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.
Somebody tell me how many crimes cops have prevented versus just showing up afterwards and filling out the paperwork.
Oh that’s right, high-speed chases. But yet again, the high speed chase only occurred after the initial crime was committed.
So the real answer is probably less than one percent
I’m trying to figure out what the family members were doing while all this was going on.
And why there was never any sort of trial.
Similar thing happened here locally. Guy was acting up while at a local nut house, and they called the cops, who ended up taking him to jail because he warrants for outstanding misdemeanors. He ended dying 8 days later.

The brother wants money. Where was he when his brother needed help.

This costs them a lot of money, so they use ‘their own’ mental health provider:
“...Sebastian County and its jail medical provider Turn Key Health Clinics. “
Except for the autopsy report clearly indicating malnutrition and dehydration as the cause of death.
Sheriff needs to be rode out of town, since he clearly doesn’t know what’s going on in his jail.
Really disgusting inhumane behavior of the jail staff.
