Woman strip searched,beaten.groped by police.

Bullies in uniform. I found more on this outreageous story,so I edited it.


While in custody, Bonds had a hand placed under her white pants around her upper thigh and hip. It is around this time that Bonds, who had not done anything violent, struck out with a mule kick.

It’s been two years since she was arrested, manhandled and stripped of her shirt and bra by Ottawa police officers.

One officer even pulled the woman’s hair, though the 27-year-old was in handcuffs and not resisting.

Special constable Melanie Morris then kneed her in the leg and lower back moments before Sgt. Steve Desjourdy used a pair of scissors to cut her clothes off while other male officers pinned her to the floor in the cellblock, where some of the 89 security cameras captured the scenes a judge branded an “indignity.” The judge also said Bonds showed no hint of aggression or violence.

Police Chief Vern White called the case appalling.

2. The officers in this incident need to be fired and 'stripped' of their pensions.
I feel so sorry for this woman.

7. They also need to be stripped of their freedom.
Anyone else who did something like this would likely be spending some time in prison.

3. Their mothers forgot to provide them with "gender training"
Gee, I learned that you don't rip off people's clothes and leave them naked back when I was in kindergarten.

8. And people wonder why I fucking hate the cops.
If you or I had been throwing a woman to the ground, ripping off her clothes, beating the hell out of her until she wet herself, reaching down her pants, we'd be hit with aggravated sexual assault charges and be looking at twenty years to life.

But when a cop does it, he gets a paid suspension, a joke of an internal affairs inquiry that invariably ends in the cop being let off the hook and patted on the back for a job well done.

All his fellow cops, including the "good" cops will cover for him, form the blue line, because solidarity with fellow cops outweighs the lives and dignity of anyone who's not a cop.

Any time I encounter a cop in real life, my objective is to avoid them. I don't respect them, except the obligatory respect given to any thug with a gun to avoid being killed or maimed. Real respect I give to fellow human beings, they get none. Just the false respect that comes from fear.

Oh, and the next time I'm summoned for jury duty, I will automatically, every single time, assume the cop's lying unless there's incontrovertible evidence otherwise. Cops are professional liars.

Fuck the police - they're a poison in human society.

10. These cockroaches are cowards, to be kind.
Coppers tend to complain about how tough their job is all the while acting "tough".
One cannot be "tough" and complain.
