Jessica, With rgard to those two women who were arrested and strip-searched, you have to ask yourself why they were the only ones who got arrested. I know nothing about the case, but I would be extremely surprised if thye got arrested for no reason. Theyw ere probably doing something that they weren't supposed to be doing. If the police were arresting people for no other reason than protesting legally, then I think there would have been far more arrests.
These are some of things you should be asking yourself. When some author with an agenda tells you astory like this without providing any details, you would ahve to be crazy to believe it at face value. You have to be cynical when someone with an agenda is only telling you one side of a story.
By the way, let's pretend that these women were doing nothing wrong. In that case, then you have wrongdoing by the local police officers that arrested them. That has nothing to do with President Bush or his administration. Do you think they called President Bush and he told them to arrest those two women?
By the way, I think it is pretty far-fetched that these women did nothing wrong. I don't know the facts of the case, so I can't say for sure. But if I was betting man, I would bet that they did something to get themselves arrested.
By the way, you were talking about some cases where charges were thrown out. That doesn't prove anything. There have been hundreds of cases. Let me correct myself. There have been tens of thousand of cases over the years where charges were dismissed against people that were gulity. If the district attoreny doesn't think that he can prove his case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt, he will drop the charges, even if he is sure that the person is guilty. This happens all the time.
Speaking of cases like that, I know of a very sad case involving someone we are all familiar with. Corey Nakatani's sister was murdered. Everyone knew who did it. The guy had threatened her on numerous occasions. She feared for her life. When she was murdered, everyone knew who did it. The police knew who did it, yet the guy was never charged. They simply did not have enough evidence to charge him.
