sometimes the cops are so egregious that no one could make up their crimes, and this certainly is one of those;
Freemont County, CO — Imagine making a flippant comment to an individual and then having your world become a living nightmare as a result. One would think, in a free society, the things we say couldn’t possibly turn into a rights-violating and utterly torturous encounter with police but that is precisely what happened to Carolyn O’Neal of Fremont County, Colorado.
The Canyon City Police of the Fremont County Sheriffs Department got a call from O’Neal’s substance abuse and recovery center (where she was living in a residential setting) who said O’Neal was suicidal. O’Neal’s mother was dying of terminal cancer and she was so distraught she made a careless comment about driving her car off of a cliff and just end it all. That is it.
The mother, who was in her late 50’s, had already survived substance abuse issues, was working and making a living, yet the news of her mother’s illness was just apparently too much to handle. As a result of her facility’s 911 call for a wellness check, the Canyon City Police responded to O’Neal’s residence.
Without a warrant the Canyon City PD entered O’Neal’s home, found her completely naked, threw her down on her bed (which according to her lawyer triggered flashbacks to a lifetime of abuse), and arrested her without even allowing her to dress herself first........read and watch more.....
