The teen girl without a permanent home who was forced to don jail garb, wear handcuffs and ask for mercy after falling asleep in a courtroom is suing the Detroit judge who had her taken into custody.
Eva Goodman, 15, and her mother filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan against 36th District Judge Kenneth King. They allege he violated the teen’s civil rights, arguing King acted outside the scope of his judicial authority when he detained her, yelled at her and threatened her with jail time.
Those officers should be fired, too. I do security for a living, and I would 100% have not detained her.
You’re held to a higher standard than most cops, I assure you.
So are pizza delivery drivers. And dog groomers. And cashier’s. And…
You do security, you’re not a cop. Totally different mindset, don’t compare yourself to pigs.
In a good way.
