Sounds like APD ought to get the checkbook out

Next time I throw a cup at someone, I'll expect to have my shoulder broken.
As you should, you punk *****!!!
:wink:
I'm not a lawyer, but from my experiences, courts and the legal system in general place a lot of importance on actions taken compared to what a "reasaonable" person would have/should have done. It's not only the letter of the law that is important, but a comparison to what's reasonable.
I know "reasonable" is very subjective, but I believe it is a very strong consideration in most court cases like these.
I agree. Who knows how it actually went down at this point. The media loves to over exaggerate things.
Least amount of force necessary does ring a bell, however. He'll probably get a slap on the wrist and told to go to his room and think about what he's done and that will be that.
Or induce a melee in a Detroit basketball arena where fans think they have a chance at clocking basketball players on the court who work out for a living..... Malice at the Palace baby! :smile:Next time I throw a cup at someone, I'll expect to have my shoulder broken.
The cop shouldn't have been in the house in the first place. She's no danger to others, and if she wants to die a miserable death at home that's her choice. She overreacted throwing the cup of water, but if she gets to tell her story to a jury the APD will have to write a huge check.
Everyplace is probably different.
I thought it takes a court order that a family member can petition for. But that's more along the lines to keep you. Not sure about just going by and checking. I think the cop had every right to enter - especially with the daughter there and posssessing a key.
After that becomes a little more dicey. :wideeyed:
I guess I don't know how it works either. I'm guessing that if someone is mentally competent and refuses medical treatment, the police can't drag that person to the hospital. Maybe anorexia is different because there's a mental health issue too.
