Police conduct 11 min search of vagina, find no drugs

And charges against the police are of course dropped.

I read about it on reason.com, which has been on fire covering these police shootings, asset forfeiture, and other abuses like this. From reason:

Charnesia Corley was a 21-year-old college student with no criminal record when two cops from the Harris County Sheriff's Office stopped her in June 2015 for running a red light.

After searching her car, police claimed to have found .02 ounces of marijuana. That was enough, they apparently felt, to justify a full-body cavity search. When Corley refused to remove her clothes in the dimly lit parking lot where she was being detained, one of the officers threw her to the ground, pushed her partially underneath her own car, and yanked Corley's pants down to her ankles. For the next 11 minutes, dash cam video of the incident shows, she was held down by two officers while being searched. Corley claims that fingers repeatedly probed her vagina and that the officers ignored her protests. A third officer stood nearby holding a flashlight. No drugs were found on Corley's person."

You'll be shocked to learn she is black.

Seems like sexual assault.

I am trying to fathom how you justify an 11-minute cavity search in a parking lot.

If you have reason to suspect something and absolutely have to cavity search someone, then bring them into the station and do it in a dignified manner by a female officer.

I thought those kind of searches were done in police stations, by female officers >_>

Legalized rape is what this shit is. Become a cop if you wanna rape and kill black folks and get away with it.

The fuck?
 
Doesn't matter if there are no consequences for doing it.
At least there were huge consequences for these officers:

"Cedric Collier, a spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office, confirmed to Reason on Monday that Strong and Pierre are still employed by the department. The two had been placed on administrative duty during the grand jury investigation, Collier said, though he was unsure if their status had changed since the charges were dropped last week. Collier declined to comment on the call for an independent prosecutor, and he said the department is "reviewing our policies and procedures" involving traffic stops and searches.

Whether or not the officers who searched Corley's vagina for more than 10 minutes ever face criminal prosecution, there seems to be little question that the search violated the federal Constitution, state law, and Harris County Sheriff's Office protocol."

Oh, wait...

That inhuman scum like this exists isn't surprising. What baffles me is how often we fail to put them behind bars when the evidence is so blatant.

Why am I even surprised that charges against them were dropped? Just continuing the American tradition of state sanctioned rape of black women.

Oh... system is working as designed.

I bet these cops consider themselves "good cops".

When I don't see any cops in the street and on the news protesting and shouting about this, I'll continue to think they're all garbage and untrustworthy.

This shit is nauseating.

A.) How on Earth does a 0.5 g of weed justify a body search like that?

B.) Why did this take 11 minutes?!

This is insane.
A - it doesn't.

B - it likely took the cops that long to get off (not joking at all), that's why it lasted 11 minutes.

And indeed it is.
