The case stirs up questions about how people are treated in custody. Whurs troy johnson is here with todays talk around town. Troy, are your listeners okay with this ruling . They are not satisfied with the ruling. They say these jails need to do a much better job of identifying and handling people that are in custody when it comes to these jails, especially if they are having issues with Mental Illness<\/a> and doesnt seem like in their mind they are doing a good job of that. There has to be a better way to check on people as they come into the jails because their lives in danger, since being handled by a corrections officer. And what are they talking about how mckenna was characterized after her death . Yeah, that was something that came up, that a lot of people talked about. They said that, you know, she seemed to be characterized as someone who was using super human strength, you know, was a situation that she had more control than the six men that were trying to restrain her and that really struck a chord with the listeners that i talked to. They said essentially that, you know, thats kind of an insult to a woman who was suffering from schizophrenia. She was there was no way, in their mind, she could have imposed herself on those officers and they say thats really in some peoples mind, they were strongly feeling like thats built of a racist statement. Some say they found it hard to believe that theres no wrongdoing in this case and also the fact that the onus was placed on her and not the officers involved in restraining her when initially she was restrained by people unarmed. All of these incidents should be looked at on their own merits but there are some parallels here with other cases, like sandra bland. Sandra bland was the name that came up specifically, freddie gray as well. But sandra bland, she essentially have was an issue with whether or not she had been screened for Mental Health<\/a> issues in her interview when she came to the jail and, you know, that was kind of a running theme and maybe issues not addressed correctly. And the other thing that was really resonating with people was the fact that she wasnt mop toward correctly after she had admitted that she may have had some mental issues. Obviously, the procedures not being followed well enough in terms of what people are talking to me about. They say there needs to be a better handle on those kinds of situations. No one should be dying in custody. Well said. Thanks, troy. Pat .
