I am going to rise to your challenge, SpaceBits, because this question has haunted me all night.
What possible justification might there be?
If the woman was violent, perhaps scratched or bit the officers (perhaps seriously) or if she had tried to club or stab an officer. If she had HIV and
had scratched and spit at an officer...
AND/OR, if she was screaming about how she was going to commit suicide, and had actually made an attempt to hurt herself, by hitting herself or trying
to slash herself with a pen or the sharp edge of a desk or chair...
AND/OR, if she is a repeat offender and has done any of the above things, perhaps more than once, perhaps having a long history of irrational and
bloody violence against others and herself.

I actually think the above senarios are unlikely. Please don't get me wrong here -- I think the MOST LIKELY senario is she was lippy to the police
and they decided they were going to humiliate her in retailiation.
I just want to point out that nobody here knows the full story. I have a Google News Alert setup on this, and I will be watching for further news. We
haven't seen the last of this, I think. I am open to further explanation. She will have her day in court.
