Cops Fired For Lying About Beating And Pepper-Spraying Group of Women Appeal To Get Their Jobs Back



From the Denver Post:
Two Denver police officers at the center of a high-profile beating outside the Denver Diner plan to appeal a judge's decision upholding their firings, their attorney said Friday.

Police Chief Robert White signed letters terminating Ricky Nixon and Kevin Devine for lying during the internal investigation into the July 2009 incident, in which surveillance cameras captured them beating and pepper-spraying a group of women outside the diner.

They were initially fired, but the Civil Service Commission reinstated them, a decision District Court Judge Elizabeth A. Starrs ruled Thursday was wrong. Footage from police department cameras did not match the officers' statements to investigators, the judge wrote in her decision.

The officers can appeal to the Colorado Court of Appeals.

Police vs. Pregnant Women


From the Files of the Nineveh PD
by William Norman Grigg


Life was uncomplicated for emissaries of the Assyrian Empire. They weren?t burdened by conscience, or hindered by the need to make moral distinctions. Their role was to extract tribute for the king in Nineveh, destroy all potential resistance to his rule, and maintain order. To that end they dispensed aggressive violence without pretense or pity, and didn?t flinch from targeting women ? including expectant mothers.

At some point within the last decade or so, American police adopted a modified version of the Assyrian model of law enforcement. This helps to explain why it is now considered permissible for a police officer to assault an uncooperative but non-violent pregnant woman.

Rochester, New York Police Officer Lucas Krull was recently captured on video assaulting a 21-year-old expectant mother named Brenda Hardaway, who had allegedly interfered with the arrest of her 16-year-old brother, Romengeno.

Police claim that they had arrived at the house to investigate a ?disturbance? involving several people in the neighborhood. By the time they arrived, the fight ? assuming that one had taken place ? had dissipated. Rather than making sure nobody was hurt and then leaving, the police claimed that ?tumultuous behavior? justified their involvement.

That ?behavior? consisted of 16-year-old Romengeno calmly asserting his rights by refusing to speak to a police officer and denying him consent to come onto his property. The government-employed gangster replied by snarling that the young man was a ?smartass? and placing his hands violently on the teenager. That provoked his sister to come to his defense. Krull claims that Brenda grabbed a can of pepper spray and ordered the police to leave.

That?s when Krull escalated the incident by assaulting Brenda. As Krull threw her up against a vehicle, Brenda cried out, ?Get off of me, you?re going to kill my baby? just seconds before the officer punched the woman in the back of the head and hurled her face-first to the ground. In the video, the victim is heard moaning, ?My baby, oh my baby? as the officer continues his assault, kneeing her in the back and forcing her to put weight on her stomach.

Rochester PD Chief James Sheppard defended the actions of his trained simian, praising him for using ?tremendous restraint.? He blamed Miss Hardaway for the assault she suffered, and described the blow to the back of her head as a ?distractionary? strike. ?When we receive resistance from an individual, we may strike you in a way that changes your channel, so to speak,? the chief smugly explained. ?In a way that changes your resistance.?

And when this tactic fails to subdue a pregnant woman, the Assyrian mercenaries under Sheppard?s supervision feel entitled to throw her face-down onto a sidewalk.

Romengeno was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and a single count of resisting arrest. Miss Hardaway was booked on several charges, including felonious assault on a law enforcement officer.

It?s worth remembering that all of this was supposedly justified because the police were dealing with ?tumultuous behavior? ? that is, the impermissible offense called ?contempt of cop.?

This is not the first occasion on which a Rochester Police Officer has inflicted gratuitous violence on a pregnant woman. In an earlier incident, a young pregnant girl was kneed in the stomach by one of three Rochester Police Officers who were restraining her during an arrest. The assailant had just been informed that the victim was an expectant mother ? which apparently prompted him to target her for a blow to the abdomen.

A pregnant mother and an elderly woman were collateral victims in yet another episode involving ?tumultuous? behavior. In April of last year, three Rochester cops swarmed and beat an innocent 25-year-old man named Jose Lugo, who was hospitalized after being subjected to ?distractionary strikes.?

Lugo was walking on a street near the home where he had lived for several years when a Rochester police cruiser suddenly screeched to a halt next to him and decanted three officers ? Kevin Flanagan, Joel Hasper, and Richard Doran ? who seized the bemused young man and started to drag him away.

When Lugo asked why he was being abducted, the assailants threw him to the ground, kicked him, beat him, and tasered him at least three times. The thugscrum expanded to fifteen as reinforcements arrived. Lugo?s aunt, Annette Velzquez, pleaded with the officers to stop beating her nephew, then informed themthat she was going to call Chief Sheppard, whom she had met while working in the local school district. Backup officer Benjamin Mitchell responded by shoving Velazquez, stealing her cell phone, pepper-spraying her, and arresting her. A pregnant mother and an elderly mother were also attacked by Mitchell or his comrades.

While Lugo was in the hospital ? where he was kept under armed guard by the gang that had inflicted his injuries -- he was charged with ?assaulting? the armed bullies who had put him there.

This follows long-established procedure: Any time a police officer goes ?hands-on? with an innocent victim, the victim is charged with a crime to consecrate the laying-on of hands as a ministration of official justice, rather than an act of criminal violence. Lugo had to endure six months of expensive and unnecessary legal harassment before being acquitted of the spurious charges.

Raven Dozier of DeKalb County, Georgia was likewise charged with a crime after she and her then-unborn child were assaulted by a police officer. Dozier, who was nine months pregnant, was present when police arrived to deal with a domestic dispute between her brother and his girlfriend. She had actually been urging her brother to cooperate with the officers ? until the point at which they threw him to the ground, attacked him with ?distractionary strikes,? and tasered him.

?He?s on the ground!? Dozier cried in horror. ?You don?t need to do that!?

Displaying the refinement that typifies those who follow his loathsome profession, one of the officers snarled at Dozier to ?Shut the f**k up!? To punctuate that directive, Officer Jerad Wheeler strode up to the sobbing and horrified woman and kicked her in the stomach with sufficient force to open a door.

Dozier?s brother was dragged out of the house, and several police conferred on the front porch. After one of them pointed out that they had a problem because Wheeler had ?kicked a pregnant woman,? another observed that they had to ?charge her with something.?


Raven Dozier's injuries.

A few minutes later, Dozier ? who was recovering from the assault ? was approached by the on-scene supervisor, who in a voice of affected concern said that the officers needed to take her photograph. He instructed her to put on her shoes and follow him outside.

The instant Dozier crossed the threshold of her home, Dozier was arrested for ?obstruction? and taken away in handcuffs to the DeKalb County Jail. The intake officer, who possessed some residual decency, refused to book the victim. He demanded that Dozier be taken to the hospital, where she passed a small issue of blood and amniotic fluid.

Her son, Levii, was born by way of an emergency C-section a few weeks later. Doctors informed her that the kick to her abdomen had been delivered with sufficient force to cause the child to defecate in utero ? which means that he had the sh*t kicked out of him by a police officer before he was born.

Wheeler is a police officer, which means he is trained to lie, given social permission to lie, and does so without hesitation. In his official report of the incident, Wheeler falsely claimed that he was dealing with an ?aggressive? woman and that he used ?a front push kick to the abdomen, as [I] was taught to do at the academy? ? once again, as a ?distractionary? strike. It was only after he arrested this ?aggressive? woman that he supposedly noticed her condition. His potentially fatal act of criminal violence was ratified by his superiors, who blithely stated that it was ?within policy.?

Police in Ocean City, Maryland also ?acted appropriately? when they tackled and assaulted 24-year-old Dalima Ekundayo Ibironke Palmer, who was part of a group being investigated for ? what else? ? ?tumultuous? behavior at a local beach. Palmer was nine months pregnant, a fact that was obvious to horrified onlookers who pleaded with the police as they wrestled with the woman. Shortly after being abducted, Palmer underwent an emergency c-section ? but not before being hit with four charges, including assault on a police officer.

In at least two separate cases, police have attacked pregnant women who went to them seeking help.

Jacksonville, Florida resident Melanie Williams, who was seven months pregnant, went into premature labor and called 911. Bleeding and dizzy, Williams decided not to wait for help and drove herself to the hospital, running a red light en route.

When she was pulled over, Williams frantically told the officers that she was losing her baby, sped off to the hospital, and dashed inside. However, the officers pursued her into the building, tackled her, and handcuffed her as she screamed, ?I?m pregnant ? someone help me, I?m bleeding!? One of the officers thoughtfully responded to that plea by putting a boot on her neck, and them stomping on her back, before she was dragged from the emergency room and put into a squad car. Thankfully, the child survived the vicious attack on her mother.

Valreca Redden was tasered by police in Dayton, Ohio when she visited a suburban police station to request that her one-year-old son be taken into protective custody. After speaking briefly with the police, she changed her mind and said, ?I?m leaving.? Despite the fact that Redden wasn?t suspected of a crime, she was told that she wasn?t free to leave.

Officer Michael Wilmer grabbed the thirteen-month-old child with one arm and used the other to shove the mother to the floor. A second officer materialized and attempted to handcuff the screaming woman. When she resisted, he applied a taser to the back of her neck. Redden was charged with ?resisting and obstructing?; as she was being checked into jail, one of the officers discovered that she was visibly pregnant.

Seattle resident Malaika Brooks was seven months pregnant when she was stopped for speeding while driving her 11-year-old son to school. When presented with the extortion note, Mrs. Brooks refused to sign it, assuming that by doing so she would be admitting guilt. The officer then attempted to arrest her for violating a ?law? that defines such a refusal as a ?crime.? Not surprisingly, Mrs. Brooks didn?t allow herself to be kidnaped without putting up as much resistance as possible.

Three officers were dispatched to put down this intolerable act of defiance. Officer Juan Ornelas twisted Brooks? arm behind her back while Officer Donald Jones applied a taser to her left thigh, then her left arm, and then to her neck. Mrs. Brooks, who was left with permanent scars, was later found guilty of refusing to sign the ticket ?a misdemeanor charge ? and acquitted of resisting arrest.

Once again: The infraction that supposedly justified the use of electroshock torture was a misdemeanor.

Brooks filed a lawsuit against the City of Seattle and its Police Department. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the police had used excessive force. The court also decided that the officers enjoyed limited immunity because in 2004, when the incident occurred, it had not been clearly established that using a taser in ?drive-stun? mode against a very pregnant woman suspected of a traffic violation constituted excessive force.

That ruling provoked a paroxysm of theatrical outrage from police unions, and an appeal by the officers who had attacked Brooks. In their petition of certiorari to the US Supreme Court (which was rejected), the officers whined that the ruling ?effectively strips officers of the authority to use any pain compliance technique to control an actively resisting arrestee.?

In an amicus brief filed on behalf of the officers, the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs? Association predicted that the limited exoneration granted to the thugs who assaulted Brooks (and her unborn child) threatened the existence of ?the rule of law? itself.

?It won?t be long before the word spreads throughout society?s criminal underground that the Ninth Circuit hasn?t simply given them a `get out of jail free? card, but a `never have to go to jail in the first place? card,? insisted the brief.

In other words: Unless police have unrestricted ?authority? to beat and torture pregnant women suspected of trivial offenses, lawful order will collapse. One can easily imagine similar claims being made by the revenue-gatherers and dispensers of punitive violence who were employed by Sargon II or some other ancient Assyrian ruler.

You people have a serious behavior defect! @7469, which people are you referring to? The police, or, info libs writers?

Mr. Grigg is "out of league," so to speak, but, not to such an extent, that I wouldn't fail to notice his grammatical error in the opening paragraph. he's used the word: "nor," in previous post, which tells me that the "error" was deliberate.

seems we're being redirected to the past - the a(SS)yrian empire... I've looked at it briefly, though, the readily available history on the Assyrians, omits a great deal. i don't feel up for un-riddling the past, but, if people want to know how the past influences the present - study the Roman's religion. the cartel is big on name-changing (aka "newspeak") but, when you apply Moses's numerology to the Roman's cosmic gods.... Well, you can rewrite the future

As for this article - it's a war construct.

The trigger is supposed to be both, minority, and, innocent-unborn-child.

I didn't bother watching the video, but, I can explain the con, (they use the same cons over-and-over, because "they" aren't clever enough, to think-up anything original).

But, rather than having me explain the con, (which would take up a great deal of time, and, cyber ink), I'll just ask 1 simple question: "who employs the police?"

Ok since it has not been addressed, would these defenders of liberty and justice like it if their wives or girfriends who were pregnant would want a person to exact the same brutish cro-magnon behavior towards their women? The answer is fuck no and they would probably not be able to control themselves in a civilized manner , oh no they most likely would retaliate with lethal force and then be aquitted of any and all charges, typical of for thee but not me fucktards attitude. Believe me if it was my daughters or wife being tossed around by these fucks they would pay more than a pound of flesh, they would would be slayed like the dogs they are. Christ on a stick this is just out of control and accountability is a foreign word to these maggots. @ L.S.

Dude............Dude.............You write as though you are pompous ass. There is such a thing as beautiful simplicity. Adding unneeded verbosity to your arguments is not only inefficient - it is repellent. It speaks volumes about your lack of intellectual self-esteem. You're like a cake with 7 layers of icing - and all people want is just cake.

I would much rather read an article, grammatical or not, by Grigg than by yourself. At least Grigg doesn't waste my time. If you wrote an article, it would consume twenty-one pages, and all you would have said --- is that at one time in your so called life ---- you flatulated into a car seat.

@5029, :)

i'll try to slow down. my mind pings all over the place, so, i often stop short of completing a comprehensive post. thanks for your insight; while rude, it was informative.

now then.... this article, like so-many others on this site, reads on the brutalities that police inflict upon the masses. the commentary readily bashes the police, some, even blame the civilians, but, this mode of thinking sets up a dialect, 'police vs. the people;' doesn't offer a solution to prevent police from committing these atrocities.

my point - police are paid to enforce a corrupt body of statutory law. they are subjected to much more mind control, than the general population is, yet, they are treated as expendable pawns, by both, their employer, and, the masses. that's an atrocity, in my view.

maybe, the book should opened on policing training programs. i'd like to see what causes these robo-cops to run amuck. perhaps, it would also, give the masses, a better understanding on how to deal with police; preventing the war dialect.

@5029, 'time' can't be "wasted."

lastly, @nonymous 5029, if your judgment is the standard, by which intellect is measured, and, in your view, i'm "wasting your time"... perhaps, you're missing vital pieces to much a larger equation; which for me, translates to: "i've followed my orders successfully." sorry for the confusion. i'd likely, have gotten along with you in the "real" world. @ L.S.

My apologies - I could have been more constructive. I don't doubt your passion or intelligence. Your delivery needs improvement.

A few lessons a valuable English professor taught me:

1.Write as though your speak to the laymen and not to your intellectual peers - at least in the public realm.

2.You have an arsenal of language and grammatical tools at your disposal. Does that mean you need to fire all your munitions at once? No. Linguistic restraint is just as important as linguistic descriptiveness. Just as a painter need not use all the colors of the spectrum, or the musician need not use all notes on the scale - the writer should only use what is necessary to convey his point.

Reply (Sep 01 2013, 7:02 PM):
I disagree. A true libertarian acknowledges personal responsibility before all else. An individual that voluntarily contracts their services to the state and willing accepts indoctrination has no excuse if their behavior violates common decency and /or violates or brutalizes the citizenry. Every person is accountable for their own actions. Belonging to a certain organization under certain conditions is not a reason for forgiveness or pardon should an individual victimize their fellow human beings.

An individual who works for the State is an expandable pawn. It is not an atrocity. It is reality and it is the nature of power and the State. It is natural law and it has been happening since humans first formed familial alliances. No force, or idea, or awakening will change the abhorrent reality that is the State.

To reiterate my point, read up on the reigns' of King Henry the 8th, Stalin, Lennon, Hitler, Julius Caesar, Castro, Napoleon, Mao, and countless others.

The dialect of the Police vs. the People is already established and becomes more apparent as our society becomes more authoritarian. The praetorian class is a parasitic cancer draining the life, moral and productivity from the common citizen. If the balance of power weighs too heavily in regards to the praetorian class then it is up to the citizens to assemble and fight to restore power back into their hands - by peaceful or violent means. It is naive to think we can all just get along with those that display utter contempt for liberty - that those whose boots that crush our fruit, our properties, and our bodies will come to an empathetic understanding of the common person's plight. The police, the State, in these times have unofficially declared war on its own benefactors. You can sit on a fence if you'd like - but don't pretend there are no sides.

To a human time is a finite resource. You can use it productively or you can throw it way on unproductive ventures. It is up to each individual to decide the best use of their time, but it most certainty can be wasted.
You have not wasted my time.

Reply (Sep 01 2013, 7:32 PM)
have no standard of measuring intellect. I'm not in this world to prove I'm smarter or better or faster. Many MANY many people outrank my intellectuality. All I can do is absorb what is beneficial to me and my fellow humans. I am not superior to you in any regard. Should I write a post that tells you your long-winded - it is not to belittle you - I'm just saying "Dude...............you're long-winded............take it easy.

Peace and Prosperity

@nonymous 5029, i disagree with most of the philosophies you've set fourth, however, i made a vow to dear friend of mine, (who is deceased now), that i would not let my ego interfere with the mission at hand. after having read the latter of your comments, i realize, that your initial advice was sound, and, that i did let my ego run rampant - without regard for that advice. i'm sorry.

i know where you're are coming from, so, i will take your comment away with me, with much consideration. regards, L.S.

Trooper Fired For Cavity Searching Women In Bikinis Driving Back From Beach Reinstated, 'Was Just Following Orders'


Chris | InformationLiberation

Trooper Jennie Bui was just "following the orders of a senior officer" when she inserted her fingers into two womens' privates in two outrageously invasive body cavity searches on the side of the highway, so Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw gave her her job back.

While "I was just following orders" was found to be an indefensible position during the Nuremberg Trials after World War II, when it comes to the Texas DPS, knowing you will blindly follow any order no matter how criminal makes you more than qualified for the job.

From the Dallas Mourning News:

Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw reinstated a female officer who was sued and placed before a grand jury after she conducted a body cavity search on two females stopped for speeding.

McCraw pointed out that the Brazoria County grand jury declined to take action against Trooper Jennie Bui. The trooper was fired in June after ?an extensive investigation? into the incident.

But McCraw said Bui was relatively inexperienced and was following the orders of a senior officer, Nathaniel Turner, who was initially suspended but since has been fired.

[...]?While the actions of Trooper Bui constitute misconduct, I believe her actions are mitigated such that she should not be terminated from the agency,? McCraw said.

He further said that, "Turner's conduct was unacceptable, and violated DPS policy and was outside any authorized training provided to Trooper Turner by DPS.?

I Feel sorry for the American people. It seems that the U.S. Gov't can use, ' I was just following orders, I didn't know it was against the law and It's a matter of national security, ' as a reason to commit crime. Nobody else can do that, why do you think you can get away with it. Good luck American people, you're going to need it. Nazis were "just following orders", too I am going to start using statist excuses in my daily life. "Citizen safety" will become part of my repertoire. "Based on my training and experience" will also be a key factor. Just think of the difference we could make if we all became a Citizen Peace Patrol armed with handguns and cameras streaming to Youtube and researched citizen arrest laws... Every time we observed police officers violate the law we could film them and effect a citizen's arrest. Oh, probably wise to keep some cash at home for bail money, but if enough of us did this it would make a difference.

Why Are Police In America Treating Women Like Dogs?

by Michael Snyder

When I was growing up, police in America generally treated women with gentleness and respect.? It was generally understood that women were not to be thrown around or mistreated by police unless they were being openly violent.? But in most areas of the United States those days are long gone.? Sadly, many police officers seem to make it a point to be especially mean and degrading to women.? All over the country women are being openly abused and humiliated by police.? In America today, women are being yanked around by their hair by police, women are being pepper sprayed directly in the face by police, and women are being brutally strip-searched in front of leering male police officers.? This is not how a civilized nation should be treating women and there is no excuse for treating women like dogs.? The incidents that you are about to read about are absolutely shocking.? They reveal just how far America has fallen.? If police will treat non-violent women like dogs, then what will they do when the time comes to arrest you?? That is something to think about.

What police are doing to peaceful female protesters in some areas of the country is absolutely horrific.? A recent article by Steve Watson described the degrading things that were done to one group of women when they were arrested in Maryland....

Attorneys with the anti-abortion groups the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), the Thomas More Society of Chicago, and the American Catholic Lawyers Association revealed that after their arrest, the protesters, including women and young girls, one as young as 14, were put into leg shackles and strip searched twice, while being denied the right to make phone calls, and make contact with lawyers. The protesters were kept in jail overnight.

Reports indicate that the first strip search took place in the police station parking lot in full view of male officers. The second strip search was conducted at the Harford County Detention Center.

You can view a few minutes of video from when the women were originally arrested right here.

How would you feel if your mother, your wife or your daughter was being treated like this?

How would you respond if you learned that your female family members were strip-searched in front of leering male police officers?

There is no excuse for treating women like this.

In other parts of the country, police are getting very violent with peaceful female protesters.

For example, you can see videos about female protesters being pepper sprayed in the face here and here.

Is there any excuse for spraying pepper spray directly into the face of a woman that is being completely non-violent?

Police officers like that give all police a bad name.

Perhaps even more disturbing are the police officers that have been yanking women around by their hair.

In the video posted below, police brutally drag UCB English Professor Celeste Langan to the ground by her hair.? She was not being violent at all and she actually offered her wrists to the police and verbally told them that they could arrest her.? But instead of doing that, the police yanked her by the hair and threw her to the ground.? Subsequently, the police did the same thing to two other peaceful female protesters....

In the old days, any police officers that treated women like that would be run out of town.

But in modern "Amerika", police get to treat women as brutally as they want.

In fact, if a woman calls the police in "Amerika" she may get raped.? When one 19-year-old single woman in Milwaukee dialed 911 for assistance, she never imagined that the police officer responding to the call would sexually assault her.? But that is exactly what happened.

Yes, there are still lots of good police officers out there in America.? Many work incredibly hard in extremely difficult circumstances to try to make our communities a safe place to live.

Unfortunately though, there is a cultural shift happening in America and the number of good police officers continues to decrease.? Many good officers are being slowly but surely replaced by brutal monsters that have no problem with treating people like garbage.

This kind of mistreatment of females by police officers is even going on in our public schools.

For example, a sixth-grade girl in Colorado was recently arrested and marched out of her school in handcuffs for being "argumentative and rude"....

An Adams County Sheriff's Office incident report says the assistant principal found Yajira walking in the hallway during lunch because the girl claimed she was cold and needed to get a sweater from her locker.

The report says the assistant principal was in mid-sentence when Yajira, "turned and walked away saying, 'I don't have time for this.'"

When intervention efforts with a counselor failed, Yajira was handcuffed and put in the school resource officer's patrol car and taken to a juvenile holding facility called "The Link."

In a previous article, I detailed some other incidents where female students have been arrested and publicly humiliated while at school....

*At one public school down in Texas, a 12-year-old girl named Sarah Bustamantes was recently arrested for spraying herself with perfume.

*A security guard at one school in California broke the arm of a 16-year-old girl because she left some crumbs on the floor after cleaning up some cake that she had spilled.

*In early 2010, a 12-year-old girl at a school in Forest Hills, New York was arrested by police and?marched out of her school in handcuffs just because she doodled on her desk. "I love my friends Abby and Faith" was what she reportedly scribbled on her desk.

*A 6-year-old girl down in Florida was handcuffed and sent to a mental facility after throwing temper tantrums at?her elementary school.

*A 17-year-old honor student in North Carolina named Ashley Smithwick accidentally took her father's lunch with her to school.? It contained a small paring knife which he would use to slice up apples.? So what happened to this standout student when the school discovered this?? The school suspended her for the rest of the year and the police charged her with a misdemeanor.

*In Allentown, Pennsylvania a 14-year-old girl was tasered in the groin area by a school security officer even though she had put up her hands in the air to surrender.

Are you disgusted yet?

You should be.

In Massachusetts, police were even sent out to collect an overdue library book from a 5-year-old girl.

What kind of country are we becoming?

Of course the federal government is one of the worst offenders when it comes to treating women like dogs.

At airports all over America, women are being strip-searched and publicly humiliated by TSA agents.

The following is how blogger Erin Chase described what she experienced when she went through a TSA pat-down while going through airport security with her young baby....

She patted my left arm, my right arm, my upper back and my lower back. She then said, "I need to reach in and feel along the inside of your waistband."

She felt along my waistline, moved behind me, then proceeded to feel both of my buttocks. She reached from behind in the middle of my buttocks towards my vagina area.

She did not tell me that she was going to touch my buttocks, or reach forward to my vagina area.

She then moved in front of my and touched the top and underneath portions of both of my breasts.

She did not tell me that she was going to touch my breasts.

She then felt around my waist. She then moved to the bottoms of my legs.

She then felt my inner thighs and my vagina area, touching both of my labia.

She did not tell me that she was going to touch my vagina area or my labia.

Does treating women like this make us a safer country?

No.

The truth is that no other nation on earth is doing this sort of thing.

But it does show that we are becoming a country full of idiots.

After enduring such a horrific pat-down, Erin began shaking and she felt as though she had just been sexually assaulted....

I stood there, an American citizen, a mom traveling with a baby with special needs formula, sexually assaulted by a government official. I began shaking and felt completely violated, abused and assaulted by the TSA agent. I shook for several hours, and woke up the next day shaking.

Here is why I was sexually assaulted. She never told me the new body search policy. She never told me that she was going to touch my private parts. She never told me when or where she was going to touch me. She did not inform me that a private screening was available. She did not inform me of my rights that were a part of these new enhanced patdown procedures.

It is absolutely mind blowing how women are being treated in America today.

How we treat women says a lot about where we are at as a nation.

And right now America is becoming a very heartless place.

"What can you offer to get out of a DUI?" -- Cop solicits women he pulled over

Ex-cop convicted of 12 counts in women's DUI stops
By Phil Blauer


SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A former San Diego police officer accused of trying to elicit sex from seven women he pulled over in the Gaslamp District was convicted of eight felony counts and four misdemeanors Thursday.

Jurors found Anthony Arevalos, 41, guilty of multiple counts of asking for a bribe, and assault and battery by a police officer.

However, Arevalos was acquitted of other serious charges, including sexual battery by restraint charges, and while he was found guilty of false imprisonment, those counts were reduced to misdemeanors.

The TSA: Protecting Us From Bald Women and Artificial Knees

by Becky Akers

"She then said, ?And if we don?t clear you, you don?t fly? loud enough for other passengers to hear. And they did. And they stared at the bald woman being yelled at by a TSA [Transportation Security Administration] Supervisor," writes the "bald woman," Lori Dorn.

Ms. Dorn is a consultant in "human resources" who underwent "a bilateral mastectomy in April and had tissue expanders put in to make way for reconstruction at a later date." She was flying out of New York?s John F. Kennedy International Airport last week when the TSA pounced on her, as it has countless other survivors of cancer.

Though Ms. Dorn had submitted to the TSA?s pornographic and carcinogenic "imaging scanner," she "was asked to step aside to have my breast area examined." Perhaps this will disabuse the serfs once and for all of the fallacy that posing in these gizmos rescues them from the TSA?s punitive "patdowns"; you do "choose" to be either ogled or groped, whatever the TSA implies.

Ms. Dorn informed her assailant she "was not comfortable with having my breasts touched" and carried "a card in my wallet that explains the type of expanders, serial numbers and my doctor?s information (pictured) and asked to retrieve it. This request was denied. Instead, [the TSA?s degenerate] called over a female supervisor who told me" ? at top volume ? "the exam had to take place. I was again told that I could not retrieve the card and needed to submit to a physical exam in order to be cleared."

Try to imagine the thuggette so sociopathic that she insists on pawing surgical incisions, let alone ones so personal. Or read Ms. Dorn?s reaction to this unconscionable cruelty: "I have been through emotional and physical hell this past year due to breast cancer. The way I was treated by these TSA agents added a shitload of insult to injury and caused me a great deal of humiliation."

Tragically, Ms. Dorn grants the TSA the empathy it denied her as she echoes the justification its prey so often does. "I understand the need for safety when flying," she says as gamely as any gazelle conceding that, yeah, the hyenas currently ripping into its throat are undoubtedly famished.

Listen up, Ms. Dorn: the TSA has nothing whatever to do with safety. Just the opposite, in fact. The agency irradiated you though you?re already battling cancer. Then it sexually molested you. That?s criminal endangerment, not security.

Ms. Dorn did score a victory of sorts. Rather than applaud its goons for "following protocol," as it usually does when their brutality outrages the country, the TSA apologized, albeit half-heartedly: "We do our best to treat passengers with the dignity and respect they deserve," prated the smarmy "Blogger Bob," who regularly channels Joseph Goebbels on one of the TSA?s official websites.

Let?s have a show of hands: how many agree that the TSA "do[es its] best to treat passengers with the dignity and respect they deserve"? Yo, Joe: I don?t think the propaganda?s working. Maybe ask Adolph for some pointers?

Joe also reminds us that "Medical cards" such as Ms. Dorn tried to present to her gate-rapist, "whether from a physician or TSA, do not exempt you from screening. ? Private screening can be requested by any passenger for any reason and in situations such as this one, our officers should offer it." [Original emphasis.]

Here we go again, with the TSA?s wishful thinking that sexual assault isn?t so long as the perpetrators describe it in advance to victims, offer a choice of locations, and "follow proper procedure." I await the day when a jury exonerates a freelance rapist on such grounds ("Your honor, we find the defendant not guilty because he screamed at the plaintiff exactly what he was going to do before dragging her away to a secluded area?")

Nonetheless, Ms. Dorn has "accept[ed] ? the TSA?s apology" despite "hear[ing] from many that [it] rang hollow." Really, really hollow. No matter: she seems thrilled that "a government bureaucracy ? acknowledge[d] something went wrong," and she even responded to Herr Goebbels? blogging: "Thank you very much. I really appreciate the TSA taking the time to investigate my concerns."

Another patient and passenger also rejoiced at Our Rulers? notice of his plight. Thomas Sawyer wears an ostomy bag after losing his bladder to cancer. The TSA manhandled him, too, breaking the seal on his bag and soaking him in urine last November. Its chief, John "The Pervert" Pistole, phoned Mr. Sawyer. That had the dazzled peon gushing to MSNBC, "First [The Pervert] apologized ? And I thanked him." Thanked him? "Then I told him off a bit." Oh, the daring, the lese majesty! "And he said, ?Tell me more. What do you think needs to be done??"

You might assume Mr. Sawyer would bark, "Abolition, you reincarnated Nazi!" But no. Instead, he "offered to attend a general staff meeting to show the staff what an ostomy bag is and help with that training ? Pistole said he just may take me up on that."

And so "The TSA ? flew Mr Sawyer to Washington in March to speak to federal officials about insensitive screeners." Which is sorta like speaking to Charles Rangel (D-NY) about the graft swamping Congress. Alas, the "training" didn?t take: "insensitive screeners" broke his bag and soaked him again this summer. "I thought that I had really made a difference for people flying with urostomies, I really did," Mr. Sawyer moaned. "I'm angry this time. They can't be training them properly." Talk about your impossible dream! Teaching the TSA?s yahoos "sensitivity" is like teaching Rangel ethics.

My money says the yahoos will also emerge unscathed from the "in-service technical training course focused on screening prosthetics" (nope, I can?t translate the jargon, either) the TSA has "rolled out" in response to Ms. Dorn?s trauma. Meanwhile, she can thank her lucky stars the deviants didn?t "offer" her their vaunted "private screening" as they did Carol Murray.

Ms. Murray is a 61-year-old grandmother from Ottawa, Canada, with an artificial knee. After visiting family in California a few weeks ago, she headed to Los Angeles International for her flight home. There the TSA "pulled" this gray-haired, bespectacled passenger "from the normal security line" when her implant rang the metal detector. "She was given the option of having the search done in the open or behind closed doors. She chose the private route, which she now regrets?

"Murray said the female agent, in view of another female staffer, proceeded to run her hand along the waistband of her pants, back and across her buttocks. ? her stomach was checked and hands felt down between her breasts. The officer knelt down and ?firmly sliced both hands? into her private parts, front and back. ?I was in shock and could barely breathe when it was over.?" She then "fell into my husband?s arms and could not stop from crying." She?ll probably also suffer "uncontrollable intrusive thoughts about" this sexual abuse, "realistic nightmares ? flashbacks ? social withdrawal ? hyper-alertness and hyper-vigilance ? trouble falling or staying asleep ? irritability, hostility, rage and anger..."

Ms. Dorn plaintively asks, "At what point does the need for security eclipse human dignity and compassion?" At the point where slaves pretend Their Masters protect them.
