your pants you would sit there quietly?
replying again after your edit. i just wanted to add that the male officers involved were breaking their department's rules about same sex strip searches. if i were a woman and a bunch of men were man handling me to the ground and began stripping my clothes away, fuck yes i would be screaming bloody murder and resisting. at that point, i don't know what the fuck is going on and now am fighting for my life/anal virginity
that's all good and well for cops doing their duty. but these cops were in violation of their own departments rules. see, cops speed 20 over the posted limit, they flash their lights to go through red lights, and we let it slide. then something like this happens. "oh, it's just an isolated incident" that happens over, and over again. each one of these 'isolated incidents' need to be pushed to the limit of examination- so that cops know that they can't make these incidents more frequent how much longer until america becomes the laughing stock of the justice system? how much longer until cops become private security forces for the rich and powerful? cops should be held to a higher moral and legal standard than civilians, since they are given more power in our society. but we just let it slide. how much longer? ahem. sorry </rant>
Now, I agree often the whole story doesn't make good TV news so they tell the interesting side of it, however in this case Imnot, I see a couple HUGE issues that make me think they the police are absolutely at fault here. First, violating policy and having males assist in a strip search. There is NO reason that it was necessary. Female officers are more than able to do the job. This is 100% wrong. Second, where is all this missing footage? Dash cam off? Video of the officers taking video of her in jail, but they don't send it in? Sounds to me like a whole lot of cops protecting cops/tampering with evidence. Third of all, keep in mind that she's the one that called the police about being assaulted in her own home. Now, I'll admit that it's possible that she was causing a ruckus when the officer arrived, but getting charged with resisting arrest? It all seems like the situation started with bad decisions from the initial arresting officer and snowballed from there.
I keep saying that the people need to rise up when this happens. In the old days, they would kill the sheriff over something like this. He should be thankful times are more civil, though I believe in striking back.
How can male officers behave in this fashion? I assume as a peace officer you were given the full training on what is acceptable conduct. I ask you, can you as a man remove a woman's underwear while she's screaming like that WHILE THE CAMERAS ARE ROLLING? It's double stupidity. Would you accept US soldiers doing it to Iraqi women in any war situation? Then how can you accept this against a female american citizen? And how can the female police there condone it? They all deserve to go to jail.
The fucked up part if this was an American soilder doing to it to an Iraqi woman it would be on national television
I see resisting unlawful detainment or unlawful search as justified. civil suits waiting to happen just for the department to settle out of court because of the "high cost of going to trial" it's happened a few times here in virginia over people OC'ing legally
I don't even know what I'd do if that were my wife. I, too, have no idea what sort of behavior happened on EITHER side off-camera. I have a sneaking suspicion that the lady may have been less than a lady prior to this incident. That does not justify it, but if that's the case, it may help explain it. There is no justification for males being present or PERFORMING the strip search. There's no justification for leaving a woman naked in a cell for 6 hours. There's no reason that the dashcam should have been turned off during this call. That certain footage is missing during critical times in this ordeal leads one to believe that something is being hidden. Combine that with the sheriff's claim that everything was done "by the book," and you have a far less than truthful story from the law enforcement side.
yeah, having that video will help her case immensely. OCDO suggests we carry recording devices whenever we OC for cases like that or others where the police are obviously doing something illegal. they never suggest that we resist, but that we stand our ground
