#6  In jail two days, yet on the meth?

Dudes on an over weekend detox don't know the dope man, and the dope man don't share with just anyone.

#5  Lived half a century without being arrested, I don't think I'm alone. So what is wrong with a certain segment of our society and how can we seriously deal with them?

#4  What a coincidence. I said the same thing, more or less, to someone. Totally get the cops. The world is full of assholes, and you have it in your power to erase one sometimes you don't think and step over the line. Too bad about the stupid bodycams - an absolutely fcuked idea that could only have spawned in a lawyer's mind.

Cops handling prisons are under great pressure, their nerves are shot most of the time and they can easily snap. Which is why they have so many psych evals and meditation workshops [at least here they do]. A buddy of mine is now an advisor to the govt on health and fitness of prison staff and instructs personnel in martial arts and yoga etc to keep them calm and confident, so they don't beat cons to death.

Question: What was the now death person doing to required the Officer to use that level of force?

Answer:

jailed for resisting arrest,
public intoxication,
indecent exposure,

Still in jail, he started up again and had to be brought fought into submission.

The ME Results:
He died from asphyxiation which was likely aided by drug"S" that were still in his system, or that he acquired while in jail, including methamphetamine.


Summary:
Don't be an A-Hole in jail and go home alive.
