Responding to a press request, Rob Keller, Public Information Officer (PIO) for Morton County, supplied the "Morton County Correctional Center Policies and Procedures." The document, known as G 400 is unusual in its format. There is no official seal, it is not in a secure PDF format, and a check of the Microsoft Word "properties" of authorship simply reads "Sheriff Dept." Anyone can change this document, edit the content, redact or add content. So a link is provided here, but it's official legal content is in question.
In the section "Policy" and under "Procedure: visual assessment (strip searching)," there is this directive.
The duty correctional officer(s) will not use or permit the use of visual assessments in the Correctional Center as a means of intimidating or embarrassing inmates. Visual assessments will be conducted only as a necessity to monitor the flow of contraband into inmate access areas.
There you have it. A moral compass and clear moral leadership is required, and in the case of Morton County, lacking.
Is it reasonable to expect that a pediatrician, the Tribal Chairman, the actress Shailene Woodley, an Alderwoman from Wisconsin and a nineteen-year-old girl were harboring contraband?
In Morton County's own words, this was clearly a means of intimidating and embarrassing potential inmates. This is also a systematic attempt to bully Native Americans and other supporters of the DAPL opposition.
It seems that a narcissist is in control of Morton County and he is an elected official.
The Sheriff and the deputies who carry out his orders are all progeny of Narcissus. They pursue their gratification through violent intimidation, and are falling in love with their images as reflected in press conferences where the Sheriff can term a prayer service a riot and get away with it.
