Pregnant Kentucky woman cited for street camping while in labor
Pregnant Kentucky woman cited for street camping while in labor
She told a police officer she was in labor. The Louisville Metro Police Department lieutenant cited her for unlawful camping as the ambulance arrived. She had a baby later that day.
Lt. Caleb Stewart is an absolute piece of microwaved dog shit.
He has issued the majority of the citations for unlawful camping in Louisville.
...
Once in the police vehicle, Stewart narrated to *himself as his body camera recorded his comments. “So I don’t for a second believe that this woman is going into labor,” he said.
...
In his police report, Stewart did not reference the pregnancy or her immediate departure in an ambulance. He simply wrote: “Ofc. observed listed subject camping underneath the interstate bridge at listed location by utilizing camping paraphernalia (mattress, blanket, pillow as bedding).
...
In January, Stewart received a commendation from the department for responding to “issues related to the houseless population” with “compassion and professionalism toward everyone.” As the Courier Journal first reported, Stewart is facing a 20-day unpaid suspension for helping to cover up a subordinate's use of force against a man likely experiencing homelessness last year — a suspension he is now appealing.
...
In the body camera footage, as Stewart drove away from the scene, he narrates the encounter, justifying his choice to cite her to himself. He says that, if he had let her go without citing her, it would “set the precedent” that people could claim a medical emergency to get out of a ticket. “As much as, like the casual observer who, you know, believes everything that lady said, would think that it maybe wasn't the most appropriate way to handle it, I'm very confident that was the appropriate way to handle it,” Stewart says, “with the exception of perhaps that maybe I yelled at her a little too quickly when she was in the street.”
This man must just hate people without a house to live in. How the hell can he look at himself in the mirror? How can his family be okay with him screwing over people who are already down? Just wow... this is America.
How the hell can he look at himself in the mirror?
I can answer that.
Some decades ago, before all the PC censorship on the Internet, there were sites teaching young men what to do in the morning... among which, was always stuff like:
- Look yourself in the mirror, repeat 5 times the pledge: "I am a worthy member of the superior race. I will spend this day ensuring my worthiness. I and my brothers will proudly seize this day to train our bodies and mind."
How can he look in the mirror?... Proudly.
PS: Nazis can fuck off.
I'm pretty sure you're writing this to lambast that kind of thing, but I think the reply to you and some other people might think you're supporting it. I imagine your last line is poking fun at proud boys, but it might come across to some as you legitimately believing it. Please let me know if that's the case, but otherwise it might be worthwhile to note in your comment that you don't actually support that rhetoric, and that you're just providing context.
