Again, this is no surprise to me, I used to live in Marion county FL and Citrus County bordered Marion County. All of central Florida is a totalitarian police state with Marion, Lake, Orange, and Citrus counties being the worst. These Tyranny Enforcement Officers should just plain and simple have their a$$es beat for doing this, and if it was my wife that they did this to I can guarantee you it would mean all out war. Sure I would eventually be on the losing end of it but at least I would know that I went down fighting and standing for something. That may sound crazy to some of you but we are truly on the verge of a complete totalitarian regime where the Bill of Rights means nothing and until we start standing for what we believe in we are screwed. Like I say all the time, The only thing I'm afraid of is a cage, and that's what we are almost to the point of being in America. A giant cage and we are at the mercy of our cage keepers, or government and para military police state._

I do not condone violence at all, however there aretimes when it is needed and this is a textbook scenario of just such a time. I am also not trying to incite violence, but there comes a time when people have to not only say "ENOUGH" but show that they will no longer tolerate being abused at the hands of those whom are sworn to serve them. Our founding fathers tolerated massive abuse at the hands of the Kings government until it became so heinous that they had to make a stand, that is where we presently find ourselves.

It wouldn't be so bad if when situations such as this arrive, the tyrants that commit these acts where actually punished for their actions, but as we all know it never happens. They are protected by implied immunity and sovereign immunity laws, not to mention the fact that the IA investigators work for the same department as those being investigated. In short, it is all a sham designed to protect each other and create a scenario where they can do anything they want, up to and including murder and get away with it.

It is time that "We The People" take back our society and country from the tyrants that have infiltrated and perverted our government, if not we are all doomed.

Personally I think every officer involved in this should be charged with criminal charges. The female TEO that pulled the tampon should get charged with sexual assault and the others as accessories. They had no probable cause to support their search for drugs, they didn't even have a drug dog on scene. The USSC has ruled that for an officer to perform a search during a trafficking stop they have to have some evidence establishing probable cause, the court went on to say that an officers hunch or suspicions is not suffecient. Therefore these officers broke the rules of criminal procedure and they should be prosecuted, sadly it will never happen. Instead they'll get a nice paid vacation, at the expense of the taxpayers while they are "investigated", then they will be back on the streets to inflict more havoc and tyranny.

All I can say is, God damn America! Home of the free my ass!

Bet it stunk.

Oh BTW, just saying.

yes..

sue the state out of all the $$$$ they have..

get the mayor and the gov OUT along with the Police Chief.. and ALL his cronies..

re-establish a REAL government ~!!!

and that's how you do that~!

Reading stories like these makes me think it is no wonder why a lot of people hate cops and try to kill them.

Such a terrible twist in this story. Sad.

something smells fishy about this whole story to me
think I'm just gonna put a cork in it and move along

Yet again the majority of people who have posted in this thread have jumped on the bandwagon instead of waiting for additional information. Has this been covered by a major news outlet? Don't forget, these days people are so quick to sue that they will make almost anything up in order to get the support of those that hate the police. I'm sorry but until further information is put forward I find it hard to believe that this lady had her tampon pulled out on the side of the road. We have not yet got a balanced argument either, we have one side of the story which gullible people are taking as absolute fact.

And the police union will insist that this is nothing more than a good cop having a bad day and go to great lengths to insure that all those involved never lose employment

It is not the cops I hate nearly as much as their union
same with teachers
and auto workers
and...........

Union should mean you have the highest caliber people performing the task given them
It should mean if you are not the cream of the crop...you are either unemployed or not working in a union shop
People should strive to get into a union because it means they too are the best there is at what they do, that their work ethics are second to none.
Instead we get story after story of unions being slimier than the people they defend so diligently
and they wonder why the people are turning against them, why businesses do not want them anywhere near them.
I pray for the day they are completely out of schools and police forces, when a citizen can demand the dismissal of a public employee and get satisfaction.
It is pretty sad when the people who pay the wages have no say about who they will pay them to.

Everybody just relax. The officer had no choice but to commandeer the tampon to plug the oil leak in the police cruiser.

All joking aside, this really does anger me. Police are repugnant these days, and unfortunately there's not a goddamn thing anybody can do to stop it.

I understand your POV, but sadly I know too many police to dismiss this as not likely to be true, I have listened to too many stories and seen the gleam in their eyes as they recount how they violated their sworn oath to the people.
Too many times have I seen the police declare themselves above the law, and their unions reaffirm that belief.
The cops are on our side, when it means the citizen showers them with praise and they proudly declare, Just doing my job mam
Then five minutes later they are abusing a guy who they caught J-walking
