The Police Brutality Thread

We should wait judgement. Maybe there are extenuating circumstances.

Actually, there probably are.
Body packing is a well-known phenomenon in emergency medicine, particularly if the packets burst, releasing contents into the packer's system, along with the drug's physiologic effects. This whole incident occurred in southern NM.

Story--my first trauma patient in residency. Gun shot wound to the leg. I perform a rectal exam, part of a routine trauma exam. Something feels a little crunchy--not all that unusual on rectal exams (yeah, what you're thinking)--but this is a little extra chunky, so I dig a little deeper and pull out this condom with little white rocks in it. I'm this naive kid from Utah and have no idea what this is, until the cop notices and starts laughing. Yup, crack in his crack.

A CT scan with oral contrast would have answered the question pretty reliably, I would think.

Yup (although I don't even think you'd need the oral contrast). The colonoscopy seems unnecessary. I wonder if they were hoping to flush out the contents with the prep.

For the record, parts of this post are not funny at all and never can be. You know what I am talking about.

I'm curious from the lawyers on the board: How much would you be asking for in damages, if this was your client? My (non-legal) answer is, A LOT.

I am not a lawyer in real life but play one on the internet... I am guessing that he will ask for a buttload of money in damages.

The dude who was probed was also sent a bill for $6k. Wow, that is messed up.

This wasn't even the first offense for the police department, and the same canine. What kind of damages can you sue a dog for?

How many cops does it take to walk a 47 year old woman to the Utah Valley University Police Office?? At least 5 from what I could see... Sheesh... That dude really allowed that to escalate. They know where she worked. They could have came back. Talk about power trip...
