He did a lot more than held up a knife. The officer was beaten , stabbed multiple times and dragged around by his neck . then he took the officer to the top of the stairs and threatened to throw him down the stairs with a knife to his throat.....I never said the inmate was a saint or martyr. He held up a knife, and got the Darwin award, as he should.
I don't want to put words in your mouth, so please clarify - should we treat arrestees as guilty, or innocent until proven guilty?
Are you saying the jail is Ok as-is?
