this is an inflammatory story and i would appreciate knowing the whole story not just one persons statement as its not possible to ascertain anything without knowing the whole story from both sides as medication is administered in psy hospitals when folks are acting out violently and i am not accusing just would like to know the entire story before the typical rush to judgment .This type of reporting is manipulative as various motives of racism, aggression are all presented with out context leading others to be emotionally stimulated for a myriad of purposes least of which being the truth...
I agree. thats the reason for the title
will the evidence prove or refute the claim?,,,,
That will be for a judge and jury to decide.
'If', during the stop, the woman behaved in a bizarre manner, or, behaved in such a way, as to lead the officers to believe she posed a threat to herself and/or others. They were within their rights, to have her committed involuntarily, for a psych eval.
Given that she claims to have been held for eight days, the medical professionals must have seen some issue with her.
Individual states, regulate how long a person can be held involuntarily, for a psych eval, ranging from 24 to 72 hours.
The police, can't mandate a longer stay. 'If', the mental health professionals had deemed there not to be an issue, they could have released her at any time during the eval.
On the other hand, 'IF', she was singled out for driving/owning a BMW while black... in that case, it would have been a violation of her rights.
'But', unless we're chosen for jury duty in this issue... and even then,
I doubt any one of us, will ever know what 'really' happened.
but she wasnt detained at the stop
the stop lead to her being taken to the statino and RELEASED
it was something between that time and the time of her picking up her vehicle that needs to justify their actions in institutinalizing her
