    This story is bad enough without throwing in the Trump reference as it's kind of irrelevant. The police involved with what happened should be punished no matter who they support for president if it's found that they acted wrongly.

    Out of morbid curiosity, what proof have you seen of that? What characteristics?

    Isn't it funny that Trump is supposed to be responsible for the actions of people that support him yet Hillary isn't responsible for her own actions?

    Amen to that. Police culture in this country is not good. The culture overall is kind of crazy, for that matter. I suppose the police are responding to that, and this is the result - crazy cops for crazy people.

    Trump is responsible for the explosion of stupid overtaking this country, so he's responsible for a hell of a lot, just not this guy dying in jail. Hillary is no better, but that doesn't make Trump any more or less bad.

    Anecdotes such as the tragedy in the OP happen world wide.

    However most of our LEO are very professional. The problem with enforcing drug laws is that it is the job of LEO to do so. You seem to forget if the LEOs are enforcing the law then someone wrote and passed that law to be enforced so you are blaming the wrong department. Also tasers do no good when someone has a gun.

    You way overestimate him. He is not responsible for anything of the sort. HE is expressing what many think and feel which is why he is doing so well. Not sure what you mean by stupid either.

    You mean like in Charlotte where the protestors assaulted people and threatened to burn them alive?

    1. The trump mention was unnecessary and irrelevant.
    2. There is no excuse or justification for someone to die of thirst in a prison or jail
    3. the solution for intential acts of cruelty is more consistent monitoring by an independent advocate, not more training. It shows a need for daily walk-throughs by an outside party in these jails.

    Lol, a pro-Trump sherif? Give me a break. Arrest the guy and move on, this story has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the election.

    I really do wish people didn't try to make EVERYTHING about Trump or Clinton.

    I agree.. This is inhuman. You would be prosecuted if you chained up a dog and didn't provide water.
