Oh dang I think the link works anyway?

Most cops seem way to incompetent to be allowed to do these kind of raids

and thats not even counting the ones that are amped up when they get put on a job like this, theyve got their fucking punisher patches on their uniform and theyre just hoping they get into a situation where they get to hurt somebody

That's so fucked up, but happens many times every day and too many people shrug their shoulders and ignore it b/c they want to "support the police"

I was a bit annoyed how often they pointed out she was a woman, "vulnerable", "in a room full of men", etc... Like a dude subjected to this is any better. At least she was an adult and had some privacy being in her own home...

We likewise found many instances in which officers strip search individuals without legal justification. In some cases, officers performed degrading strip searches in public, prior to making an arrest, and without grounds to believe that the searched individuals were concealing contraband on their bodies.

Over the last five years, the DOJ report points out, BPD has faced more than 60 lawsuits over illegal strip searches. It describes on such search of a woman who was stopped for a broken headlight.
"Officers ordered the woman to exit her vehicle, remove her clothes, and stand on the sidewalk to be searched. The woman asked the male officer in charge I really gotta take all my clothes off? The male officer replied yeah and ordered a female officer to strip search the woman. The female officer then put on purple latex gloves, pulled up the womans shirt and searched around her bra. Finding no weapons or contraband around the womans chest, the officer then pulled down the womans underwear and searched her anal cavity. This search again found no evidence of wrongdoing and the officers released the woman without charges. Indeed, the woman received only a repair order for her headlight."
The search was done publicly in full view of the street. In the end, the male officer who ordered the search received only a simple reprimand. Heres another, describing a search of a teenager out walking with his girlfriend near his home:
"One of the officers pushed the teenager up against a wall and frisked him. This search did not yield contraband. The officer then stripped off the teenagers jacket and sweatshirt and frisked him again in front of his teenage girlfriend. When this search likewise found no contraband, the officer ordered the teenager to give your girl your phone, Im checking you right now. The officer then pulled down the teenagers pants and boxer shorts and strip-searched him in full view of the street and his girlfriend. The officers report of the incident disputes this account, claiming that they did not conduct a strip search and instead recovered narcotics from the teenager during a consensual pat down. No narcotics were ever produced to the teenagers public defender, however, and the States Attorneys Office dismissed the drug charges for lack of evidence."
And heres another:
"[I]n 2015 an African American man filed a complaint stating that he was strip-searched by an officer whom BPD eventually fired in 2016 after numerous allegations of misconduct. The man stated that the officer ordered him out of his vehicle during a traffic stop and searched the vehicle without the mans consent. When the stop of the vehicle did not uncover contraband, the officer pulled down the mans pants and underwear, exposing his genitals on the side of a public street, and then stripsearched him. The officer seized marijuana and cash during the strip search and allegedly told the man that the officer would return his money and drugs if the man provided information about more serious crimes. The complaint stated that when the man did not provide this information, the officer arrested him and turned over only part of the confiscated money, keeping more than $500. Despite the serious charges in this complaint and the officers lengthy record of alleged misconduct, IA deemed it administratively closed without interviewing the complainant."

I only highlighted the strip search portions of the linked story, there's even worse shit in there. And keep in mind, this was all stuff done in plain view of DoJ agents specifically accompanying Baltimore police to investigate their conduct. Just imagine what they do when NOT being monitored.

There's countless stories like this, and people need to wake the fuck up and recognize how bad the situation is and demand punishment and accountability for it. Especially the supposed "small government" right wingers that most vocally defend the police any time they're rightfully castigated for unlawful behavior.

If it were a guy he's probably have gotten the shit beat outta him too

If it didnt have the potential to go so badly the level of incompetence would almost be hysterical. The suspect had a goddamn monitoring anklet on.

Whats really disgusting is how badly they tried to keep that video from getting released.

Yup!

Whats really disgusting is how badly they tried to keep that video from getting released.

Also that they blatantly turned the body cam off when going outside to discuss their fuck up. That should be a crime in and of itself, akin to destroying evidence. These are public servants. Supposedly.

or just shot, especially if he was committing the crime of being black in his home

"We apologize for our actions and will take steps to ensure this does not happen again, here are those steps"

That's all anyone wants to hear. People are not cold and unforgiving. They will be if you are.

Or keep doing this until you really have a problem with your employment.

Any reason they can't let her get some clothes before cuffing her? Were they intentionally trying to humiliate her?
