This reminds me a an episode of Dr. Quinn I saw then I was little. The kkk attacks a man and his wife and cuts the woman's hair off. I feel like I'm watching that all over again when I see this. Where is peoples humanity? It feels like we are going backwards.

How is someone strapped to a fucking chair a suicide risk?

Rage. RAGE.

You sound white.

Michigander here!

Growing up South Side (Chicago) this was one of those continuous fears you had if you were a Black girl with long hair, especially if you were light-skinnt [yeah I spelled it like that] or of mixed race. Gangs of girls were known to chase you home from the bus stop and cut your hair. Not into a cute pixie either, they…

WHAT THE FUUUUCK? Like what the ACTUAL FUCK? I can't even wrap my head around how fucked up this is. I hope she can pursue criminal charges or at least sue the shit out of them.

This has to be completely emotionally scarring. Do they know what hair means to the majority of women? That it is often a sign of femininity? That to have it forcibly ripped from your head while you are helpless would be completely humiliating and demoralizing? Najor had to know since she is a woman. That makes it…

Jezebel please monitor follow-up this story as best you can, I badly want to hear that this young woman gets justice - These cops have breached public trust and I hope they get prosecuted and lose their jobs.

I don't know if I'm just emotionally exhausted over all the shit going down this week or what, but I just had a complete crying breakdown over this article. FUCK THE POLICE. They should all, to a person, be in jail for torture and assault. Fired? NOT ENOUGH.

If she had been white they would have fucking taken her to a hospital for a rape kit since she called them to report she'd woken up in that hotel room totally disoriented and thought she'd been drugged and attacked. But she's black so strap her down and cut her hair off instead.

I'm glad Jezebel posted about this - this was a racialized and sexualized assault. The fact that the assailant was a woman underscores this - she knew exactly how humiliating and demeaning it would be to the victim.

Nail extensions can be used as weapons in jail but if it were a white girl with nail extensions I doubt you'd see the cops cutting her nails off. They'd probably leave her to sober up before letting her call her parents/partner/lawyer to get her out on bail for trashing the hotel room in a moment of privileged…

The fact the police officer's union is try to contest this is disgusting. Do not defend someone who's done something defenseless.

This is the horrible beast that cut Ms. Gregory's hair. I know that it is wrong, but I all I want to do is find her and beat her down. Piece of crap!

Why am I NOT surprised by this; could it be the 50 years I've spent as a Black woman?

This is so stupid on so many levels! Why are they cutting of her hair, stupid jealous b**** is my first thought. The second thought is that the donuts are probably sold out and she needed something to do. What is the other officer doing to her feet by the way, she seems to be hurting? I hope that Najor never gets her…

Jesus. That's sadism right there.

Hearing this really ruined my day when i see this happening to a fellow black woman BECAUSE she is black.

Racist misogynistic sadists. They're no doubt cut from the same cloth as the scum that worked at abu ghraib.
