Carol Gotbaum and personal responsibility

[kevin017]

it is clearly not the polices fault.

the police do have a responsibility to protect you from yourself once in their custody, in a sense. but they only have to do what a normal person would find reasonably necessary. if they heard her slamming her head into the door and let it go on, boo on them, but i'm guessing we can count on one hand the number of people who have strangled themselves with their own handcuffs.
