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.
A minute later, Anthony, the jailer, and Adams, the nurse, went into the cage, took off the paper gown and placed Perdue "in the restraint chair nude," Hall's report said.
They took her gown off of her. That means that she was not trying to make some sort of McGyver noose out of it. Otherwise it would read that they took the gown away from her.
When you are holding something they take it away, when you are wearing something they take it off.
This was investigated. People were fired.
Even in the days when we used the stocks we didn't put them in naked.
There is more then one police officer quoted in the report. More then one tried to intervene. They thought it was wrong to do this. So you can take the side of the jailer and nurse who engaged in inappropriate behavior but you can not take the side of the police officers who were the witnesses.
You have all but called the police officers who witnessed this liars. That it happened is not in dispute. That it was wrong is not in dispute. How much, if anything she should get is.
