If this story is true, then he should have been transferred to a mental hospital — he would have been unable to be tried because he was psychotic schizophrenic so I don’t see the point in keeping him in jail.

OTOH, this could be just family members setting up a lawsuit and the press eagerly amplifying any anti-LEO story.

Remember kids, The police are your friends and will always side with the Constitution vs receing a paycheck from their government overlords.

Somebody tell me how many crimes cops have prevented versus just showing up afterwards and filling out the paperwork.

Oh that’s right, high-speed chases. But yet again, the high speed chase only occurred after the initial crime was committed.

So the real answer is probably less than one percent

I’m trying to figure out what the family members were doing while all this was going on.

And why there was never any sort of trial.

One hypocritical element of the pseudo-justice system is “the right to a speedy trial” which is stretched out to hurt some people but is speeded up if the prosecution doesn’t have time to locate the intimidated witnesses and to bring in evidence being suppressed due to gang or homeboy lawyers wanting to get their criminals off.

Those poor Jan.6 victims rotting in prison and especially in solitary confinement didn’t even get to see their lawyers in some cases and had no proper handling or “speedy trial.”

Arrested for pointing his fingers at police in a threatening manner, Arkansas man Larry Eugene Price Jr. wound up in jail for more than a year without being convicted and eventually died of malnutrition and dehydration behind bars.

The right to a speedy trial is no more.

Probably safe to say that Mr. Price Jr. was probably a cracker and a white supremacist as well. So all is OK. < / sarcasm >

Trials are many times delayed at the request of the defendants over loaded, court appointed attorney, thereby waiving the right to a speedy trial.

Our judicial system is a mess but still the best in the world.

How many contacts do police officers have with people on one day in the United States? Find one anomaly and shout it out.

Re: Our judicial system is a mess but still the best in the world.

My grudge and personal animosity is increasing.

I will allow that all the other countries of the world are worse as you said.
But it’s like a kid coming home after a schoolyard fistfight and now has blood all over his face, welts and cuts, torn clothes and a split lip “But you should see the other guy.”

So... a follower of Q.

BINGO! Mr Price, may he RIP, is not the Lone Ranger.

But regarding Mr Price, he belonged in the mental ward, not jail. And the title is misleading, as he was not starved to death as that creates the belief of never being fed.

Regardless, the county is just as wrong regarding Mr Price’s death as the democrats are just as wrong over the J6 people.

There are not supposed to be anomalies. Also, it’s a bunch more than just one.

Here’s over 100+ hours of cops on video being criminals.

I have had copthugs tell me that they know that most people hate them because they write traffic citations. I tell them that is not why I hate them. They ask, “OK, why do you hate us?”

I reply, “Because you spend every waking moment from the time you wake up until you go to sleep, whatever hours you work. trying to determine how you can eff your fellow human beings, and not only that: You try to figure out how many of your fellow human beings can you eff and how hard can you can eff each and every one of them.” They get self-conscious, stutter, stammer and do not have an answer.

If his family had truly been concerned, could they not have paid the $100 bail? (Bail = 10% of $1000) Did they not see his decline during their many visits to see him?

What? They didn't visit him? Oh.
