I did the paper towel test. It took six before I had trouble pulling them apart and ten of the ones at work which are about the strength of one of those paper gowns.
Sorry, don't buy it.
But even if it was some sort of super strong paper gown there was no need to leave her uncovered after she was restrained in the chair.
There is no way to compare your paper towel test with mine. I wasn't there for yours, and you weren't there for mine. Plus, I don't know what kind you used and you don't know what kind I used. A paper gown provides a lot of paper. The more paper that can be twisted, the stronger the resulting "rope" will be. Plus, the paper wouldn't have to support her full weight if she were sitting on the floor with her neck restricted enough to choke her. Now, that being said, she did try to strangle herself, according to reports. Therefore, they took the device with which she was trying to strangle herself away, and I believe they also cut her hair because she was trying to strangle herself with her braids. Also, we do not know what kind of relationship the accusing officer had with his fellow police officer. Maybe he saw it as an opportunity to get rid of her for some past wrong. Maybe not. We do not know. Since we do not know, I believe a police officer ANY DAY over a drug addict. If the officer behaved inappropriately I would not object to her being fired. I do not believe this useless piece of trash drug addict deserves one cent from the taxpayers of the community involved. She put herself in the position to begin with by A) being arrested and B) acting like a complete imbecile.
