Not everyone lives in a “Beautiful Homes” magazine-type house located in the newest subdivision. The woman was not harming anyone while in her home and apparently did not have anything to do with the accident outside. She was breaking no laws. The woman had the RIGHT to be secure in her home, and she had the RIGHT to drink beverages while enjoying her sports-viewing evening. If she wanted to pour the beer over the ice cream and enjoy the strange cocktail, she had the RIGHT to do that as well.
The cops did not have the RIGHT to arrest the woman. Anything else is unnecessary details to the story.
“According to the report, Mone is alleged to have said she would rather ‘get sued for taking action than not taking action’.”
Action regarding what? If she thought the woman’s home situation was a health hazard, she could have called Family Services the following day and requested they check to see if the homeowner needed county or city service’s assistance.
Cops don’t care if “they” get sued because “they” never have to pay. Most times they get qualified immunity and only the municipality that employs them remain defendants and if they are not granted qualified immunity the municipality will provide legal counsel and settle with the taxpayers money.
“Anything else is unnecessary details to the story.”
Wrong. She was unsafe in her home. The tried to get her to call for assistance and proceeded to make a protective custody arrest.
