This is a tough one. Sure HE should have been given his medicine, but don’t think for a second he was the only person making noise in jail demanding medicine or other stuff. Prisoners make noise, it’s what they do, most of them are just looking to break the monotony, get some special treatment, maybe even destroy some evidence if they get half a chance (you get busted for drug dealing then demand access to pills you had, most of the time that’s not medical). And there’s really no way for the guards to know, especially in temporary holding where they have little if any knowledge about a specific prisoner. It’s easy to say “they should have...” it’s harder to figure out how they were supposed to separate the legit guy from the rest of the crowd.
Well stated.
