[Lurking in Kansas]

... 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.

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!?

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.
