GOPDD: This Muslim Woman Was Arrested By Police. Now She’s Suing. The Reason Will Outrage You.

May 4, 2016 by Clyde

On Monday, a Muslim woman filed a lawsuit in California claiming that the police had discriminated against her as a Muslim. What could these Islamophobic cops have done to warrant getting sued? They apparently removed her hijab after she was taken into custody. Removing a detained suspect’s hat, scarf, or helmet is routine procedure.
Kirsty Powell, an African-American woman and apparent Muslim convert, filed the suit against the city of Long Beach and its police department for causing “extreme shame, humiliation, mental anguish and emotional distress.”
