Indiana Woman Stripped By Jailers And Left Naked For 7 hours

NEW ALBANY, IN — A mother of 4 says that while she was in police custody for a misdemeanor, she was stripped naked by deputies, pepper sprayed, and left naked in a cell for nearly seven hours.

The incident took place on March 30th, when 31-year-old Tabitha Gentry, of New Albany, was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, after an emotional fight with her estranged husband. She was taken to the Floyd County Jail and held on 2 misdemeanor charges.

Gentry appeared to be intoxicated and did not answer questions to the satisfaction of the deputies. In an effort to produce “submission through humiliation” — as attorney Laura Landenwich described — the jailers then strip-searched her, and paraded her around in front of other deputies, and left her nude in a room with no covering for the rest of the night.

Surveillance video shows much of the ordeal.

“Almost immediately upon entering the jail, she’s assaulted by four officers. They grab her around the neck, they grab her body,” Landenwich said to WDRB.

I did not realize being arrested for drunkenness was a one way ticket to being stripped and publicly humiliated.
Most of all I wonder who the sick freaking female cops are that participated in this.
I do not think this is part of the new military training either.
Unfortunately this is why stuff like the Nevada incident will continue to happen.

3:28 has a LOT of friends, 3:53. And for the record (report THIS, you Nazi) if they had done that to my wife, they wouldn't have lived two weeks.
They didn't do that for any "safety" concerns. If you believe that, you are worse than stupid. They did that to put her in her place. To degrade her. To teach her who the boss is. To sexually assualt her under the color of law. She should win enough in a lawsuit to rename the police station "Himmler's Headquarters".
Whomever you want to report me to, make sure they understand to come in force and that some of them ain't going home again. Ever.
That's not exactly a "terroristic threat", though. More like a promise.
