And I love when the cops say they HAD to traumatize someone for life for “safety” reasons.
YES, of course there is NO other solution than that, no restraint chairs, no medication, heck there’s not even an actual doctor there. He diagnoses and prescribes OVER THE PHONE!!
When’s the last time YOUR doc would diagnose you and prescribe for you over the phone? Sounds like malpractice for SURE and probably criminal charges too.

As for the "safety" claims for doing this to people, try going here: http://www.sheriff.co.stark.oh.us/mr020219.htm ***

A prisoner had been there TWENTY SIX times and NEVER exhibited ANY suicidal tendencies....UNTIL he too was placed on suicide watch!!
So the sheriff's policies are not only getting lawsuits, they are contributing to the deaths of prisoners? And the sheriff CONTINUES these polices!
Will they be charged with murder the next time they drive a prisoner to take their life?

And that doesn't sound like too safe a "policy" to have, since they claim the deputies have gotten death threats.
Will deputies be safer when they go to someone’s house after the people have seen what happens to crime VICTIMS?
When deputies have to investigate crimes, will people be more willing to help after seeing this?
Probably not, so the streets wouldn’t be safer either for ANYONE.
And since this has been on national news, it not only makes YOUR local police less safe, it also puts MY friends & relation at more risk!
