So when this guy started having a seizure, was being forcibly restrained, handcuffed, shackled, with a “spit mask,” strapped onto his face, then turned over on his stomach part of that county government medical process?
BTW, is everyone taken to government jails from, "Off the streets?"
“Jails are getting to be the default answer to too many questions from mental illness, to unruly kids, to minor violations, even debt. When it becomes so common, the shame value is lost. It used to be a scandal to be locked up, now, since it happens a lot, to a wide range of people, there is no adverse social stigma.”
Too bad it isn’t the answer to illegal invaders, tax evading public officials, sexual perversion, looting and invasion of privacy any longer.
You have a rich, albeit distasteful, fantasy life.
Please leave me out of it.
BTW, you must have been delighted when your fellow Eric Garner fan murdered those two police officers in cold blood. Did you throw a party?
Ya like treating people with medical issues like they're in some 3rd world Turkish prison wideawake? You think it's cool? Deserved?
So if you or others with multiple health issues, get jailed on trumped up or BS government charges, you'll support them withholding your life saving medications right wideawake?
Would it be OK with you while your choking on your own saliva if the guards gang rape you till ya squeal?
Just a thought wideawake.
You have a rich, albeit distasteful, fantasy life.
More of your evasive diversionary thoughts wideawake? Then ya have the nerve to lie and suggest I supported some cold blooded murderer regarding an issue which has nothing to do with this event?
What a desparate piece of work you are.
This is a tough one. Sure HE should have been given his medicine, but don’t think for a second he was the only person making noise in jail demanding medicine or other stuff. Prisoners make noise, it’s what they do, most of them are just looking to break the monotony, get some special treatment, maybe even destroy some evidence if they get half a chance (you get busted for drug dealing then demand access to pills you had, most of the time that’s not medical). And there’s really no way for the guards to know, especially in temporary holding where they have little if any knowledge about a specific prisoner. It’s easy to say “they should have...” it’s harder to figure out how they were supposed to separate the legit guy from the rest of the crowd.
Well, I'm not a lawyer, but I did stay in a Law Suite once.

HAh. . .good one.
Well stated.
Again, the article was written from the viewpoint of the decedent's mother.
Not only is she sure that her little angel did no wrong, but she stands to make more money than she's ever seen in her life if her claims are true.
It's amazing to me that - on a site whose entire purpose is to critique facile, liberal media spin - everyone here accepts the story of a clearly biased party as gospel truth.
Additionally, each day the Jail receives prisoners who are brought in by Constables, Federal authorities and Sheriff's Deputies. These persons may be apprehended fugitives, persons who had bonds revoked, persons who have been sentenced to Jail at Court, Parole or Probation Violators. These numbers vary. Overall, commitments to the Jail range between 50 and 70 per day. The number of permanent releases runs slightly less than admissions. Thus, the Jail's population has been growing.
Depending upon Court activity, each weekday, well over 100 persons move out and back from Criminal Court hearings or trials. This heavy movement on a daily basis requires devotion of considerable administrative, services and security resources in order to run properly.
The volume of movement is one factor that distinguishes a county jail from a prison facility that houses sentenced prisoners. There is much less movement in and out of a prison facility. Another distinguishing factor is length of stay. In prisons, length of stay is predicable and usually longer than Jail.
In Jails, the length of stay is usually unpredictable and shorter. Shorter Length of stay (30-31 days at ACJ) results in a transient population that may be volatile. This has implications for programs and services and for management and operations procedures.
That can easily happen over the weekend.
Typically one has to work either a Saturday or a Sunday shift.
As in retail and pastoring, it's a profession where the weekend makes up the busiest days of the workweek.

There is no solution to the problem of prison health care.
The law will not be changed to make inadequate care part of the sentence, and the money will not be allocated to make the care adequate.
It sounds like they should stop arresting so many people.
But take St. Skittles for example. That kid could not spell Skittles if you spotted him all the letters but the s, but he knows how to get high off them.
And FR is about more than government bureaucracy - the purpose of the site is to bring a conservative critique to mainstream media articles - hence the structure of the site as commentary on . . . posted articles.
Just look at your courts nowadays. They have more cash registers than your typical Super Walmart with lines of people to match.
There is no definition of “adequate healthcare.”
