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.

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 >

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

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.

Lemme see if I got this straight...
He was found dead in a pool of stagnant water and piss, death ruled due to malnutrition and dehydration, and this judge stands in front of the press and says safety and medical care of inmates is a top priority???
That asshole needs to be flogged in public..

Assuming the article about Price is accurate, and that’s a big assumption these days, Mr. Price’s family will prevail for the following reasons in my opinion:

1. He’s black.
2. major weight loss is hard evidence hard to refute
3. found dead laying in urine and water; hard to refute
4. low IQ; hard to refute
5. from the sound of the article, a REAL M.D. never examined him; since the man died, that’s a killer.
6. Medical Examiner sounds biased in favor of the state

The county might as well get their checkbook out.

had an IQ below 55.

WOW! That's in the Joe Biden/ Kamala Harris range! He probably needed assistance in breathing.

"The county places a high priority on the safety of every person in our jail. We have medical personnel available to treat inmates in need of care,"

Apparently they are quacks. The guy lost 100 pounds and nobody noticed. He lived in pools of water and urine and nobody noticed. He didn't eat his food and nobody noticed the full trays being returned? He had a very low IQ and nobody cared enough to check up on him. Just put him in solitary and no care about what this would do to an already fragile mental state.

I understand that there are a lot of inmates who are intentionally troublesome, erratic, etc at that may annoy the guards to the point of just writing the inmates off. But these guards can't just be allowed to clock in and clock out without doing basic welfare checks.

“Arrested for pointing his fingers at police in a threatening manner...”

There is nothing more stupid than that. You cannot be terrorized by someone pointing their finger at you!!!
