Woman Calls nine one one for help

Is there a text version somewhere? Too much screaming in the video for me to get through it.
 
If that was my wife, I'd be afraid of what I'd do in retaliation to those deputies. What a bunch of low life c**ts.
I've never watched a video before that had me litterallly shaking w/ rage.
 
Seems like it's more of a strip than a strip search. Do you think the officers thought she was suicidal, so they wanted to remove anything she could use to harm herself? I can think of no other rational explanation.
 
que the police apologist. i can hear the excuses.

their jobs are hard enough. she should've listened to clayton williams and just laid back and enjoyed it. i'm sure we're not seeing the whole video or heard the whole story. she deserved it. she was looking for attention and trouble when she called 911.

this makes me sick. i find that i am starting to have very little sympathy for cops. i have to remind myself that most are better then the few uneducated fascist pigs that give all of them a bad name. but sadly, very few sheriff in that county will speak out against the sheriffs in this video. no honor among the people that are supposed to protect and serve.
 
Inexcusable. Absolutely inexcusable.

Of course, who is standing up for her? Looks like a coupla scumbag lawyers.

That's right -- what stands between citizens and oppression? Your lawyers, and your guns. I would suggest that we ensure that you always have access to both.

Indeed, for those of you who like to quote the phrase "first thing, let's kill all the lawyers," you ought to read the actual play that it comes from. The folks saying that line are akin to the bad cops in this video, not the citizens who actually need to assert their rights.

Actions like this are exactly why we have civil rights lawsuits, and lawyers to bring them. I hope that these folks get hammered in court.
 
I generally give cops the benefit of the doubt, but this is inexcusable and I can't see any reason the deputies in that cell shouldn't be fired.

If they didn't realize what they were doing was wrong then they don't have the judgement to be law officers. If they knew it was wrong, but didn't care then they also don't belong on the force.

I can't imagine I could hear anything that would mitigate what they did to that woman.
 
Unbelievable, and a clear violation of written policy.

Punish the assault victim; that's great police work.

I pray they lose the civil rights case, and their jobs. That's really too good for them, in my opinion, but not much else can be done.
 
I never used to be the type to make generalizations about cops, but it's getting harder and harder for me to give them the benefit of a doubt.

It makes me sick that these cops apparently think they can do whatever the hell they please -- and she was a victim calling 911 for chrissake!!!!

This video is absolutely disgusting. And also very scary.
 
A buddy of mine sent that link to me yesterday and i started to post it here and decided not to.....He and i always get into discussions about police abuse of power...i usually take the position of defending the police....but i have to admit, either he's getting better at finding things like this or the police are getting more abusive......

Everyone always thinks it can't or won't happen to them....until it does...and many times they get away with it.

that vid scares the crap out of me to be perfectly honest....
 
The negative consequences for law enforcement officers who abuse their power are not nearly enough. LEOs need to remember that every citizen they meet is their boss. Those who don't want to have to act as protectors and servants of the average Joe/Jill need to quit today. That's right-- servants, public servants. This whole episode pushes so many of my buttons I scarcely know where to start.
 
Its reasons like these that the police are loosing they're former controlling power. Used to a cop showed up and you did what they said. Now there is no way in hell that happens.
For instance, if I were gettingpulled over at night, I'm not pulling over until I get to a Walmart parking lot or something similiar
 
Okay, I'll take the bait. The lawyer and ex-cop in me will make a general response, and y'all can bring on the hate....

It is always hard to extrapolate from a carefully packaged set of video clips, but if the lady had, in the course of her dealings with the police, a psychotic meltdown (putting aside that it was brought on by the way the police handled her -- I am guessing that the reason she was taken into custody was that she unwittingly presented a "false ID") AND she gave indications that she might do harm to herself (the ambiguous response to the question of whether or not she intended to do harm to herself is a red flag to me here) then the police actions in putting her in a cell and stripping her down seem like a reaction (probably not the best reaction, but that is the issue that a lawsuit can assess). I can offer the observation that when people go into a panic reaction or have a mental breakdown, whether induced by stress, drugs or a medical condition, they become incredibly strong. Thus even a diminutive, 108 pound (guess) young woman can become superhuman and very dangerous both to herself and the people around her.

When I worked for UTPD we got called to the Student Health Center to assist the medical staff in restraining a very small frame female who was experiencing a mental breakdown, had broken away from the staff and was trying to fly off the roof. It took three officers, two nurses and two doctors to hold her down and restrain her so that a sedative strong enough to take down an elephant could be administered so she could be transported to the Austin State Hospital for evaluation and treatment. She was half naked at the time, but circumstances did not allow us to observe the niceties of just having female officers assist the staff.

Civil lawsuits do have a way of administering punishment through monetary awards and forcing review of policies, procedures, training and personnel. Federal and state penal laws provide criminal sanctions on law enforcement personnel who exceed or abuse their authority or use unreasonable force to control a situation.
 
That video disturbs me, but it realize that we aren't watching it in context.

However, context won't do anything to the fact that she was strip-searched by multiple men against prison policy.

I don't see how they can get around that.
 
...I'll also offer the observation that apparently the jailers videotaped the incident. Generally you don't do that unless you know you are going to have to account for your actions later. If The Man really wanted to beat you down, they're not going to put it on videotape......

But there are exceptions. Look at the jailers in Abu Grahib (sp?).....
