Disabled woman beaten bloody by TSA agents after becoming confused and afraid at security checkpoint

A disabled woman was beaten bloody by federal agents during an airport security screening while on her way to undergo treatment for a brain tumor.

Hannah Cohen set off the metal detector at a security checkpoint at the Memphis International Airport, and she was led away for additional screening, reported WREG-TV.

“They wanted to do further scanning, (but) she was reluctant — she didn’t understand what they were about to do,” said her mother, Shirley Cohen.

Cohen said she tried to tell agents with the Transportation Security Administration that her 19-year-old daughter is partially deaf, blind in one eye, paralyzed and easily confused — but she said police kept her away from the security agents.

The confused and terrified young woman tried to run away, her mother said, and agents violently took her to the ground.

“She’s trying to get away from them, but in the next instant, one of them had her down on the ground and hit her head on the floor,” Cohen said. “There was blood everywhere.”

The young woman, who was returning home after finishing treatment for the brain tumor at St. Jude Hospital, was arrested and booked into jail.

Authorities eventually threw out the charges against Hannah Cohen, but her family has filed a lawsuit against Memphis police, airport police and the TSA.

Neither police department commented on the suit, but a spokesperson for the TSA said passengers should notify agents ahead of time if they have special needs.

“Passengers can call ahead of time to learn more about the screening process for their particular needs or medical situation,” said TSA spokesperson Sari Koshetz.

Me too! I’m sure it was a bunch of black TSA agents who have no concept on how to deal with the public. The TSA is a jobs program for black America! Nothing like a “gubment” with full benefits! Yes, let’s see THAT video!

The government will take absolutely no chances when the safety of Americans is at stake.

Or something like that.

If the girl has a father, or uncles or brothers, or even male cousins, the assholes who did this should have to “eat their spuds a’runnin” until the relatives catch up with them. All it would take to stop this kind of shit is a few revenge beatings of the assholes who assault innocent people like the girl.

I’m old, and crippled up pretty much by a car wreck, but if this shit happened to my daughter, a niece or any woman in my family, somebody would fuckin pay with their teeth and a few square feet of their hide. If I had to do it alone, which I wouldn’t, the same thing applies.

My father taught me a great lesson, by watching him.

We were going down a highway at around 70 mph, when a woman became confused by the colors of the light she just ran and blocked the road. My dad slammed the brakes, standing the Ford on its nose. He opened his door and stood on one foot out of the car. He asked her very calmly, “Lady are you alright?” She started calling him every name in the book, screaming her lungs out. He said in an equally calm voice “Lady, save that crap for your husband.” She said “For my husband? Why would I do that?” He calmly said “Because he won’t beat the shit out of you like I will.” She immediately snapped out of it and drove away.

The vapors overcome them once in awhile, which is another reason NOT to vote for Hillary.

Heroes, every one. That lady made their day. If there’s one thing any copfuk loves it’s arresting a White person, because no SJW group gives a shit about them. It’s an added bonus if they get to beat them and/or torture them beforehand.

The Heroes beat and arrested a disabled woman, but did so with the full blessings of their commanders. I’m sure there will be plenty of promotions and decorations for them all.

If there is any justice in the universe, GOD will kill those perps. Notice that all but one TSA agent in the video is a nigger. Maybe they instituted a TSA version of the KnockOut game?

The options are limited. Protests? Million man march? Letters to your congressman? What good does any of that shit do? They just ignore us.

One thing that might work … hit them in the wallet. DON’T FLY …. unless absolutely positively necessary (i.e., your job requires it).

See the banner on the screen shot?

“security scuffle”

A “scuffle”??? What the fuck do you call a beat down then? A gentle restraint?
Americans. You and your country are WAY out of control. These types of blatant abuse of power over citizens lives, are something you see in old documentary movies. Showing how the NAZI’S and their Gestapo/SS beat down any sign of resistance, in Germany during the 1930’s.

See how the modern American Nazi’s in charge of your “security” justify their actions?
It was her fault she hit her head on the cement floor, because she didn’t call ahead and make arrangements for “special” security treatment! Looks like the fascist agents gave her the “special treatment” anyway! Come to think of it, that was the description the Nazi’s used to describe their “final solution” when dealing with anyone they wanted to disappear – “special treatment”.

Can you hear the gas ovens being lit? Won’t be long now. That’s the next step. FEMA camps.

You took the words right outta my mouth….. I wouldn’t fly into or out of your country for all the tea in china…. even land crossing into your country can be a test of not looking timid or god for bid suspicious or scared.

What are you so afraid of? The boogie man in dark clothes riding the horse of the devil?

Trump or Clinton?? <<<< The horse of death soon be cometh. Build your wall and live in fear of all neighbours and report them for jay walking so the NSA can face stomp them.

I stopped flying years ago, unless it is a death in the family. If that shit happened in front of me, I’m afraid I would end up going to prison. I’m not sure I could stop myself from protecting a defenseless person. So I won’t put myself in that position, I simply won’t fly. I can’t change the world, I can’t stop the TSA from feeling up 80 yo ladies or 6 yo kids or from beating a disabled young woman bloody. The Orlando shooter was on record threatening cops but he wasn’t beat up at the airport (I’m sure if you checked you would see he flew lots of times after his FBI interviews). The Boston bombers flew all over the world after Putin turned them in. No problem. When I’m invited to attend family events, I make up stories on why I can’t make it. They just can’t accept the real reason I won’t fly. My work doesn’t require it so I don’t. Period. I’m sure the TSA is quite happy with my decision.

This sort of shit makes me so angry that I am nearly at a loss for words-a very unusual situation for me. I also gave up flying because of this crap. I am afraid that until the sheep rise up and refuse to take this it will continue. Unfortunately I don’t see near a large enough percentage of the populace with balls enough to even open their mouths in protest let alone to actually, physically do something to end this. Maybe we are so far gone that nothing can end this abuse by the so-called authorities. Sad beyond words.

Those minimal IQ goons in the TSA and in police forces around the country are the very same goons that will be enforcing martial law in the very near future if things don’t somehow change real quick.

TPTB will use mercenary companies to eliminate real threats and use local police to contain any rioting by the masses. I envisage a veritable army of black thugs recruited to terrorize White people and search their homes for contraband, ie; guns and food stockpiles. I don’t foresee any problems the .gov will have in finding tens of thousands of niggers to volunteer to do this. The riling up of the niggers by ovmit and his minions/handlers is a harbinger of this action. It’s setting the stage.

I reckon that’s one of their plans. God knows how many contingency plans those psychopaths have made up.

When we allow/demand that the government control, regulate, criminalize, protect things this is what we have ultimately agreed to.

Every time you allow people to focus on control, eventually somebody goes to far.

In the land of the control freak, home of the cowed, they’ll revamp their procedure manual , again, at a cost of millions and we’ll go back to grabbing our ankles at the airports, alongside our highways, in our elementary schools and in our homes and businesses.

Gotta destroy a few innocents in order to pretend to keep some other innocents safe.

About 20 years ago, I was pulled over by one of the damaged egos. I didn’t get my license out fast enough to suit him, so he threatened me with a nightstick. I told him that if he hit me, the planet wasn’t big enough to hide him. He changed his attitude then and there and became officer friendly. He let me off with a warning (for doing absolutely nothing wrong). He asked me if I was serious about beating him up and I said I wasn’t planning to beat your ass, I would have killed you and your whole family.

Today, the asshole would draw and fire, but back then things were a little different. I’ve threatened cops on 3 separate occasions, justifiably. I would think long and hard about doing it today.
