we really need to remove immunity on cops.
these folks need to go to jail themselves and get sued



Dana Holmes was driving home from a wedding in May when she was pulled over by Marseilles PD for speeding. After failing a breathalyzer test, Holmes was taken in for DUI and transported to a LaSalle County jail. It was there that her dignity and humanity was stripped from her by four deputies.

It seemed like a routine booking until a female officer began a customary pat down. After searching her right foot, deputies violently forced Holmes to the floor and carried her by her limbs into an open cell. There, three men and the same woman ripped off all of her clothes, including her undergarments, and left her naked and exposed on the floor of the cell. Minutes later, a deputy opened the cell door and threw in some blankets and what is described as a “padded suit” by authorities. There she sat for over an hour, alone and afraid with only a blanket to hide behind.
“I was terrified…I felt helpless,” Holmes recalled to CNN. “I was scared and I lay there crying. I just prayed.”

It didn’t stop there, either. Deputies entered again to rouse Holmes from her sleep, and was then paraded around the station naked to be photographed and fingerprinted. She can be seen in the video clutching at the blanket, desperately trying to retain her modesty in front of her abusers.
“I just felt helpless and degraded,” Holmes told the Chicago Tribune. ”I was actually afraid they might come in and try to rape me.”

Authorities have had some trouble getting their stories straight after this staggering abuse. LaSalle County officers claimed that the Marseilles police officer that transported Holmes told them that she was “being mouthy and causing problems,” though the Marseilles DUI report noted nothing of the sort. The report stated that Holmes “seemed confused” about the arrest but described nothing of her temperament otherwise.

1. I wonder if the cops ever do this sort of thing to someone who looks like this:

You know, stripping a big bulked-up guy naked. Or is this something they reserve for women only?

2. Since when is being mouthy and causing problems

a justifiable reason to strip someone anyway? We need to start holding the police accountable for their actions.

Enough of the taxpayers picking up the tab.

3. Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders, 2012

In a 5-4 opinion the Supreme Court found strip searches to be per se reasonable for anyone brought to a jail, even for a traffic infraction. 566 U.S. ___ (2012). Kennedy opinion, joined by the rest of the fascists on the Court.

7. There is Illinois state law at play here. The deputies apparently violated it.

Strip searches only for weapons or drugs.

Strip searches only by a same sex officer.

No witnesses of strip searches.

The county should pay out big-time, and the deputies should lose their jobs.

9. yup nt

10. State law has generally been the only recourse in civil rights cases for the last 20 years.

If "1983" isn't dead, it's certainly on life support.

15. Absolutely! Then they should be stripped naked and jailed.

I don't think men realize just how horrible and dehumanizing it is to a women to be seen naked.
Men are used to being seen by other men...plus there are those that expose themselves and want to be seen naked...women would never do that.

4. What's the problem?

They will hold an "internal" invesigation, where upon investigating themselves, we will be assured by either the department's PR rep, or higher ranking officer that they found that the "Officers all acted within department guidelines" and "that the officers' actions were lawful and within departmental policy".

8. We need a national commission on law enforcement standards and practices.

Or will we continue with the police outrage du jour forever.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

12. We need a national commission to determine why Eric Holder is not enforcing the law.

11. If you want to do something on behalf of this woman, here's the phone number to call.

First, consider this,

"It is a crime for one or more persons acting under color of law willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive another person of any right protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. (18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242). "Color of law" simply means that the person doing the act is using power given to him or her by a governmental agency (local, State, or Federal). A law enforcement officer acts "under color of law" even if he or she is exceeding his or her rightful power. The types of law enforcement misconduct covered by these laws include excessive force, sexual assault, intentional false arrests, or the intentional fabrication of evidence resulting in a loss of liberty to another. Enforcement of these provisions does not require that any racial, religious, or other discriminatory motive existed. "

Now, who should you call? Try this guy, the one on the right:



There is a rumor that he is the Attorney General in charge of enforcing the federal civil rights laws.
