Yet more psycho cops - woman forcibly strip-searched.

[backscatter712]

Warning - this video is pretty disturbing.

In a nutshell, she accidentally gave a cop the wrong driver's license, and as a result, she was arrested, and forcibly strip-searched. The strip-search is essentially rape in every sense except she wasn't actually penetrated.

Pretty damned disgusting.

America, Land of the Stanford Prison Experiment.

1. yeah this video has been making the rounds

im not gonna watch again but I sure will K&R

[dysfunctional press]

2. how many more weeks are people going to be posting this as something new??

sheesh...

[acmavm]

4. Probably until everyone's seen it. Just because you and I have doesn't

mean everyone was here at DU when it was circulated before. And unlike a lot of the shit that gets endlessly recycled, this is important.

7. In my defense, this morning was the first time I'd seen this one. n/t

[acmavm]

8. No need to defend yourself. Like I said, compared to some of the shit

that gets posted here over and over and over, this is important. And it could be you, or me, or my daughter, or my mother next.

Everyone needs to see it.

3. WELCOME TO OHIO

I've spent the last few months here helping out sick family.
Cant wait to get the fuck outta here.
Its the first time in my life I've ever been scared to death of the police.
There are times when I am literally afraid to leave the house (at night on the weekends)
Call me paranoid but I never felt this way about the Vermont state police.

Also... is it just a coincidence that this women is attractive and has a nice figure?
Think not.

5. It is very rare that I side with the "victim" before the whole story is heard. This is bullshit.

That sheriff's department needs to be totally gutted, and they need to hire a new staff. Top to bottom. Nothing could justify that.

6. this was torture, and sexual assault, even for the, perhaps 5, male officers just watching, it is

also CIA type torture to strip and make victims sit for hours naked after being assaulted

[Buzz Clik]

9. Totally agree. I see no one at the department who could be deemed innocent.

11. I find it almost impossible to imagine a situation where this treatment would be reasonable.

No matter what a detainee is purported to have done, this treatment is inexcusable.

10. Oh my god, I feel physically ill after watching this.

In the Laa-and of the Fuh-reeeee, and the Home u-uv the Buh-rave.

And FWIW, I hadn't heard of this until just now.

Speechless...

[TahitiNut]

12. "Stanford Prison Experiment" is exaclty right - a very apt reference.

More appalling is the fact that this kind of treatment has become almost banal.

13. So sad

What has this country come to? Ok, I'm going to preface this statement first: This happened under the "keep your friends close and your enemies closer," idea. I was watching the O'Reilly factor the other day (and I almost killed myself), and at the end of the show he showed a clip of a teenage skateboarder being beaten by a cop. And do you know what Bill-O said? It was along the lines of "well, we can't say this is police brutality because we don't know what lead up to it. " Seriously? I can't imagine what a teenage skateboarder could say to a cop that would justify a beating.

When people put blind faith into authority, this is what happens. Cops think they're not accountable to anyone and they abuse that public trust. I think both of the officers should be in jail for assault.

And one more thing This is the kind of behavior that happens in fascist states, this police brutality. And then the word gets out that police assault people for no apparent reason, and the population becomes docile. We must take a stand against this! (I haven't thought of how yet, but I will)

14. What's with the skinheads?

Where are more and more "officers of the law" shaving their heads?

Do they identify with Nazi skinheads?

This video makes me ill. I hope the couple sue for every penny that department has, and I hope these sick fucks go to prison for a very long time!
