After the ninth request, the tape shows, a female officer asked: "How is that my problem?"
While there is a limited need for female police officers, most women who would want to become one shouldn't.

Sounds like a clearcut case of wrongful death to me.

She's got the wrong lawyer. But probably NOT for long. The "John Edwards" types will be circling soon.
Those officers should be seriously reprimanded then fired!

My goodness... it makes one wonder what the rest of the story is with this. Why was she thrown in jail to begin with? Is it alleged that the officers treated her roughly or did something that caused the miscarriage? Whatever it was, this was a horrible outcome.

True, but I'd still rather be pulled over by a male officer who shouldn't be there than a female who shouldn't.

... it makes one wonder what the rest of the story is with this. Why was she thrown in jail to begin with? Is it alleged that the officers treated her roughly or did something that caused the miscarriage? She was on the way to the hospital because she started bleeding and was stopped on the way. She had outstanding traffic warrants (all misdemeanors)and was driving with an expired temporary license. I'm here in KC and have seen the police video several times on the news. The cops are toast. They had the right to stop her, but what happen afterward is inexcusable. She was polite, cooperative, and was begging for medical assistance. The cops deserved to be fired at the least.

Odds are that she was losing the baby anyway (sad as that is) but she still might have had a chance and furthermore, could have hemoragged.
Idiot power hungry cops. I am in appreciation for 95% of our law enforcement, but the other 5% need to get in check.
To: Lurking in Kansas
Clearly the cops were wrong here but what about everyone else that came in contact with this booking at the police station? I read somewhere (don't know if it's true) that she required several changes of clothes through the night. And yet, NO ONE did anything!?
To: ActionNewsBill
There's more blame to go around than just these two cops. The woman spent the night in lockup. I have a hard time believing she suddenly stopped asking for treatment once she was there. If she continued to be ignored long after the arrest then others should be looked at as well, and I hope the investigation includes that.

Film was all over TV a couple of days ago, And the officers need to be fired not suspended.

There is plenty of blame to go around, not just the 2 officers.
This poor lady needs a better attorney too. If I were the city I'd settle for the $25K she is seeking.
To: Lurking in Kansas
She even asked about what would happen if she died.
As I understand it they did not seek medical attention for her until she passed a large clot.
Sad, just so very sad.

They should be fired and prosecuted.
