OK, please see statement from the Interim Chief of Police here: http://www.13wmaz.com/news/article/178578/175/Milledgeville-Chief-Defends-Handcuffing
He clearly debunks the “placed in a cell” nonsense.
Well actually to again deal with what the article say, he says she was put in a “meeting” room. Want to bet that was an interview room?
Many of us would rightly say that someone in a windowless room that was locked from the outside was in jail. So I am not yet convinced that this “meeting” room was not the equivalent of a jail cell without the required paper work. The bureaucracy might be interested in the paper work, the rest of are more interested in what happened.
I was thinking and talking to my wife about this at dinner. You have to wonder why, if someone at school calls the cops about an unruly 6 year old child, doesn’t the cop who answers the phone say something like do you own job and then hang up on them? I guess policing does not attract the kind of person who could actually mind their own business any more.
