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.

You keep quoting all these facts, but you're missing the point. The article was written entirely from the lady's point of view. How do we even know she made 16 requests to see a doctor? Look. If events happened exactly as she claims, she was wronged and will win her case. Why do so many of you automatically assume I'm picking sides in this rather than simply pointing out #1 she initiated the chain of events by failing to show at a required hearing (whether intentionally or not) and #2 we are ONLY getting one side of this story. I mean, seriously. Some are even trying to diagnose her medical issue based solely on the scant details reported here. Ridiculous!
