Like 9/11 angry. Gotta breath deep a few times.

How about the black woman who was raped in public by cops in Texas?

A Texas women says police held her down in a gas station parking lot, pulled off her pants and subjected her to an illegal and humiliating body cavity search in plain view of passing pedestrians and motorists.

Charnesia Corley, 21, said she was running an errand for her sick mother when a male Harris County sheriff’s deputy pulled her over near a Texaco station on June 21 and accused her of running a stop sign. The deputy said he smelled marijuana coming from the car, which in Texas is probable cause to search a vehicle.

After a fruitless look inside the car, the lawman summoned a female deputy and events spiraled out of control, Corley said.

“They sexually assaulted, raped me and molested me,” Corley told The Huffington Post on Monday.

I mean, I’m not trying to minimize what ISIS is doing or saying you shouldn’t be upset by this, but it isn’t exactly surprising either given their monstrous reputation. I guess I’m just more outraged by the near constant drumbeat of cops in this country abusing black women under the color of our own laws, and getting away with it. Because that’s something we nominally have control over, and should be able to end immediately without having to form a military coalition, yet for some reason we continue to tolerate it.
