Wow! seriously? police arrest a guy just 'thinking' he's drunk and don't do anything to figure out if he is or not? what happened to the police caring
about the well being of citizens drunk or not?
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.
