Because just referring to it as sexual assault, might portray that these cops where gay, and we can't have none of that.

I mean, it's sexual assault obviously, but in this case, "using a sex toy on them" provides a bit more context than just generically labeling it as "sexual assault". Sexual assault could be many different things.

The article also goes on to describe that they put the sex toys in the men's mouth. I think the "used a sex toy on them" is just more descriptive in this situation, because if they used "sexual assault", people would not be able to decipher what these POS officers actually did.

I do agree that the media can be terrible about minimizing sexual assault on men, but in this case I think the headline is more descriptive. Also , fuck these racist rapist cops.

Insane. Fucking disgusting.

They didn’t include it in the article, but this fuckin “good squad” was called to the place because “two black men were staying with a white woman.” Thats was the call.

Who the fuck made that call? They obviously knew this type of outcome was likely, because that’s not fucking illegal. No one makes that call without knowing these types of fucking scum would be responding. So where the fuck is that indictment.

I heard an NPR piece on it last week, and that was more than enough for me. When are we going to start holding law enforcement to a higher standard than everyone else? Instead of qualified immunity, we should start saying that an officer found guilty of a crime gets double the punishment of a regular citizen. Yes, that means fewer people will want the job - I'm okay with that.

jfc. I hope they go to prison for the maximum. That shit was hard to read.

After reading it I feel the rape part is by far not the worst part of what they did. How long were these fucking criminals getting away with this shit. If he hadn't shot him (reads like he meant for it to not fire the second time he pulled the trigger with his gun in his mouth) then we wouldn't even know about this and they would still be out there posing as police officers

The article doesn't even mention that the shooting happened during a forced game of Russian roulette.

I'm white and I was punched by a cop in front of my house last year that then denounced me of hitting him, falsified a medical report, forced a courier to testify against me and of course has his partner who confirms everything he says. No matter the fact that I recorded with my phone him saying that he hit me (in self defense he says but in the report he wrote there's no mention of a self defense), asking if I had cameras (if not he could tell whatever he wanted), that he pushed me the prosecutor is accepting his version. So fuck the police. I'm disabled by the way.

Not to twist the knife, but looking at all the cases that have relied on bodycams or bystander phone cams - almost always coupled with a police report that the video proved later to be a lie - makes me shudder to imagine what was going on every single decade before cops had to always worry about likely being on someone's camera.

I have my concerns about what the increasing proliferation of cell phone cameras, private security cameras, and doorbell cams mean for general privacy, but no doubt this behavior is only going to get harder and harder for cops.

We'll know we've crossed a turning point when most of the time the video doesn't prove the initial police statement was a lie. Don't think we're there yet, but we'll get there. And frankly it's become clear that police aren't going to change their behavior without being caught a lot more, so at this point I say bring on the cams.

Im sure most communities would be a lot safer without any police

White supremacist gang shit.

If I saw it in a movie I wouldn’t be able to suspend my disbelief.

"what's coming to them in prison" is just another indictment of our broken society.

Yes, it's wrong. It's understandable to want retribution, but it doesn't help improve the situation. We need to be better than that, even when our gut reaction is, "to hope these goon fucks get what's coming to them in prison?"

"Prison was fine, I didn't mind prison. Except for the anal rape part. Yah, that part I didn't enjoy much, that anal rape thing."

considering the prison system creates more crime, yes it's wrong

This is revolting.

Also, his life was heartbreaking too.

He had been trained as an electrical engineer in Haiti, but in New York, Louima was unable to get a position related to his education. He worked as a security guard in a water and sewage plant in the Flatlands area of Brooklyn."
