police mistreatment of women

[napolitana869]

man I can't believe this. First they put a rape victim in jail and now cnn is reporting cops not letting a women who was pregnant and bleeding go to the hospital for 9 hours and the baby died. She asked 21 times and the cop said "how is that my problem". This just makes me so mad.

i was just reading this in the news....she definately has some legal issues going on, but they shouldnt have done that....i would bet race and all that plays a part as well...america will never change...this has begun to become the norm of behaviour and actions of the police and other public safety offices as opposed to the random happening....sad....

Yeah I heard the story of the rape victim.. they wouldn't let her take her 2nd dose of emergency contraception.. and it's coming out that the police holding her refused to approve it as a medication on MORAL grounds!!! How is it 'moral', even if you are anti-abortion, to refuse the day after pill to a RAPE victim?

WOW is all I can say.

The norm???? America will never change???? I think you are off base on this one princess. I believe it's the opposite.

Over the last 5-10 years people are finally beginning to realize in order to make change you have to hit the police, as well as others who are in "charge", where it hurts. Hit them in the wallet. Money talks.

Civil suits, which are easier to win than criminal cases, have caused public officials to take notice. Laws have been passed addressing attacks and mistreatment based on race. Will things like this ever go away? Probably not. But as long as we have lawyers who want to make a buck for themselves as well as their clients I think it's safe to say America is changing in this aspect.

take care princess

Just watched the video and the lady is like super nice a polite the entire time. I hope both of those officers "Protecting and Serving" the community so well get what they should! FIRED. F them.

Oh. My. God.
I am so sick and tired of crap like this. And the fact that these abuses are caught on tape doesn't seem to be changing anything, except that now perhaps more people are becoming aware of the things that some people have been saying all along: the system is corrupt, biased, and doesn't work. Or rather, it only works for some people, and I think we all know who they are. We definitely know who they aren't...they aren't women or minorities.

This incident drove me crazy. Apparently, freedom of religion only extends to pro-life people. Pharmacists are actually allowed to refuse to dispense emergency contraception, and regular contraception, if it conflicts with their religious beliefs. So, in the process of protecting someone's freedom of religion, other people's religious and civil liberties get stomped into the mud. Sickening.

That's crazy. i dont trust police, personally. It's the fact that they are human.
So are we.
She should of went to the hospital. I hope those two get fired.

The whole legal system is just one big mess of papers, reports, and bullshit. Cops lying out their ass and people who got money get away. Thats how it is, thats how its been, and thats probably how its going to be for a long time.
