**** the Police

[Omegilla]

1) Cops overdo a search on a man known to hide drugs up his butt, yeah...that department still sucks

2) Cops taze a man to stop him from running into a flaming building and seriously endangering his life

Yep, 2 is certainly a terrible choice the cops made.

Well, for number one, where do you get the information this man has a history of hiding drugs in his anal cavity, first off? Two, its more then an overdo, it was entirely illegal. They took the man out of jurisdiction after being denied by doctors in their own county, which makes everything they did outside that area illegal. Not only that but by the time they began prepping the colonoscopy the warrant had already been long overdue on its time limit.

These cops literally raped this man. If shoving instruments up his ass and forcing him to defecate over and over and over and over as well as putting him under to then continue this isn't de facto rape, we may as well start throwing dictionaries out the window. In all honesty I believe those involved should be registered as sex offenders for both kidnapping that man and putting him under that kind of treatment. If you actually read the case documents, you'd know they had no reason for stopping him in the first place since no one even witnessed him passing the stop sign he was allegedly running past.

On number two, I can understand the initial reasoning to stopping a man from rushing into a burning building, but tazing a man several times and arresting while he's watching his house burn down on top of his son crosses too many lines to count.

The same source you got yours from

Where do you get this county illegality? He was arrested where they have jurisdiction, that's all that matters. And the cops can do body cavity searches you if they have reason to suspect you have illegal substances on you whether you say yes or not.

Right, because restraining a man to keep him safe is clearly wrong.

Man, it's a shame you got ticketed for doing something that you run the risk of getting a ticket from someone who was doing their job. Gawd what an asshole

Pretty much this. I have to deal with them on an almost daily basis and it's far worse when the street crossing path is only a small walk away and people would rather just risk it all and cross traffic. Sometimes I think people just have death wishes, or they just really are as stupid as they come.

This honestly just gave me a laugh. Did you only read the headline? A few sentences in and it already talks about how the only thing there is about previous drug transportation is from a simple claim by the cops. He has been caught with drugs in the past, that much is known, but there isn't even anything showing he's ever made the attempt to hide it in his anus as the cops assert. The guy has a troubled past, no doubt, but just because you've been caught with drugs doesn't mean cops can just hunt you down and kidnap you to essentially rape for hours on end. Lets see some quotes.

"Eckert’s history with drugs had been revealed by his attorneys, Joseph and Shannon Kennedy, but there was no mention of any previous attempts to transport drugs in his anal cavity. Still, though court records confirm Eckert’s history of drug-related offenses, we found no information confirming police’s claim that he once was caught with drugs in his anal cavity.

“There’s no record, there’s no evidence,” she added. “We did a public records request and investigated that claim thoroughly and found nothing.”

But Kennedy also told TheBlaze that even if the false “rumor” was true, police still went way too far in their effort to find drugs in her client’s body.

“It’s absurd, its outrageous,” she said, adding that a person’s constitutional rights don’t cease to exist because of criminal history."

"Though Eckert has had other legal issues going back to 1999, they involved debt, divorce and other financial issues."

So all you did was look at the headliner, or at the least, read the small clippet of the cop claiming to have caught him with drugs in his ass, despite there being no actual record of it.

These cops obviously wanted to peg the guy, no doubt. He'd been acquitted and so on for a while, so this was no accident what they did to him. They pulled him over for passing a stop sign they admit to not have even witnessed, and then, heres the next quote for what they did. The squeamish, you must look away.

1. Eckert’s abdominal area was X-rayed; no narcotics were found.

2. Doctors then performed an exam of Eckert’s anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.

3. Doctors performed a second exam of Eckert’s anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.

4. Doctors penetrated Eckert’s anus to insert an enema. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.

5. Doctors penetrated Eckert’s anus to insert an enema a second time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.

6. Doctors penetrated Eckert’s anus to insert an enema a third time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.

7. Doctors then X-rayed Eckert again; no narcotics were found.

8. Doctors prepared Eckert for surgery, sedated him, and then performed a colonoscopy where a scope with a camera was inserted into Eckert’s anus, rectum, colon and large intestines. No narcotics were found.

Just the slightest bit of overkill, amirite?

And for the record it is actually illegal to arrest a man in one area with a warrant to then take him out of the jurisdiction of that warrant to do what they want with him outside. Without being under that warrant there are no lawful actions you can take against a man or woman. And in the end they continued doing whatever they wanted to him long after the warrant expired.

You didn't actually read anything outside the headlines. Take it from my experience and keep your words small, because you'll probably have to eat them. If you're not going to take atleast a few minutes of your own time to read into the substance of a matter all you're going to do is make yourself look dumb. I've experienced that myself plenty.

Secondly, the cops tazed this man three times and arrested him. They didn't hold him back, they pinned him to the ground and tazed him several times, handcuffed him, then through him into their wagon. All while he gets to watch his son burn inside his own house, mind you. Again, mind what you say if you intend to challenge something. I took the time to read your article.

Eh, you could be right. I'm just tired of all the bad press cops get. They're like priests. The bad stuff gets in the news, everyday good stuff doesn't.

That's legitimately bad though, You don't taze a man, period, especially when the guy is trying to save a child. You hold him down to prevent him from dying too.

It's heart wrenching though that the baby's life is getting ended so early, and I cry every time I read about infants dying in the news due to bad parents or housefires/car wrecks. The fact that cops decided to use such force is also overkill, unnecessary, and wrong, especially to someone watching their child go up in flames.
