Think the International Court should step in on this one and try this scumbag cop at the Hague!
Worse than Waterboarding - Forced to Listen to Drugbo!
Texas woman sues PD for forcing her to listen to Rush Limbaugh
Talk about your Monday from hell. Not only did Bridgett Nickerson Boyd’s car break down on her way to work, but when she pulled over to the side of the freeway, a sheriff’s deputy named Mark Goad pulled behind her, wrote her a ticket for driving on the shoulder, decided to arrest her, followed her to the hospital when her suddenly racing heart prompted a call to paramedics, then took her into custody again after she was treated by doctors and finally drove her to jail.
To make matters worse, Boyd claims in a lawsuit that the handcuffs were put on her wrists painfully tight – she claims she explained to the officer she had just had surgery on her hand – and that she was forced to listen to Rush Limbaugh “make derogatory comments about black people” all the way to the jail. Boyd is African-American.
Because of the incident, which occurred on Oct. 4, 2010, Boyd filed a federal lawsuit Monday against Goad and Harris County alleging defamation, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
”Deputy Goad was aware that Boyd had not committed a crime and her arrest was without probable cause,” according to the lawsuit filed in Houston.
The magistrate who saw her while jailed apparently agreed and dismissed all charges.
A spokesman for Sheriff Adrian Garcia declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Boyd’s attorney, Troy Pradia, said she had never been in legal trouble and thought the deputy had pulled up behind her car to help her. She had moved to the shoulder along Beltway 8 near U.S. 288 after her engine started smoking.
Pradia added that he and Boyd, who works in a bank, had hoped the matter would be settled by the sheriff’s department after she filed a complaint about Goad’s actions.
”They finally said the complaint was not sustained, meaning that it was not disproved but that nothing was proved to have happened,” Pradia said. “I don’t know why. We’re not privy to that.”
Pradia said that Boyd had signed the ticket and pointed as much out to the deputy, but that he chose to arrest her regardless.
”The taxpayers pay money for crime prevention,” Pradia said. “I don’t think she was committing any crime.”

No doubt the dildo–oops–dittoheads are defending the cop and their Savior…St. Rush…
Stuff like this must be followed. Middle Age – Parochialism, very dangerous now, and I mean that with all my heart. Even if it plays out on the Afro-American side too, the police must be watched during these times of decline.
The police – always have to be policed, Nana.
