Cops Make Parade Float Mocking a Woman for Being Raped By Her Father as a Child

[MindPilot]

The Baton Rouge police department has launched an internal investigation into the actions of officers who allegedly rode on and helped decorate a float that mocked a woman for being raped as a child; by her father.

The theme of the float was of the Baton Rouge reality show, “Sons of Guns.” It focused on the daughter of the former television star, Will Hayden. Hayden is currently facing sexual assault charges in East Baton Rouge and Livingston Parishes, after being accused of sexually assaulting his own daughter along with two other victims.

The float was “decorated” with a large photo of Stephanie Ford, the sexual assault victim, with the caption underneath her photo stating, “A face only a daddy could love.” Other sayings on the float consisted of things like, “Krewe of Sleazania,” “Red Jack It” and “Kiss Me Daddy.”

No words...

On edit I do have some words. Try to get your head around the mentality of the people who would even think of something like this. Then consider they not only thought of it, they decided it was a good idea, and then actually went out and did it. Then consider those are the same people who are sanctioned by the state to wield lethal force against the citizenry, and to do so who little oversight and even fewer consequences. We live in a very sick place.

1. What the hell is wrong with some people?

[underpants]

2. No kidding

This is mindboggling

[calimary]

16. Man, no shit.

This is just flat-out disgusting.

[daleanime]

43. Very first thing that popped in my mind...

[ReRe]

73. They live in a different world...

... mentally.

[mercuryblues]

137. this is their mentality

Every single post on their FB page, calling them to the mat on this is getting deleted and the poster blocked. So their officers can have "free speech" rights without repercussions but let citizens exercise their free speech, they get silenced.

Let the BRPD what you think of their "officers of the law" flood the page. Let them know the whole country sees what they are. Keep those fuckers busy deleting comments and blocking posters, instead of shaming victims of child rape.

3. That made my skin crawl. nt

[Oubaas]

4. I don't even know what to say.

These aren't humans. They're some sort of reptile that has learned to walk on its hind legs.

[seabeyond]

6. they are very much human. they are thru out our society. we have daily evidence of it.

as girls and women experience this shit, that very much affects their every day living. it is our reality. it is what we often discuss, so we do not dismiss it as mere monsters, or "not human" but an actually reality we live in.

[Oubaas]

17. You're right...

...but it's so disturbing that my mind reels and I don't know how to fully express the loathing that I feel when I hear about stuff like this.

[seabeyond]

18. true that. i hear you.

thank you for being so gracious allowing me to make my point.

[arcane1]

9. All too human, unfortunately.

[Jamastiene]

5. I am beginning to really not like cops at all.

When they do these "internal investigations," they always find the actions of the bad cops acceptable. I mean, they are "investigating" themselves. Of course, they will never see any wrongdoing on their own part.

This is disgusting. It is going to be disgusting when they find no wrongdoing on the part of those who participated too, because that is what they will "find."

[arcane1]

7. That would be sick just as a private joke. They went out in public!!

How could anyone think that's a good idea, and yet somehow be qualified to be a cop??

[Buzz Clik]

8. Soon-to-be-unemployed cops, one can only hope. n/t

[seabeyond]

12. so unfortunate we can only hope a person loses their job with this misogyny. but, it is the same

with the level of racism, too. kinda like doj saying sexual harassment was not addressed in fergusen, though that was not the objective to find, they just saw it while seeing rampant racism.

hand in hand.

[MindPilot]

28. Yep hand in hand is right, where you find one, you will find the other.

So they get fired...it doesn't fix the underlying sickness. They will still be racist, misogynist, sociopaths and they will just go do it somewhere else.

[ReRe]

74. They probably won't be fired.

[jeff47]

66. The track record does not indicate that will be the case.

If shooting unarmed people and perjuring to cover it up gets a short "administrative leave", being a complete asshole isn't going to be punished much.

[gollygee]

10. Holy crap

whole article should be read by everyone.

[MindPilot]

11. Yes. But fair warning, the pictures are disturbing. n/t

[seabeyond]

13. i did not go in and read. i am so tired, of this shit. i will read now. nt

[sarisataka]

14. 60 day investigation?

I bet I could complete it in under 60 minutes...

[ReRe]

75. I could do it in 60 seconds. n/t

[Iggo]

143. What are their names? What did they do? Do we agree they did it? Done.

You're right. That took a whole lot less than 60 days.

[ReRe]

144. What it is is...

... give 'em 60 days to come up with a cover-their-ass story. I hope that girl sues their butt. Bet they settle out of court, though, as the child has already been thru hell. Sad thing is the float was probably in Baton Rouge's Mardi Gras parade, so allot of people seen it. Why did Baton Rouge let it in the parade? That's another question. I've been in community organizing of parades and I know that not every unit that shows up gets in line. This one should never have been allowed in.

[jwirr]

15. Making the punishment fit the crime: they should get to go to jail with daddy.

[Rex]

19. Why would they do this? I don't get it at all. Do they know her personally? WTF!?

Why would they do something so wickedly evil as this? Are there cops out there that think raping a woman is a joke? Holyeeee-ehit!

[seabeyond]

23. well ya. a couple of cops were recently "disciplined" whatever that result was, for joking about

girls getting raped, and the joke recorded..... not a couple months ago. ya. lots feel rape is a joke.

lay back and enjoy if rape is inevitable.

[Rex]

25. That is mind boggling considering that they are in the professional business of

crime fighting. Rape is universally accepted as a crime. Sadly sea, my post what somewhat rhetorical. It is just at times, my mind boggles at the evil some men do.

They wanted to humiliated this poor women and I want to know why.

[seabeyond]

27. i hear ya. and i wonder what "Rape is universally accepted as a crime."

actually means, too often.

[Rex]

30. I don't think the War against Women will ever end.

Not until the entire patriarchal system is overturned and replaced with a progressive social system. And I just can't see that happening. I think men would destroy (make it a barren planet) the earth first.

[Half-Century Man]

71. Rape is very nearly "universally" a two layered crime.

The first crime is the rape itself, the second tier is the victim shaming that all too often happens. I will admit, a parade float takes shaming to a whole new level.
It warms my heart (or is that inflames my hemorrhoids?) to see the compassion our distinguished oath bound protectors of society in action.

Perhaps they should change the slogan of the BRPD to "Fuck you. I like guns"?

[2naSalit]

63. From the pictures

it looks like they are presenting the victim of rape as a little girl. If they are doing this using a young girl victim, they are exponentially disgusting to the point where there are no words to describe their illness.

I see them as a waste of good air and other resources.

[Voice for Peace]

112. I suspect they are fans of the Show's star, and therefore minimizing the rapey parts

blaming the women for making shit up... like that. It's my only guess.

Creatures with vile little brains that make them always want to fuck something.

[Fumesucker]

50. I found a picture of Will Hayden I think explains things perhaps..

[Rex]

92. Yep, that does help explain quite a bit imo.

Gun humpers have many issues.

[awoke_in_2003]

97. Do you know any cops on a personal level?

All the ones I have known have had a very sick and disturbing sense of humor.

[Rex]

98. I live in a small town and know the CoP and many of his patrolmen.

NONE of them would do something like this. The town would roast them over a spit if they did.

[awoke_in_2003]

101. I have always lived in larger towns...

maybe, with a smaller force, there is more accountability with the population.

[Rex]

102. I think you are on to something, I would love to compare numbers between metro cops

and small town cops.

[Iggo]

133. They.Think.It's.Funny.

[Gormy Cuss]

20. The mentality is sociopathy.

Those are severely twisted minds.

[dhill926]

21. your words...

are my words.

"Try to get your head around the mentality of the people who would even think of something like this. Then consider they not only thought of it, they decided it was a good idea, and then actually went out and did it. Then consider those are the same people who are sanctioned by the state to wield lethal force against the citizenry, and to do so who little oversight and even fewer consequences. We live in a very sick place."

my god….

[Iggo]

134. Yep, yep, yep.

That is exactly it.

[Fix The Stupid]

22. You know... I thought I'd seen it all..

Then you read this.

I can't even wrap my head around it at the moment.

Where does this stupidity come from? And these people are the ones "in charge"?

I know my Canada has some issues, but dam, I really feel for the good people down there...I can't imagine what it would be like to share the same spaces as people like this.

I would move.

[In_The_Wind]

24. This is wrong on so many levels.

Ford also said at least one of the officers took to Facebook to share photos of her image on the float.

Also ...

[villager]

26. Why does anybody imagine, for a nanosecond, that such "personalities" as these, so typically found

...on police forces 'round our country, wouldn't enthusiastically act as Concentration Camp guards, or whatever the next equivalent would be, once the shit starts hitting the fan in earnest?

[MindPilot]

32. I'll bet there are a whole bunch of them

who salivate at the very idea of enforcing martial law.

[villager]

39. I'm pretty sure they can't wait, either. Rape and extra-judicial killing wouldn't be questioned,

and the things that drew them to such "careers" in the first place could reach "full flower."

[Quantess]

29. See? RW Conservatives DO have a sense of humor.

It's humor. A fucking riot comedy relief, source of many jokes for assholes.


Just FYI, I'm not going to even look at the article. This is all I need to know, because I like having peace of mind, and not getting upset over things that don't involve me.

The victim of sexual abuse is being mocked and damaged by the cruelty and nastiness of the peopl who are supposed to protect victims, and all you care about is the verdict? How nasty. Not even annoying, just plain sick, twisted, nasty.

[freshwest]

77. *Puzzled...* As I was here...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026312706#post13

We play out the judicial process as laymen at DU, but at times, one wonders what a person is really saying, you know?

LA's gone medieval on women, the real point of this OP. I've seen plenty of mockery of sexual assault victims by males, but these goons really showed their Id there.

Might as well, all the better to name names.

[bravenak]

84. People have lost their minds and the annoying one needs a pizza. Now.

I have read the craziest things on DU lately. Enough to make me hesitant about posting.

145. Thank you!

I will try to hang with you all.

[chervilant]

60. Interesting...

I wonder why some among us want to post comments like this one. Do you hope to start a flame war? Do you think that you are being funny? Intellectually superior?

The parade float is the issue here; do you not get that? POLICE OFFICERS decided it would be fun to derogate a survivor of childhood sexual assault! I can't even wrap my mind around this grotesque behavior!

Furthermore, when an adult gathers together the courage necessary to tell anyone that her FATHER raped her, she should not be ridiculed by the police, or by anyone in an online forum!

Shame on you!!!

[niyad]

82. I cannot believe that poster is still here.

33. what the fuck?

[Oneironaut]

34. Imagine how these cops are with rape victims that come in.

[samsingh]

35. there is a lot of crap from police officers all over the country

it's not difficult to accept that a lot of the killings of black men are murder.

[samsingh]

36. are there any hiring standards for the police?

[djean111]

37. For those who naively believe that reinstating the draft will cause people to demonstrate against

war and that will end a war - no, sorry, all that will happen is that "people" like these will be loosed upon the demonstrators, gleefully wielding all the militaristic weapons they have been gifted with.

And, think about it - all the demonstrating about Ferguson? NO ONE got punished, except, of course, some demonstrators.
Lots of words and blood spilled, but no real change, anywhere.

[whereisjustice]

41. Our justice system has become much like our health care system and education system

corrupt beyond all repair. I suppose it wouldn't be pragmatic to hold those in power, including our paramilitary police, accountable. maybe they'll walk with a small fine and no admission of guilt as long as they promise to self-regulate a bit better.

Prison is for those without money or state sponsored permission to shoot and kill anyone who challenges you in the slightest manner.

[seabeyond]

47. i think the only pragmatic thing is to hold the higher up responsible. they draw the line for their

force. with higher ups, walking in integrity, we have a lot more chance with our police doing the same. personally i feel, that is the only answer

they want the responsibility, they get the higher pay, recognition, power.... we should have expectations that they must meet.

[MindPilot]

70. You are very correct; this is systemic and institutionalized.

In any organization, the leadership sets the tone by both command and example. In this particular case, it is obvious that the tone is such that the people who did this not only saw nothing wrong with it themselves but also believed there would be few if any consequences.

72. Police departments police themselves

That's a very bad situation. They have also created an insular culture and trained many recruits with median IQs in the low 90s who also appear to have authoritarian personality disorders. We would not have so much of this knuckle walking stupidity and plain meanness if the cops had liberal arts degrees, were paid professional wages, were encouraged to continue their educations, socialized more with non-cops and then refrained from busting them at parties for smoking pot.

WE have a very serious problem with assholes and sadly probably 95% of all police and sheriff depts are racist as well

[rustbeltvoice]

79. "Disgusting, repugnant, vile, hateful, despicable"

This is a public manifestation of evil dementia.

Mardi Gras is to be a spirit of frolic, good-natured, perhaps puckish. This was a celebration of depravity.

Privilege, hypocrisy are the rightful targets of mockery. To mock victims of crime and violation is a form of public psychic torture.

[nruthie]

80. I don't even have the words for how disgusting this is.

[niyad]

81. I have plenty of words--only, if I said them, some disgusting piece of filth cop or whatever

may they all receive everything they deserve.

[niyad]

83. and these are the people who are supposed to investigate the crime of rape? how well do

you suppose these cretinous, hate-filled bastards do when they have to investigate a rape? imagine how they treat the victim. imagine how few of them actually find that a crime has been committed..

and, so there is an "investigation"?? how in the HELL was it not known what these female-hating bastards were doing? this float was done in secret, maybe? nobody else knew? nobody had the decency, the humanity, to bring this to command's attention? I don't believe that for a moment, nor do I believe that anything punitive will happen to these disgusting excuses for human beings.

[NancyDL]

85. How do you even begin to change this?

The first changes would have to be at the top - the Police Chief, the Police Commission. But what about the politicians? The State of Louisiana depends on the tourist industry - especially New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Would tourists want to visit a place where the police held attitudes like this?

Attitudes could and would be changed, if the people got fed up enough to develop a strategy and follow through. This is actually true of America.

Remember - in America, effective strategies are those that hit the pockets of the 1%.

[NancyDL]

86. Post 31 was hidden.

Why? There was nothing rude or insensitive about it, only an inquiry about the facts. Is the purpose of this board to provide a polite venting space, or could it be a space where progressives discuss the facts and begin to develop some consensus? That can't happen unless the rules are understood by everyone.

[LanternWaste]

90. Quite often, what is glaringly obvious as intolerance and misogyny

"Why? There was nothing rude or insensitive about it..."

Quite often, what is glaringly obvious as intolerance and misogyny to the vast majority will yet be rationalized... with a tablespoon of fictional concern to help it go down better.

[AverageJoe90]

124. Monstrous is what it is.

A lot of these types, frankly, know full well that they're hurting people, but they simply don't care.

[rhett o rick]

104. I understand your concern. Often here in the self-righteous feeding frenzies, posts will

get hidden if they even hint at being sexist or misogynist. I don't think that was the case here. The OP wasn't about the case against the father, but about the police supporting a float mocking that alleged rape. The poster insinuated (always dangerous) that the main issue was the innocent until proven guilt of the father in lieu of the openly hateful parade float. I would have voted to hide.

[Oilwellian]

105. Because the OP is about the behavior of the cops

Nancy. It wasn't about the trial. It was about cops mocking a young woman who claims her father raped her. Nancy. Those of us who aren't obtuse, completely understand why the post deserved a hide.

[Madmiddle]

87. We already had an idea

Police are not only corrupt, but filled to the brim with hate. Here's hoping that Hayden goes to jail for life. The cops that helped on this float, here's to hoping they get fired for their hate, ignorance and disgusting behavior.

[ReRe]

88. Internal investigation isn't going to get it...

... this needs to end up in a court of law on behalf of the victim, and all victims everywhere.

[DeSwiss]

89. As a society devolves into anarchy......

...one of the first signs of its impending upheavals are when the staid and august institutions for maintaining the peace and control begin to go berserk. People like cops, judges and those to whom we've granted the greatest of authority over us, begin to toy and play with citizens like a cat with a mouse.

- That's where we are now. It will only get worse unless we stop them, NOW.

I have two questions that the article appears not to address:

1. Where was this "displayed - some sort of parade, or something? ... organized by who, and for what purpose?
2. Who paid for this "float"? Was it the officers themselves, or did they have funding from the department?

She ought to sue them for slander. If any department funds were used - she should sue the whole department.

110. They must be fans of the show's star... he's quite the Rapist!

The charges against him include two counts of aggravated rape and one count of forcible rape. If convicted of aggravated rape, he faces a mandatory life sentence.

Hayden is accused of raping two preteen girls, according to the Advocate. He is accused of raping a girl in East Baton Rouge beginning in March 2013, when she was 11 years old, until August 2014. Additionally, a woman, who is now in her 30s, also came forward claiming Hayden raped her in the 1990s when she was 12 years old, the Advocate reported. She told detectives she was staying with Hayden's family at the time of the alleged assault because her house had burned down.

In late August, Hayden was arrested as a fugitive and charged with aggravated rape. That marked the second time the Red Jacket Firearms founder was arrested that month. In early August, he was arrested on charges of child molestation and crimes against nature, but released on $150,000 bail. The victim told police at the time that "the alleged acts occurred almost daily, but [the victim] didn't report them because Hayden made threats," according to CBS affiliate WAFB.

The reality star's eldest daughter, Stephanie Hayden Ford, initially defended her father. However, in a September interview with Dr. Phil, she revealed her father had touched her inappropriately when she was 12 years old.

120. Found a local story about the incident along with an interview with Stephanie

and, in my opinion, it's worse than what the OP's article posted:

http://www.wafb.com/story/28191603/sons-of-guns-star-stephanie-hayden-ford-disgusted-with-parade-float-theme

A spokesman for the Baton Rouge Police Department, Don Coppola, identified three officers who were allegedly either on the float or helping to pull it. All three are Sergeants with BRPD. They have been identified as Douglas Atkins, Byron Fontenot, and Donald Young.

Young now works in Internal Affairs, but used to work in the department's sex crimes division.

The fucker used to work in sex crimes?!?!?!?!? This is the asshole that you had to go to and report a rape, never mind that with this attitude how he investigate fellow officers: "oh you smacked her around? Well she probably deserved it!"

It is well past the time for all officers to be mounted with body cams that they can't turn off and store all information at a secure, offsite location; civilian review/oversight boards for all departments; and a morality clause in every employment contract. I would also like to see annual physiological testing/reviews and free therapy for all officers who desire it, but those are probably too much to ask for.

122. I'd call them pigs.

That, however, would be insulting to pigs.

[AverageJoe90]

123. Sick bastards.....

No, I'll go farther: I'd bet anything that at least some of these guys are just plain monsters. Yes, I fuckin' said it. I realize that some people around here have a hard time dealing with that fact, but there it is.

127. It's like they were begging "Fire Me".

[Maraya1969]

128. LOOK INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FATHER AND THE COPS!

I bet there is some relationship, maybe from childhood that caused these guys to be so fucking supportive that they did this stupid loathsome thing. It he was a nobody to them why would they pick him? It wasn't just a random pick and I'm sure they see these types of cases a lot.

129. Good point.

There very well could be a personal connection, indeed.

[mountain grammy]

131. Just when you think it can't get any worse... it does!

These are some sick bastards. Sixty days to investigate? Double sick.

[Iggo]

132. Yay, Cops!

They're the best!

[heaven05]

136. Hey, she shouldn't have made her gun nut, cop-friendly father look bad

by being raped by him.

[elias49]

138. In a simpler time they would have been tarred, feathered and

simply run out of town.
Now we have to have these f****** 'internal investigations'.
Go away sick bastards.

[Dont call me Shirley]

139. The event organizers should never have allowed this vile display to go on the parade route.

That is equally disgusting. It should have been turned away.

The day this kind of thinking and behaving is risen above will be joyous.

[marym625]

140. This is our society.

How it ever even got in the parade speaks volumes.

Sickening

[WinkyDink]

141. Captain O'Grady and the Victim's Daddy are brothers under the skin.

[SummerSnow]
