Cops in New Mexico repeatedly sprayed a woman’s vagina with mace after she was arrested for drugs. They allegedly did this to “punish” her.
The woman, Marlene Tapia, was taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center after her arrest. Next, officers stripped her to search for drugs. They made her bend over and then claimed she had a plastic bag containing drugs in her vagina.
Officers should have subsequently had medical staff remove the bag from Tapia — but they did not do this.
Instead, an officer “punished” the woman by spraying her vagina with mace. That officer, Blanca Zapater, allegedly did this several times in a row.
Tapia is being represented by an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Peter Simonson, the Executive Director of New Mexico’s ACLU branch, is disgusted by what happened. He said, “It’s tantamount to torture. It’s just the maliciousness, the wanton disregard, wanton maliciousness that the corrections officer demonstrated. This is the kind of chemical that is intended to be sprayed on other parts of the body, to cause pain, but to spray it on the very most sensitive part of a person’s body only doubles the pain.”
After being sprayed, Tapia suffered from immense pain and severely swollen genitals.
Zapater has been punished. Although her specific punishment is unknown, Zapater remains on staff at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
The ACLU is bringing their lawsuit is to “ensure that these sorts of things don’t happen to another person.”

Great. Just great.
ReplyDeleteHow many more Abner Louimas are we going to need before the public wakes the fuck up?
Wow, Western Civilization really *is* collapsing.
ReplyDeleteIt was built on this same sort of thing, so no tears should be shed. But still, most people had high hopes for it.
Tell me again how the Dark Ages were so bad?
Also, cops are vermin.
Don't insult rats like that.
DeleteCops are ignorant thugs with badges and a chip on their shoulders. I hate 99% of them.
The subhuman sadistic bitch that did this needs to be jailed.
If you put a turban on the cops head and you told public school grads that it happened in Syria then this would be a good casus belli for nuclear bomb attacks.
Deleteto “ensure that these sorts of things don’t happen to another person.”
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, this sort of thing will happen, again, and again, and again. That's how america rolls. Americans love it!
Well, the statist, anyway.
We are ruled by power lusting psychopathic perverts.
ReplyDelete"Zapater has been punished". My guess is that she was put on disciplinary leave, i.e. a nice long paid vacation at the taxpayers expense.
ReplyDeletePeople ask when will people put their foot down and say no to government thug abuse and the answer is that there is no answer. Find a victim of government thug abuse and you can also find a badge licker who will justify it.
ReplyDeleteOvercoming the "what about the police" argument is key to the success of eliminating monopoly government. Most of us have never experienced private security, so we can't imagine what that would be like. If a "rights protection" provider wants to maintain their customer base, do you believe they would allow their customers to experience this?
ReplyDeleteYet another in a long line of PIGS. Sociopaths with badges. This clearly shows that prisons are not privatized in the true sense.
