these kind of stories about the police and their mistreatment of citizens really disgust me, i hope they get some punishment for this
The inquest heard that Mr Camm, a window cleaner, could barely talk and was unsteady on his feet because of the neurological condition when he was detained by police at an off-licence on June 17 four years ago.
But instead of taking him to a hospital officers arrested him for being drunk and disorderly.
He was assessed by a nurse who could not smell alcohol on his breath. Despite this he was slung in a cell at Wood Street police station in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, as officers made rude jokes about his mental well-being.
For the next 25 hours he did not move or speak, the inquest was told.
