Valpal1: “Having them doesn’t make them legally valid or their force level acceptable; nor do their reasons trump our rights.”
Nor does it make their reasons legally invalid, and if she refused to peacefully submit, the police have a legal right to use whatever level of force is necessary to take her into custody. How do we know she didn’t fight back? The story is entirely from her point of view.
None of which explains the lack of medical care.
There are no valid reasons for that.
The injury and how it happened is immaterial to the fact that they failed to treat it for a week and then she had to have an emergency amputation.
Hello, the problem was not the arrest, injuries happen all the time during arrests. It’s the failure to treat while in custody that has them by the short hairs.
That is the part they cannot slide by or blame on the victim’s behavior.
