We don’t get to see what preceded the shiny floor ride to the cell, but I’m sure there was some swearing at the officers and/or spitting at them and/or swinging at them to wind up where she did.
If the person was physically disabled, would a wheelchair be available? That is the most callous and disrespectful treatment of a prisoner I’ve ever witnessed. Of course, I have not witnessed any prisoners being led out of the courthouse before. How did they get her out of the building? Totally disgusting.
I’m on the clock and I’m not an asshole, so I’d probably give her more than a couple of minutes to get her act together.
How long would you give her?
I question the integrity and legality of the attorney, Bill Gelin, in providing this video to the public
Our society is sick. What happened to kindness and respect?
Not long she knows the system and was just buying time. She most likely has a PHD in working it.
How would it not be legal to videotape what is happening in a public place?
The two uniformed officers pictured could have carried her away—with less squabble.
One evening, a deputy sheriff friend had arrested four burglars himself, then transported them to be fingerprinted. Without sufficient officers in the lobby, the officer tied the four together with a long rope. The elevator took off automatically, and two went up, and two were still left on the lobby floor. While nothing bad happened, sufficient officers during the evening shift would have made the situation much less awkward!
She was the racist here - she didn't obey him because he was Black... (do I really need the "/s" ?)
without seeing the tape or being there, I’d hesitate to judge here. I’ve worked with the mentally disturbed, and sometimes four point restraint is the only way to keep the cops and those around them safe.
So, would you offer to hold her upper body up and get bitten or get a head butt into your sternum? The alternative would be three cops to get her out of there.
Once I was reprimanded in an ER for having cops restrain a patient who threw a phone at me...presumably I should have sweet talked him until the psychiatrist came.... Six months later, a similar case came to that ER and ended up stabbing a few folks waiting to be seen.
