I don’t have a problem with her being held accountable for not showing up for her prelim, but I do have a problem with a militerized police force being used to arrest her. The police know that low level offenders will always get caught for something later on, which is why they usually wait for them to re-offend rather than use police resources to,scoop them up.
I don’t think it’s right to deny her medical treatment. My original comment was simply directed toward the foolishness of tangling with the legal system in the first place. That doesn’t justify police brutality and a lack of care, but someone who blows off a preliminary hearing doesn’t sound like a very cooperative person to start with. We also ONLY have her side of this story, and everyone should pretty much understand that means it’s only going to be framed in a way that helps her legal case. There’s so much more left unsaid here, and I can’t believe some FReepers are ready to believe everything reported like it’s the gospel truth.
