YouTube Description:
Via The Los Angeles Times: "Anna Brown was homeless and had so much pain in her legs that she couldn't walk. When Brown, 29, refused to leave the emergency room at St. Mary's Health Center in Richmond Heights, Mo., a suburb near inner St. Louis, the police thought she was on drugs and arrested her for trespassing. She'd already been examined, and a doctor said she was healthy enough to go to jail. The police carried her into a jail cell by her arms and ankles, her body slackened. There were a couple of beds in the cell, but they left her on the concrete floor. A couple of officers stood by the door as she writhed and moaned, and then they walked away. "They thought she was a drug seeker," an officer said later. She had stopped moving within 15 minutes and was pronounced dead a short time later...". Ana Kasparian, Jayar Jackson and former prosecutor Steve Oh break it down on The Young Turks.

That doctor should have his license to practice taken away. I blame the cops for a lot of heartless things in this story, but the doctor is responsible for her health and well being and he is just shit at his job...Unless she died from some sort of aneurysm that couldn't be detected then maybe he's off the hook.

She was complaining about leg pain and numbness. The first thing they should check in that situation is for blood clots. If a blood clot broke off and lodged in her heart or lungs she could have (probably did) die directly from medical negligence.
FadeAmerica, rushing headlong into a 3rd world dystopia. There's a reason for things like welfare and universal healthcare, because they're the RIGHT thing to do.
