Reply to comment by manicmonday122 in Rhode Island woman dies in police custody in Tennessee by Meatball_Grinder
I think its clear that in just about every way possible, every institution tasked with caring for Lisa Edwards in the final 24hours of her life failed her.
I think what bothers me so much about her death is the likely terror and confusion she probably felt while her life was ending. She goes to a hospital fearing she is having another stroke, gets kicked out, asks for help, gets arrested, asks for help, gets mocked by police, asks for help, dies alone in the backseat of a police car. Its the callousness she was shown by the last line of people that COULD have done something to save her life but chose not to. The same people that are supposed to deal with life or death situations regularly in their line of work.
I just can't see anything that Lisa could have possibly done differently in this situation to help herself better, which is what she was trying to do, help herself.
