Rodney King or Abu Ghraib is the better analogy. But this is its own new standard of horror.

This just has to become as big a scandal as those two - bigger, since they were ultimately swept under the rug.

The participants need to do jail time. Including the women. And all their superiors, all the way up the line. There is no way in hell that any "policy" of "protecting" someone from doing themselves harm rationalizes any of this. It was just people enjoying getting away with pulling the wings off of flies. If there WERE legitimate concerns, all they had to do was sit her in a chair, restrain her, and call in specially-trained people to deal with any suspected problem. Seven cops brutalizing her is just that - seven cops participating in assault. There is NO possible rationalization for this. None. Nada.
