Chicago, IL — A disturbing video has been released as part of a lawsuit against the LaSalle County Sheriff’s office showing deputies throw an apparently innocent woman to the ground before stripping off all of her clothes. Zandrea Askew, a former sergeant in the Marine Corps says she was “humiliated, degraded and dehumanized” and the video backs her up.
The lawsuit was filed this week in federal court and it alleges false arrest, abuse, and horrifying treatment by deputies. According to the lawsuit, Askew was sitting in her parked car when two LaSalle County sheriff’s deputies stopped and questioned her. During the stop, deputies demanded that Askew undergo field sobriety tests, despite not committing any traffic violations or being involved in an accident.
The lawsuit claims that even though Askew passed the field sobriety tests, deputies arrested her anyway. According to Askey, she showed no signs of being drunk or under the influence of narcotics but was still charged with DUI. The suit accuses LaSalle County Sheriff Thomas Templeton and several deputies of false arrest, unlawful detention, excessive force, malicious prosecution, and violation of due process.
The sheriff’s office claims they found Askew parked in her car “very disoriented and confused.” Instead of asking her if she needed help, like a true public servant should do, they accused her of a crime—one she says she did not commit.
According to Askew, she pulled over her car because she was feeling ill and was on prescription medication at the time.
Police then thoroughly searched Askew before bringing her down to the jail for processing. The lawsuit states that despite being falsely arrested, Askew was cordial and listened to all of the deputies’ commands.
However, as the video shows, once Askew was in a jail cell, she was held down on the ground by deputies as they stripped the clothing from her body.
“Why do you need to take someone’s clothes off if they’re not cooperating with you?” attorney Terry Ekl said. “This was not a strip-search where they were looking for contraband. This was a form of punishment.”
Ekl also backed up Askew’s claims of being thoroughly searched on the road side and noted that there was no legitimate need to strip search her in the jail.
Askew’s attorney explains that the video shows his client was entirely compliant just before the deputies attacked her and began stripping off her clothes.
As CBS Chicago reports, Ekl said he has asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the sheriff’s office regarding strip-searches.
What’s more, according to CBS Chicago, this county has already paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars for similar violations against multiple women.
Five years ago, LaSalle County paid out $355,000 to settle lawsuits filed by five other women who were strip searched. The department also promised better training.
Apparently, as the video below appears to illustrate, these deputies never got that training.
“Throughout her detention at the Jail, Plaintiff was not acting aggressively or engaging in any conduct that would cause an officer to be in reasonable apprehension of receiving bodily harm, or that justified the use of force against her,” the lawsuit states. “The only objective of the officers was to punish, harass, humiliate, degrade, and inflict physical and psychological pain.”
After this horrific treatment, all charges were dropped and Askew was released because deputies had no evidence of a crime.
I hated to post this, it is gripping and horrendous. But it has to be demonstrated what demonry we are dealing with. That some still think we’re free is beyond me. This woman’s ordeal (gang rape) should be enough to close down police stations everywhere. They are NOT to be trusted with our well-being. This one is difficult to come back from.
Gddamnt.
🙁

“That some still think we’re free is beyond me”
You be surprised just how strong that ‘we’re so free’ sentiment IS here. If I post this in Politics or Rants & Raves on Craigslist, the public will flag and remove it within 1/2 hour.
90+% of this country HATES the truth, and just wants to live as if nothing is wrong.
What’s this? What’s all the foo fa rah about?
I thought you people understood how a corporate king treats with his unruly subjects.
This is what it is. Get used to it, because it is not going to stop until we overthrow the corporate king and punish his cohorts in these crimes against humanity.
This is pretty ugly to watch, but at least I wasn’t a little kid in Yemen just trying to walk down the street catching a chunk of phosphorus in my leg from a ‘Made in the USA’, against international law, phosphorous bomb.
Hell, we still got it easy here, don’t we?
I guess it is going to come down to what each individual is going to stand for. To even question the fact that we are under a corporate monarchy operating a totalitarian dictatorship here on our people is laughable.
Land of the free, home of the what?
By the way, I vehemently disagree with your 90+% of the country hates the truth.
To start with, 90% of the 75% who are not playing the voting game are working five and six days a week, eight to fourteen hours a day to keep a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. The ones I’ve talked to are frying ass pissed about the situation and though they do not have the time to research the problem on social media, they are ready to kill somebody as soon as it is made clear who is responsible.
So who is on this Politics or Rants & Raves on Craigslist?
You see this United States Corporation, you know, the ruling aristocracy, turned our internet over to the communist Chinese, and right now there is a room full of Winston Chows, reading everything that comes into these sites and taking all objectionable material off with a single push of the button.
This is the 21st century, nothing you see is real except the truth quite simply because it accurately describes the reality you are experiencing.
Make no mistake, the people have had it. This was a gigantic scam run by a one world organization with scores of think tanks working in coalition with one another to find every weakness that might allow a lie to seep in. But there comes a point when you just look plain stupid if you can’t see the reality around you through your own eyes.
I believe we’ve got 40 million of us that are ready to say ‘f-k it’. That is a whole lot of f-king guns. No doubt it is coming straight at us and we are going to take some hits in the beginning, but when our people unleash, again I say it, we will redefine man’s inhumanity to man and we will be absolutely in the right in doing so.
I’m so pissed
I can’t type what I feel inside
As a son a husband , a father , a grand father and a brother to all the women in my life
I can’t say what my agenda would be ( because there might come a day and you don’t tip your hat to the enemy), if I was faced with the job her men should be gearing up for right now!
100 heads is no joke to me
DAMN SKIPPY BROTHER…………….
Men, you’ve got my permission to cold cock every one of these bull dykes.
G-D Illinois; Pretty much says it all
Had enough yet? How many of these videos have we seen over the years … since after 9/11 …. We are in Hell.
America…. Yet, everyday, it continues to degrade even more. Tyranny!
No Bill of Rights and No Common Law…
@40 seconds I had to stop. My blood pressure was escalating, too much.
I’ve no words. Got some bullets instead 😉
Got my blood pressure racing, too. Gave me anxiety tbh. Worst part is, THIS is what she actually “fought” for, not any of the romantic glorified BS they brainwashed her and her fellow zionist mercenaries into believing.
‘…false arrest, unlawful detention, excessive force, malicious prosecution, and violation of due process.’
Welkom to the USSA.
NOW….if I post this on Craigslist ‘politics’ or ‘Rants & Raves’, the public will flag and remove this within 30 minutes.
I WOULDNT LET THIS SHIT PASS LONG ENOUGH TO WASH MY CLOTHES BEFORE THE KILLING STARTED. WHERES HER DADDY?
