Samuel Ingall, a homeless man, is suing the Honolulu Police Department and the city after he says officers forced him to lick a urinal in a public restroom. John Rabago, a police officer who remains on restricted duty, pleaded guilty in December to depriving Ingall of his civil rights. Ramones, who left the department in August, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge that he knew Rabago committed a civil rights violation but didn't inform authorities.


HONOLULU (AP) — A homeless man is suing the Honolulu Police Department and the city after he says officers forced him to lick a urinal in a public restroom.

Samuel Ingall was seeking shelter in the restroom in January 2018 when one of the officers told him in an “aggressive tone” that the “only way he could avoid arrest was by licking the urinal in the bathroom,” the lawsuit said.

Another officer stood in the doorway, propping open the door, then closed it so they wouldn't be caught on video, according to the lawsuit filed last week.

It said Ingall, “against his will, knelt before the urinal and licked the urinal."

Either a crime was committed and should be acted on (threatened arrest), or not. There isn't a "do this humiliating/dehumanizing thing, for our entertainment and your utter humiliation (and be damned the health risk to you) - and we won't arrest you" option.

A health hazard.
If that homeless person got sick, he could pin it on the Police Dept and this officer.

Purely disgusting.
