I know police/guards have a hard job; and, they deal with liars and con artists all day - but stories like this are too common.

Actually, they are EXTREMELY rare....pay attention

“Actually, they are EXTREMELY rare....pay attention”

We’ve actually had one person die in jail custody from a medical condition and two commit suicide in recent years...all within 24 hours of being in-processed. And I already wrote about the poor guy who got tased while having a stroke. All in my little ole’ community.

I’m sure on a percentage basis these instances would be shown to be ‘rare’ - but for the most part they are completely unnecessary.

I expect a lot from cops. They have been bestowed with a lot of power, to include the ability to detain people and use deadly force. And when wielding that power, incidents like this should be almost unheard of.
