The reason I asked about justifiable is because that offered number is often used and not understood.
Woman who Accused 2 Cops of Rape Dies after Falling from Sheriff's Moving SUV
Nothing sketchy about this at all.
I mean, who amongst us isn't capable of removing police handcuffs, belly chain and ankle restraints and throw ourselves from an occupied and unlocked cruiser.
maybe you should read the actual story details and look at this woman's past history as well as she's claiming a female deputy sodomized her when cameras show otherwise, and I'd wait until the investigation is complete before you make wild accusations.
What accusations did I make, I just said it's sketchy.
Do a lot of your perps wiggle out of cuffs, belly and ankle restraints and fling them out of your patrol car? Is this normal?
He will defend the brotherhood no matter how damning the evidence is. I was under the assumption that back seat patrol car doors couldn't be opened from the inside, but when the person riding back there can remove handcuffs and fling themselves from a car apparently miracles happen.What accusations did I make, I just said it's sketchy.

Suspects wiggle out of cuffs or attempt to all the time, and i've had some try to flee from moving cruiser..look at the actual facts here.
- suspect with long history of mental illness and criminal acts is arrested
- while at jail she claims a female officer sodomizes her (even though camera footage shows otherwise)
- she later changes her story and also adds the male arresting officer raped her (no evidence of such)
- the sheriff does the right thing and investigates thru 3rd party/internal affairs investigation even though claim is suspect
- Sheriff and jailer (different ones) escort suspect to "advocacy center" for rape kit and get S.A.N.E. test
- Advocacy center tells deputies to take her to hospital for a more thorough exam, deputies comply
- While in bathroom at advocacy center (and she's by herself there) prisoner steals a bottle of shower gel and hides it on her person
- While placing prisoner in transport, officers loosen her shackles at her request because they "hurt and make her legs sore"
- Prisoner uses gel and loose shackles to get her hands and legs free
- Prisoner opens the door (either it was broken or left unlock by mistake) and tries to flee the vehicle during motion
- Belly chain causes her to fall out head first and she hits her head on the pavement
- She dies due to head injury and stupidity
Pretty clear case what happened....now if you want to say the transporting deputies were negligent by loosening her cuffs, or leaving her alone in bathroom at the center, or by not having a door that locks properly, i am sure there will be some civil liability there depending on their policies/procedures.
If you believe this was a murder to cover up 2 rapes, well use Occam's Razor

Based on [his] discussion with Chief [Brian] Hickman, and at his direction," Heath goes on to list a six-point plan to improve officer performance. Two of those points stated that officers were required to "stop vehicles at any time, whether the violation is big or small" and to "not issue Verbal Warnings, and to issue Written Warnings as a minimum."
In a response to the entry, then-Lt. Darrell Hannah wrote, "I have made it clear several times myself that verbal warnings do nothing for our yearly stats."
He ends his response by saying, "If productivity remains low let me know and we can we can [sic] work on a strategy that will include the documentation on the employees yearly evaluation along with a recommendation of not receiving the yearly step raise."
By December 2018, the department then began directing officers to meet a minimum number of "enforcement activities" and "patrol activities" each month, the lawsuit states.
Enforcement actions were defined as written citations or arrests, and patrol activities included neighborhood, business and school patrols, according to a statistic sheet posted to a bulletin board in the department's headquarters. But what did not count toward "enforcement activities," according to the lawsuit, were arrests that resulted from 911 calls. For example, if an officer responded to a reported domestic violence incident and made an arrest, that arrest would not count. The arrest would have to stem from a traffic stop.
Officers who reached their set numbers were more likely to be considered for promotions, newer patrol cars or extra training opportunities, the lawsuit states.

They turned it over to the DA. They are the ones who decided not to chargeCouple sue over incident in their garage with armed UTPD commander
I still don't understand why Knox County declined to arrest/bring charges. This was a pretty clear cut case.
About 15 years ago here in Chattanooga there was a guy in a bitter divorce. His wife accused him of rape on their 12 year old step daughter. The police told him they had DNA proof and the child psychologist said he did it. They turned their backs and he left the police station. He called his mother from the woods in Hixson near the old middle school and said he didn’t do anything but wasn’t going to jail as a child rapist then shots himself. turns out they were both lies. No DNA and no Psychiatrist report. and nobody held accountable.
Never believe the police
Except the guy really did commit the crime. This was no innocent person. He was a career criminal and heroin druggie who was trying to hide from police. I wouldn’t have stated the “might not make it” line but the rest of what they said is appropriate and legal. He killed himself because he likely had previous attempts due to his addiction and mental illness.
