She was taken for a 72 hour hold (section 5150 of the california health and safety code). According to the radio report at the time, she had been running in and out of traffic on the La Brea onramp of the 10 freeway. Which is basically suicide at rush hour. So that’s what the evaluation was for. They’ll adjust her meds and release her. She’ll stop taking her anti-psychotics, and maybe self-medicate, and some other cop will get the call, again, and have to figure out how to take her back to the psych ward, again. And the FReeper peanut gallery can have fun calling that next cop a ‘nazi’ or something similar, again.
“They’ll adjust her meds and release her”
Yeh there’s nothing like a few good punches to the face and some meds to get a mental patient back on track. After that cop straigtened her out on the finer points of MMA ground pound she prolly won’t even need meds anymore. Ya just gotta know how to handle these people. Once you get a small woman on the ground its important to get in a few good licks just to stay in practice for when you get home.
