The police may not have had the resources to handlehomeless people they do have dispatch that could have had called in possible heat stroke victims.. Ah bu that would have been digging into the all i portant job of parking on the curb doing nothing.

Tennessee trooper I knew once who is now retired son was in a wreck. He was called by officer on scene and told him he was drinking. He said simply that he knows the consequences. His son was charged with dui and driving recklessly. His son was sentenced to 90 days in jail, five years probation, and substance abuse counseling. His son never again drove under the influence. He was asked why did he throw his son under the bus? His answer he was lucky be a waste to not learn from the good fortune.

Even if this woman was inebriated or afflicted by a mental health episode. The officer who punched her while handcuffs was out of order. No excuse for his behavior. He should be arrested and charged for assault and battery. She was already cuffed. He cannot claim officer safety. Edit: I wanted to say this. While I may wasn't officers to arrest criminals. I do expect officers to perform their duties lawfully. A restrained suspect is a restrained suspect. We must remember a suspect is innocent til proven guilty by a court of law. They are still human beings with rights. Even if they are convicted they are still human beings that have rights. If they are under detainment and restricted from movement and restrained there must be a consideration for safety of those who are detained in such a fashion. Yes she was spitting and yes she was clearly upset. Punching her in such a state was completely unacceptable. I was a orderly in a mental health facility for 5 years. I have received injuries from some of the patients that resided there. In that time I never took it personally and completely understood they were unwell. We learned how to deescalate stressful situations. In the instances where we did use body mechanic control we learned how to effect it without causing injury to the patient. I eventually decided to leave the mental health field because of the stagnant wages and lack of benefits. Basically mental health isn't a considered problem in the United States. Stagnant wages, low funding, and down graded priority is a symptom of that. As we can see by how this individual was treated by the police. The lack of awareness is symptomatic of this lack of consideration and awareness.

Police anymore are so thin skinned and ego driven they can't shrug off a insult. So he used physical violence over a word. Yea he is a tyrant officer.

There are good judges, but what makes them good judges is humility. Fully aware of the power they are entrusted with can either cause a miscarriage of justice or prevent a miscarriage of justice. Those who allow power and prestige to color discernment and decisions are corrupt already.
