Zandrea Askew is suing the Illinois thugs that tied her and stripped her in a jail cell, then left her there naked for 12 hours.

She says the charges were false and unjustified, too. I am inclined to believe her word rather than thugs' word.

It would be wrong to treat anyone this way. The fact that she is a black woman is pertinent to mention, because those characteristics may be part of why thugs did this to her. That she is an ex-marine is not relevant; to mention it suggests that non-veterans are less important.
