People online, and friend in RL instead of Cyber often argue with me about how the cops are doing a basically good job. I argue that if you have to lie about it, you aren’t doing a good job. One of the odd things is how often the stories of the police fail to match the video once it is finally released. Today’s example is a man who died in the San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Jail.
SLO County Jail inmate died naked on the floor as deputies watched, chilling video shows
The Deputies had this man strapped to a chair for two days. The Coroner ruled it natural causes, a blood clot broke free of his leg and stopped his heart. The Sheriff told us that the man had been found unconscious and was constantly under the supervision of medical personnel. Well, that wasn’t exactly true, in fact, it wasn’t true at all. There were two truths in the statement of the Sheriff. The man was a diagnosed mental patient. And he died. There ended the truths.
The heartless bastards wearing badges joked and laughed as the poor man lay dying on their floor. They had killed him, slowly, painfully, agonizingly, and were laughing about it. The Sheriff’s Department and the county settled with the family of the deceased for five million dollars. If you wonder why, go to the page, and watch the videos. Any jury made up of anyone but fellow cops would have asked the judge what was the maximum amount of money that could be awarded in punitive damages.
I keep hearing about the vast majority of good cops, but save for a handful of examples each year, I can find no evidence of this vast majority. But we see at least several hundred of these types of stories, where corruption, lies, and barbarities are the norm. Somehow the tiny percentage of “bad cops” are exceptionally busy and somehow never discovered until the video is released to the public, then the dedicated police forces are valiantly investigating the wrongdoing, and will have it wrapped up in a year or two.
Tie your child to a chair for a day, and you’ll spend years in prison. Tie a prisoner to a chair for two days, and you were just following procedure. They never let the man up to go to the toilet. If you can’t handle the mental patient, get him transferred to the psych hospital, where they can medicate him and manage him. Tying the poor soul to a chair and watching him die is not an answer. If you needed a policy to tell you that was a bad idea, then you have no damned business with any sort of authority over anything more alive than a broom. You aren’t even human enough to be entrusted with the question “do you want fries with that?”.
This was not natural causes. This was a barbaric torture unto death conducted by inhuman monsters worthy only of our mutual disgust.
