there has to be a "how many cops/enemas does it take" joke in here somewhere, a la the lightbulb joke.


but seriously, how could no one, at any point, stop and say "hey you know what, this is probably wrong. We are bad and we should feel bad."

You'd think that at the very least, by the second time you're standing around, waiting for a grown man to take a dump, just so you can visually inspect it, there would be some kind of moment of clarity. Some kind of internal moment where you think back to all those episodes of C.H.I.P.S. and TJ Hooker that you watched as a kid, that made you want to be a cop in the first place... All those pushups in the academy... All of those hours studying... The pride on your dad's face when he saw you in your dress blues at graduation... If only dear old dad could see you now, crouched down in the sickly fluorescent light of an Emergency Room, staring at some dude's anus, waiting for something to come out, and praying that this time it will be a balloon, so that maybe, just maybe, you can go to sleep that night and convince yourself that the last few hours had been done in the name of justice...

That was beautiful.

Just wait until he gets his hospital bill.

All those procedures and a colonoscopy can't be cheap.

I feel like I specialize in "anus" soliloquies. If I had a nickel for every draft of our wedding vows that Angie rejected...

They just wouldn't give up because they didn't want to be wrong. And they ended up doing way more wrong.

Fire them of course, it seems to me they should also be charged with assault for this kind of excessive probing.

That was kind of my thoughts too. If at first you don't find anything just keep going deeper, it has to be there right???

I think I would have to ask, after my first movement, just how would I manage to get the drugs above the load?

Mule Rule #1: You swallow the balloon, you don't cram it. The whole marshmallow and mail slot analogy applies.

I just can't believe, with all the steps and multiple procedures, at some point someone didn't say hey, let's take a step back here. "Let's just keep going."

There has to be more to this story. Like they were following this known drug dealer for weeks, they thought they saw him pick up a drop and then he 'ran a stop sign'. Obviously, it still doesn't excuse anything that happened after that but ...

Why does there have to be more? Is it that unthinkable for the Police to go this far out of bounds?

Because if there isn't then I may never leave my basement again.

Ok, that's a valid point. One would hope that it would take more than clenched buttcheeks to get most policemen to go this far off the deep end.

Yeah it's tough to be devil's advocate on this one. There might be some undisclosed facts that reasonably explain their actions at the traffic stop, but I can't invent any explanation that passes the laugh test after they get to the medical center.
