Marlene tapia New Mexico claims that a correctional officer sprayed pepper
spray or mace
on her genitals after it was she was accused of hiding drugs
a inside her body now she claims that she did in fact do it
and it was very obvious to the correctional officer a
she was suspected %uh a parole violation
the officer did a strip search and could see the bag he basically
you know coming out of her and I it's kinda difficult to explain it
in in an eloquent way but it is what it is anyway %uh
she claims that instead I love you know taking the bag out an interesting her
doing what she needed to do
%uh blogger the Pader sprayed mace
on her and that she suffered for a very long time as a result she said that she
suffered from burning swollen genitals
painful urination and pain I on
and burning on her face so she's planning on suing
and we'll see how the score how this case plays out but I do want to note
that in New Mexico they're dealing with a lot of very questionable
drug war issues okay for some reason the cops there have been
particularly harsh and aggressive with people that are suspected of using drugs
another story that broke very recently involved a man by the name and David
David
eckardt and he was pulled over because we're rolling stop that he did at a
Walmart
well cops believe that he was hiding drugs they got drug-sniffing dog and
they said that the dog was acting suspicious
so as a result they forced him forced him
to go to a hospital where doctor refused to do an
anal exam they took him to another hospital where doctor did agree to do
one
and they did to abdominal X-rays
a corner of Kirby 3 enemas 3 animus
okay and anal exam with fingers
twice he had to track someone down with a longer fingers because they weren't
sure but there's also the first one
he had no drugs on him they should have known that after
the first anal exam yet the second enema so I bring up these two
stories no two separate stories because it just kind of shows you
how much this war on drugs allows cops
and allows authority figures to violate our privacy
and do things that in my opinion are inhumane in this case
with David eckardt of course in both cases bring mace on someone's generals
absolutely ludicrous and if that did happen that correction officer should
not only get fired
but she should seriously face assault charges in the case of David
eckardt mean really you're gonna do three different animals
to abdominal X-rays a call and ask to be I don't know
yeah I don't know which alternative is
who is worse than the two alternatives that one things are just getting way
worse and cops are becoming much more violent much more schorr
their own power that or that things have always been this bad but now we have the
internet and we have national media that will take
what would have been a story for that particular town in New Mexico
and now we see across the country I don't know which have those is worse but
we should be worried about the police
like they have no limits on what they think they should be allowed to do in
this country
so right now I eckardt is going to file a federal lawsuit against this police
department
and hopefully plays out the way that we wanted to you
there should be consequences here because thats absolutely crazy to it
violates someone's right like that to have how violated you feel
if there are no drugs on you and they force you and by the way this was all
against his will he gave no consent and they performed all these procedures on
him
anyway yeah right but but I think the the real problem is
oftentimes these cases go with absolutely no consequences
no one ever faces consequences for TSO cops feel
empowered to continue doing it and it's a form of harassment
he's had trouble with the law in the past so these cops probably didn't like
him and they wanted to give him a hard time
but that does not warrant the type a behavior that you see from this
department
the particular cop in question is a Bobby Rosco
and I just I can imagine being put in that situation widening probe like that
yeah I I hope that one Utah consequences I hope what are the consequences at them
is the more stories you see about
the abuses that that seem to be unnecessary outcome of the drug war
is the people start to realize this is ridiculous its marijuana
who cares stop abusing people I hope that the consequence
when it comes to Pacific lead to the woman who may to the genitals and
another woman
who did admittedly have drugs i don't understood like to try to put myself in
the position of copper time
like a dog is jumping at you you shoot it i think thats horrible
you can sort of understand why when you're amazing
a woman's vagina like are you trying to
pacified the drugs or the venture are you worried about vagina dentata like
what was it that you were scared of punitive
it's punitive thats all it is I can we should make that case in a court
she will she gonna say I don't know I don't know I mean I have I don't know if
you know this woman has evidence what the cop dinner with the correctional
officer did I hope that she does if that was the case
but I it there's no other reason for it if
as the woman claims the bad was already
visible and the call the cop had to do was take it out
they just take out move on with your life it's a parole violation and by the
way
lets a worst-case scenario she has drugs on her
okay I mean I just don't understand I don't care I don't care if you want to
do drugs
I don't wanna waste my taxpayer money my resources
on prosecuting you and putting you behind bars I want my money to go toward
rehabilitation
I want my money to go toward prosecuting people that are
committed up doing violent crimes but when it comes to drug use
what a waste of resources and we destroy people's lives instead of trying to
rehabilitate them
Italy ancient drugs in the bag I care about that as much as if she had packets
of Splenda
in her vagina exact or couple Tamagotchi is it does not impact my life
not at all
