Brooklyn Woman ‘Traumatized’ After NYPD’s Arrest Left Her Nearly Naked

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/08/02/brooklyn-woman-traumatized-after-nypds-arrest-left-her-naked/

A new video released Saturday could potentially bring more trouble for the New York City Police Department, CBS 2’s Dick Brennan reported.
The video reportedly shows a confrontation between a Brooklyn mother of four and police officers.
As WCBS 80’s Jim Smith reported, the video was taken four days before Staten Island man Eric Garner died of an alleged police chokehold.
Police said they were following up on a 911 call of a domestic argument in the building but had no specific apartment number. CBS 2 reported that they heard a commotion coming from Stewart’s apartment and wanted to investigate.
Police said they acted because they were not allowed inside the apartment to properly investigate and thought it was suspicious.
Once inside the apartment, police said a 12-year-old girl had visible injuries on her face and told officers she had been assaulted by her older sister and mother.
Police said when they tried to arrest Stewart, two other family members tried to stop them. Police also said Stewart bit one of the officers.
Witnesses captured the video, where Denise Stewart can be seen topless, wearing only her underwear and sitting in an open hallway surrounded by police, Brennan reported.
Stewart, 48, was handcuffed and lost a towel that covered her, leaving her topless for more than two minutes. The video shows Stewart falling to the ground before being covered.
A neighbor is heard on the video telling police Stewart has serious breathing problems, CBS 2’s Dave Carlin reported.
Stewart told the Daily News she did nothing wrong and was embarrassed to be naked.
Now, Stewart’s family is speaking out.
“She’s still feeling a little traumatized about everything that happened because what they did to her was wrong,” Stewart’s son Magic Stewart told CBS 2.
As WCBS 880’s reported, Stewart and the 12-year-old were both arrested on charges of assaulting an officer; two of Stewart’s grown children were also charged with resisting arrest.
“The way I feel is my whole family is traumatized. The babies were crying, it’s messed up,” Magic Stewart said.
Former NYPD detective and expert on police training, Joe Giacolone, looked at the video for CBS 2. He said police had to do something because they suspected a possible violent emergency was taking place behind the closed door.
“Apparently they heard screams coming from the apartment,” Giacolone said. “Under exception to the Fourth Amendment, police can enter your home to make sure everyone is safe.”
Stewart’s lawyer Amy Rameau told WCBS 880 her client is mortified.
“She’s not well. Whenever she talks about the account, she cries,” Rameau said. “She did absolutely nothing wrong.”
On Saturday evening, Rameau released a statement that reads:
“Ms. Stewart is a respected member of her community and she committed absolutely no crime. These officers conducted themselves in a deplorable manner. They pepper sprayed her four year old grandson and a male officer punched her twelve year old daughter, the same twelve year old they claim they were there to protect.
What these officers did exemplifies not only a disrespect for women in general but a disrespect for women of color in particular because of a general disrespect for communities of color. The recent murder of Mr. Eric Garner is but an example of the same disrespect for communities of color. There has to be some remedy for this kind of police misconduct. These officers are discriminating against communities of color and they are doing it under color of law.”
“These officers conducted themselves in an absolutely deplorable manner,” Rameau told WCBS 880.
The incident is being investigated by Internal Affairs.

Abolish the NYPD.

Make police misconduct cases punishable by death.

Do not allow other cops to testify or serve on juries in which cops are being tried for police misconduct (We all know by now that they stand up for each other.)

Ignore any appeals to SCOTUS WRT the penalty. Once they are convicted, have them executed within 48 hours.

And again, this is the most important part of all. ​Abolish the NYPD.

Good thing these lice attacks only involve girls and coloreds. I was worried there for a minute.

“Under exception to the Fourth Amendment, police can enter your home to make sure everyone is safe.”

This is maritime doctrine and has been for decades now, you have NO 4th Amendment rights on a vessel, you can be boarded and searched anytime, for "safety" reasons.

Now it is being applied shoreside.

There are a million "exceptions" to the 4th Amendment, so that, for all intents and purposes, it does not exist.

The government's judges have ruled that the government's police are acting within the confines of the government's constitution, to carry out the government's mandates.

From the "Civilian (Copsucker) Review Board" report:



§ 22:217. Exigent circumstances

When officers are faced with circumstances amounting to an emergency which make seeking and obtaining warrant unfeasible, a search may be made without a warrant.

Such a situation exists—

•where there is a danger of damage and possible loss or destruction of desired evidence.

•where there is a likelihood of a defendant's escape before a warrant can be obtained.

•where officers have a justifiable belief that a felony is being committed.

•in the case of a vehicle, where there is probable cause to search for contraband goods and it is not practicable to secure a warrant because the vehicle can be quickly moved out of the locality or jurisdiction in which the warrant must be sought or if the warrant could be obtained only by detaining the vehicle for some period.

•when officers are reacting to an immediate life-threatening emergency.

•where there is danger of physical harm to officers or other persons.

•when a suspect is on the move and police are in hot pursuit.

•when officers stop a person on the street while investigating suspicious circumstances, to "stop and frisk" him with reason to believe he is an armed and dangerous individual and for the protection of the officer and others nearby.

•when a search uncovers a dangerous object such as a quantity of explosives.

•when necessary to avoid some other consequence improperly frustrating legitimate law-enforcement efforts.


Careful reading of the above, indicates that there is no such thing as a 4th Amendment anymore.

Isnt that what the American Flag with Gold Fringe represents? Admiralty or Maratime Law in seaside Courts?
