When I was growing up, police in America generally treated women with gentleness and respect. It was generally understood that women were not to be thrown around or mistreated by police unless they were being openly violent. But in most areas of the United States those days are long gone. Sadly, many police officers seem to make it a point to be especially mean and degrading to women. All over the country women are being openly abused and humiliated by police. In America today, women are being yanked around by their hair by police, women are being pepper sprayed directly in the face by police, and women are being brutally strip-searched in front of leering male police officers. This is not how a civilized nation should be treating women and there is no excuse for treating women like dogs. The incidents that you are about to read about are absolutely shocking. They reveal just how far America has fallen. If police will treat non-violent women like dogs, then what will they do when the time comes to arrest you? That is something to think about.
What police are doing to peaceful female protesters in some areas of the country is absolutely horrific.
How would you respond if you learned that your female family members were strip-searched in front of leering male police officers?
Is there any excuse for spraying pepper spray directly into the face of a woman that is being completely non-violent?
Perhaps even more disturbing are the police officers that have been yanking women around by their hair.
