Police charge two caregivers at a Jonesboro facility with waterboarding an 89-year-old woman. Clayton County police said Jermeller Steed and Cicely Reed held down Anna Foley after an argument that started over ice cream.
They’re said to have allegedly held down Foley in a locked shower room, flooding her face with the hand-hold shower nozzle in 2008.
According to WGCL-TV, Foley was undergoing treatment at the facility for dementia. A co-worker witnessed the event and blew the whistle.

So what do you think about this?
 
I don't like to indulge in revenge porn, but this sounds like two perfectly good candidates for the Barrel.
 
Well...this certainly dispels the myth of waterboarding as 'torture'. I mean if an 85 year old dementia patient can handle it...how tough can it be?

I know I know...dems dont like waterboarding. They prefer it when their president orders an outright assassination...double tap to the dome...and the crowd goes wild.

This IS the direction you wanted this to go, right?

Ya except in this case it was done with a showerhead. In the video I seen it looked like they (interrogators) used a 4 inch diamiter pipe with a 4 inch valve. Do you know how much water that lets out? Enough to kill a person if forced under it long enough.
 
It's an assult here, regardless, to a citizen by other citizens.

Waterboarding may or may not be torture (depending on who you believe). But, if it's something you're willing to have done to yourself in training, I tend to think it's probably ok to use for interregation of non-citizens. I'm ok with stun-guns and tear gas, so I'm basically ok with water boarding.

I'm not ok with cutting off fingers or toes. But, I'm pretty sure we don't do that in training, either.

Using an eye dropper would be inappropriate 'in this case'.
