"Died of natural causes" and "officers didn't cause her death." Straight up negligence and a complete lack of empathy and intelligence, rewarded with "paid administrative leave."

Tell me again how not all cops are bad. Tell me how some cops are actually good people with good hearts who just want to help people. There's no such thing as a good cop and I'll shout it from the rooftops until the day I die, no irony found in the fact that it may well be a cop who kills me for being on the roof in the first place.

Calling them pigs is an insult to pigs.

I hope her family can find peace.

Unfortunately the family will never find peace. Doesn’t matter if one or all of the cops are fired, or they get some sort of financial decision made in their favor. Wouldn’t it have been faster to have someone reevaluate her then tell the officers with her able to hear it? No, cause it’s their way or their way. The way she was treated and laughed at for everyone to see is just disgusting. Imagine what was being said off camera?

She was arrested at a hospital. At the request of the doctors there. Because she refused to leave.

So no. Probably not.

The hospital should be sued. She is not in condition to leave as she died right there.

I don’t think she refused to leave, she physically couldn’t leave.

The cops are not medical professionals qualified to diagnose the patient, they were acting on information from the doctors at the hospital. The doctors are the ones who should be on administrative leave and the hospital should get sued for misconduct. The police wouldn’t even be at the hospital if the doctors did their job. I think your rage is misguided in this specific case.

How is this the fault of the police? If the doctors and nurses say she’s good to go and needs to be removed are you expecting the officer to overrule the P.H.D’s ?

I'll tell you that some cops are good people who want to help others. Some are disgusting people on a power trip who want to take out their anger on others. The vast majority aren't bad people, they're just employees working for a paycheck. However, any cop who tried to defend the actions of these inhumane pieces of shit is a bad cop.

The system is bad and allows bad people to do bad things while encouraging good people to join them. The system often punishes those who speak out. Blaming all cops is like treating the symptom instead of the disease. It's not like you throw on a uniform and instantly start shooting black guys in the street. We need reform, we need community service and outreach, we need accountability from a 3rd party, and any good cop would absolutely agree.
