[quote=globe]Shouldn’t a police call involve a “quick check” of someone’s record?
Is that not doable?
If a man is 70 and never been in ANY trouble then certainly he deserves some leeway, until a crime has been proven.
Tend to agree. I have no idea if the man’s telling the truth or not, but I question the need for an aggressive takedown maneuver for someone that age. Could understand if he was putting up a fight & resisting. Also, I think it’s piss poor for of them not letting him go to the restroom while in custody.
According to a good source, he didn't give them time to go, never asked before creating the scene that was described. I wasn't there, so I can't attest to it. I will say that I have been in a lot of jails across the US and I have seen some poor conditions, but nothing that I thought was to bad for a criminal. With that said, most of what I saw was not inside individual cells.
